Hey guys,

You may have read my problem earlier about my Raq going completely dead after I tried to install PHP4.

Well the Raq now works, but it keeps becoming inaccessible every 1/2 an hour or so.

I think it might have something to do with AdCycle because since I got the server back up, AdCycle doesn't show up (the banners dont work on all sites)

I know that the AdCycle software is being requested by about 10,000 ppl a day so if there's something wrong with it, it's probably killing the server.

So, I need to know how I can de-activate AdCycle? I have compiled it so the daemon version of AdCycle is running, not the default CGI one.

How else can I find out what might be causing my server to go on and off like this?

Thanks so much guys!

To stop it, type the following:

perl safe_adcycled stop

However, unless you have it set as a cron job it should not have started back up when the server was rebooted. If you have set it up as a cron job you will need to edit your crontab:

crontab -e

and remove the line that references safe_adcycled.

(of course you will have to do all this as root).

Good luck!

Hey!

Its all ok now - you were right.

I just stopped it and then restarted the daemons and it works now :-)

Cheers everyone - this place is awesome!
