Hi Don,
I should point out (as mentioned at
http://www.zill.net/mod_aolserver.html ) that the behavior I am
seeing comes from running under OpenBSD. The 3.0 binary that
I built from the OpenBSD "port package" will exit or zombie,
leaving no clues in any logfiles.
Quite frankly, the decision process to focus on mod_aolserver
went like this:
Choose OS: OpenBSD wins over Linux because of security
(flames to /dev/null) and documentation (man pages actually get
re-written if the program changes).
Given OpenBSD, what is the best way to get OpenACS up and
running on it? Answer: mod_aolserver. We compensate for any
performance difference by giving each customer their own box.
As I mention at the above URL, those who want to run their own
setup, whether it be Solaris/Linux/whatever, can easily do so by
shipping their own hardware for us to install.
