Topic: Random Offline

[TheCase]

Hi,

Randomly my server goes offline. There is no pattern to this. It can be fine for weeks then have 5 issues in one day. I have to restart Apache and it all come back on.

I'm not sure where to start to look for errors as I'm not that experienced. Any suggestions will be helpful

Server Info
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition
PHP Version 5.4.9
Apache Version Apache/2.4.1 (Win32)
MySQL version 5.0.10


Thanks

In the error log is where to start looking.

If you're seeing this:
(OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed

try adding to your httpd.conf
AcceptFilter http none
AcceptFilter https none

Thanks but I'm not seeing that error this is my log

There is nothing in your error log.

What you describe however sounds like the winnt_acceptex failure, so I suggest giving those AcceptFilter lines a try. It can't hurt and if the server continues to pull this prank, you can just remove them later.
