RE: [cobalt-users] Help!!! RaQ4 meltdown

["Ahmad" <ahmad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hooray! The Cobalt list is finally back up.

Hi Jeff,

I installed it in usr. 
I have cleared up space.

-------

As for the logs, they seem to show problems with the DNS:

HTTPD:
[alert] mod_unique_id: unable to gethostbyname("(none
)")

FTP:
proftpd[26521]: _none_ - Fatal: unable to determine IP address of
`_none_'.

MAIL:
Mail error: Mar 16 05:15:41 (none) imapd[7126]: imap service init from
127.0.0.1
Mar 16 05:15:41 (none) imapd[7126]: Logout user=??? host=localhost
[127.0.0.1]
Mar 16 05:15:42 (none) sendmail[7128]: NOQUEUE: localhost [127.0.0.1]
did not is
sue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA

------------

As for what's running, it appears to me everything except apache (httpd
and adm httpd) and proftp.

------------

As for restarting, I already have, and you're right it didn't boot up. I
had to get the hosting people to start it up for me.

------------

So any ideas Jeff? What do I have to rebuild? How do I go about it?

TIA

Ahmad Kurdi

On which file system(s) did you run out of space?  Have you reclaimed
space by deleting unnecessary files and/or moving files to home and
creating symbolic links?  Have you looked at the log files to see what
errors you get when you try to restart services?

Have you done "greps" on the "ps aux" command to see if the daemons that
should be running according to /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ _are_ running?

If not, have you tried to restart them while watching the log files
they're supposed to write to, to see what error messages you get?

If you haven't successfully rebooted the server yet, my suggestion would
be DON'T.  It's possible it won't restart.

Based on the answers to these questions, I'd seriously consider making a
cmu backup if you don't already have one, and if cmu will run.  You may
end up having to rebuild your RaQ, depending on what's broken.

Jeff
