    Hi,

    LAMP? LAMP uses Apache.

    LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL PHP

    Apache has been around for yonks, and is used by the largest corporations due to its stability. I think our Apache may need to be reconfigured/tuned rather than replaced.

    I'd also like to run a cron job to do a full reboot each Monday morning (2am-4am) Sydney time.

    Google LEMP River. I was referring to LAMP being the de-facto standard that is slowly being replaced by LEMP (linux, nginx, mysql, php), where you swap out Apache for NGINX (pronounced Engine-X), which is a much better webserver.

    All those cool "cloud" content caching services you see these days use nginx as a reverse proxy. I use it purely as a webserver and unless you are doing all sorts of weird apache module crapola, NGINX drops right in and performs better.

    If you need a second set of eyes to look at your apache stuff, let me know. Happy to look at a sanitised config and basic version stuff to recommend what I can. I'm not a web guru but I've run large scale apache installs in the past (/21 of addresses doing Vhosts for hundreds of sites), so might be of some help. I'm more a server and networking guy rather than a coding/application guy, and probably been using Linux as long as you River, despite our age gap.

    a cronjob might be rather crude, but would work. I'd personally run some sort of monitoring or at least log tailing for certain signs that might warrant a HUP of the process.

    Hi,

    Okay, I'll check it out.

    Not sure what monitoring we have on our system or who checks the logs files, but I'm sure there's a few things that may need to be checked for the right config.

    Yes, cron is a crude extemporisation for this task, but it works.

    Hey, I'm the money guy... not the IT dude!

    Hi,

    Okay we went down but we are up again.

    I think lambo did something and I then got the system rebooted as it hasn't been booted since 2011. Anyway let's see how it goes. I'll look into the error logs this weekend.
