Fedora 12 - Strage problem - Freezes

[K_meleonu]

Hi to all,

I have a P4, with Intel Celeron dual core 3.06 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 80GB HDD and Fedora release 12 Constantine on it.
The HUGE problem is that the system hang's-up. Last time was an hour ago after it worked almost 12 hours whitout problems.
When it hang's up i can't acces any service on it, can't use any commands (dowsn't matter if i am allready connected via SSH or directly on the server)
The only problems i could find in the log's are in dmesg:

I have found the problem.
I found the server frozeed again and the first command it came'd in my mind was "w"

[root@CrazyDesign log]# w
05:52:19 up 7:12, 4 users, load average: 121.68, 150.87, 156.52
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT

root pts/22 86.106.120.7 00:24 5:26m 2:12 2:12 top

I was having 4 terminals (putty) opened on the server from the last reboot, in one of then i was having top started and i saw httpd many times there, so i took my chnaces and ran service httpd restart in one of the terminals.
After that the server camed back to life.

In my httpd error log i have:

You ccan see that from 04:54:20 to 05:51:59 are no records.
I have restarted httpd around 05:50 and then it started to log again.

Can anyone knows how to "repair" apache?
For the moment i haved added a cron job to run from 2 to 2 hours and restard httpd.

Thank you all for reading my post and for yout replys

Thank you for your reply falko.
I have done some research today and before reading the link you gaved me i have fond the following.
When the server "dies" i have werry werry much httpd instances starded.
I thing that could be from an httpd flood (port 80 flood)
For that i am thinking to some iptables limit lines and a cron script to check how many httpd instances are stared and if they are more that X number to restart httpd.

Do you think this is ok? I mean, i don't see why this would not work, but i want a second opinion.

Thank you again for reading the post and aswering to it.

I'd use monit for this: http://www.howtoforge.com/server_mon...debian_etch_p2

Hi there,
Thank's for the link.
I use Fedora 12 but that is not a problem. I have installed and configured monit to do what i need.
I saw that there might be a but with monit.
It does not do a killall -9 httpd or /etc/init.d/httpd stop . Instead of that it kill's the pid of the httpd.
At a service httpd status or /etc/init.d/httpd status it show's httpd is stopped but at a ps aux | grep httpd you can see the httpd processes started and the webserver / web sites is/are accessible.

For the moment i am leaving it as it is to see how it work's. I have stopped the cron job (i had one to restart httpd from time to time to avoid past problems).

Thank's again for your answers.
