I have an ensim on RackShack, and almost every 1 to 2 weeks has to be rebooted.

I have found this on /var/log/messages

what does this means?

Do i have faulty hardware? or it is Linux? it is not supposed to be stable?

My server has to be rebooted every week... and hosting customers are not happy about that...

Anybody can help me with this?

thanks!!!

Faulty Memory... after 6 reboots, they found it...

if you ever have a problem at Rackshack, force them to investigate it and not just close the Trouble Tickets...

End of problem.

Still up! Maybe the faulty memory was causing little problems! :D


Is it possible that sendmail, on same cases, was lock with some mssg and taking all resources, due to a faulty memory problem?

I could get that uptime on windows if stupid microsoft didn't reset its uptime after 55 days!

I have had better uptime with my Ensim box that all of my Raq servers.

My ensim server:

server running since last reboot: 49 days 22 hours 13 minutes

Raq's are poor too!

I started on a RAQ - I despise them.

I never liked ensim

But I like cpanel, h-sphere and plesk :D

Ensim by far is the least flexible / intensive / innovative / feature rich of all of these particular options.

uptime being constant is not really a problem for a system that provides 5% of the functionality of the competition, once you get past the potential kernel incompatibilies, of course.

it's a great concept (ensim), it just doesn't really pack a solid punch.

my .02, that's all, seriously
