Server unresponsive until reboot, memory exhausted
by james 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

I'm having an issue with an apache web server running the latest CentOS5 kernel (this issue is not new to the kernel). After a few days/weeks of running the server will become unresponsive and will require a physical reboot in order to come back online. The system is so unresponsive when the issue occurs that login at console is not even possible. I have atop installed and have looked back before the crash to see what happened process wise and I can see the http starts using a lot of memory and CPU usage. The vmcommit jumps from 1.8 GB to 4.8GB in a matter of a few minutes. The VSIZE of the httpd process jumps from 8.1GB to 36.9GB. So apache is doing something -- but how can I get historical data for this? I also see that paging is very active, probably why the server is unresponsive. I have looked through the apache logs and system logs and there is nothing obvious that is consuming all that memory. I know of the server-status module for apache but that is only useful if you can get to the server during the crash (I can't) and doesn't have any historical data. The issue occurs seemingly randomly, last time in the middle of the night with little or no user traffic. James

tomcat errors starting after upgrade from cent5.3 to 5.5 (/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find)
by Frank Even 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

We just upgraded Cent from 5.3 to 5.5 on a bunch of servers with little to no issues (kudos to you guys) except on a few servers where it appears we are having a problem w/ the Tomcat upgrade. Previously our application server was working fine under 5.3 with Tomcat/Java installed as such: java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-0.30.b09.el5 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-0.30.b09.el5 java-sun-jdbc-stdext-2.0.1-1mamba java-sun-jdbc-stdext-javadoc-2.0.1-1mamba tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-jasper-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_2.1 Now that we've run the full update, we have this installed: java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.115 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.16.b17.el5 java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-1.16.b17.el5 java-sun-jdbc-stdext-2.0.1-1mamba java-sun-jdbc-stdext-javadoc-2.0.1-1mamba tomcat5-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-common-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-jasper-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-jsp-2.0-api-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-server-lib-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23-0jpp.11.el5_5 tzdata-java-2010l-1.el5 I don't see any significant changes. All of the configs appear to be the same. Yet now on our application startup, we see the following: Starting tomcat5: /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find jdbc-stdext Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find jndi Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Some detected jars were not found for this jvm /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Could not find jaas Java extension for this JVM /usr/bin/rebuild-jar-repository: error: Some detected jars were not found for this jvm ....what could have changed to have caused these issues? Having trouble hunting this down. Any help that could be provided would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks, Frank

Moving from Fedora -- Advice??
by Beartooth 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

I'm running Fedora14 on all machines, including my wife's -- and I'm the nearest (distant) thing there is to tech support. She's far more likely to outlive me than I her; so I want to install something requiring a lot less maintenance on her machine, so that she'll have it and be used to it, years ahead of need. I'm thinking CentOS 6, whenever it's ready, is probably my best choice. Any thoughts? (And yes, I do mean what my .sig says.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Changing Root E-Mail address
by Jason T. Slack-Moehrle 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hi All, I installed a new CentOS 5.5 box and I am getting a daily e-mail (I am not sure how this was triggered) with XNTPD logs, HTTP Error and Disk Space). It is being sent to root(a)www.6colors.co which bounces, but I have a catch all so it does get to me. How do I change where this e-mail is sent? I have tried in /etc/postfix/main.cd, master.cf, bounce.cf.default, etc and I don't see where this is set. Can anyone help out? Best, -Jason

I uninstalled the version of Picasa for Linux I'd gotten from the google yum repository, installed wine and then I downloaded the M$ Windows version (3.8) of Google's Picasa and installed that with Wine. Working! :-) Strangely, in the Help > About it shows that it is Picasa version 3.8.x for Linux. :-) Thanks to the 3 of you who replied. Much appreciated! Lanny
