[MOBY-dev] mobycentral revived

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi all, 

sorry about that - I was in post-surgery with my cat when it went down
and I never got back on-line until this AM.

MOBY Central is a bit flaky at the moment, and we can't figure out why. 
It is a rather sudden flakyness that doesn't seem to correspond to any
particular change we have made.  The Apache error logs fill up with
segfaults within a couple of hours and that crashes the system as the
amount of available memory goes to zero.  MySQL seems to be having a
similar problem (it was mysql that had crashed last night).  This all
seems to point to a physical memory error, but we can't detect one...

It may be time to get a new machine for MOBY :-)

Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it throughout the day.  I have turned
apache's error logging to "critical" to reduce teh number of error
messages, so hopefully we'll have longer availability between crashes.

Sorry about this!

M
