Core/Media Director keeps crashing

[lon22]

I have had a hybrid up and running for over two months. Now all of a sudden at any given time the hybrid (core) will crash, no error messages, just totally unresponsive. I can't ssh in to it. There is only one other computer on the network with the hybrid and it is running Win Xp. The hybrid has only one network connection.

The only change I made to the hybrid recently is that I installed php, so that I could view the pluto databases with phpMyAdmin. Has anyone else experience a problem like this, after installing php? I was thinking maybe it could also be that there is too much network traffic ruining thought the core and that I might need to install a second NIC.

Thanks

I dont recall having to install php with phpmyadmin. I think its alraedy installed by default perhaps that is the problem.

Howdy,

I was experiencing the same type of total lock up.  Real pain as this would stop routing the LAN to the internet.  Basically the system would lock up somewhere between 4 hours and 5 days.  Originally with 0704, but problem remained after upgrading to 0710B2.  I could not find any indication of a problem in the logs.  Thinking it might be thermal related, I changed the airflow direction of my blow hole case fan (actually only fan) in my Zalman 135 case.  The fan is right above the CPU fan.  Originally I had the CPU fan blowing down and the case fan blowing up (exhausting).  I changed it so both are blowing down.  Currently at 10 days up time.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

HTH,
Roy

Yep... php is installed as part of LinuxMCE... Web Admin is written in php ;-)

Seeing how I haven't modified any hardware and the load on the network is relatively the same, I will go with my php installation as the culprit. I will attempt an uninstalled of the php version I installed. Hopefully this corrects the problem. I didn't realize that php was already installed.
