Yes, for some reason, the apache webserver on the server occasionally fails to restart gracefully after doing the daily logrotate in the mornings. We thought we had fixed it, but it seems to still be occuring sometimes.

I've had this same problem on a RHEL 2.1 server I maintain. It is something to do with a re-entrancy in PHP (or something). Something about the signal handling in PHP causes it to segfault on the second SIGHUP. So basically it bails every second day. I altered the log rotation scripts to do a service restart instead. Solved the problem. Not ideal but it works. Regards On Wed, 2005-02-23 at 08:40 +1300, John R. McPherson wrote: oliver(a)deeperdesign.com » +64 (21) 41 2238 » www.deeperdesign.com
