https locked out

[peterwynne]

Morning!

I got this alert yesterday morning and found out this morning that https traffic wasn't working.

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/apache2/*.log
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

To clear this quickly I rebooted and everything was fine. Just after the reboot I noticed a large number of mails queuing with error "could not connect to 128.0.0.1" [rough error from memory]. I didn't take long for this mail to clear after the reboot.

Any ideas?

mails queuing with error "could not connect to 127.0.0.1" [rough error from memory]. I didn't take long for this mail to clear after the reboot.

Seems the filter Daemon is not running - maybe you run out of memory?

 

[peterwynne]

that 'could not connect' error is a secondary issue that I can't really confirm...

my main issue is the error:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/apache2/*.log
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

​

this caused the web service not to work... I need to find out why this was.. It was at 6am on a Sunday morning - so there would have been little if any load at all.

See the attached screenshot below - my CPU usage is very high. Box is running like a dog Any ideas on this - or the error above?

Now got this when navigating the web interface:

your load is quite high - you run on vmware? is the underlying storage system fast? what version of vmware do you run?

 

[peterwynne]

it's unusually high... we had the same load on a physical box and it idled along at 2/3%.

Now it's spiking to 90/100%.

Version of VMware is vSphere 4

FC with SAS HDD - SAN storage, very very quick.

pls send your config (backup file) to support@proxmox.com - I assume you run already 2.6 - 4565?

 

[tom]

how much RAM do you assign?

 

[peterwynne]

Physical Memory (1008MB/878MB)

config sent & build : proxmox-mailgateway/2.6/4540

Now after no changes - back to normal.
