[rhn-users] Problem with Apache 2.0

[Aflatoon Aflatooni]

Hi,

            I have a problem with Apache 2.0.

            I have applied all the current updates through RHN to the server
with the exception of the kernel updates which I can't update due to
hardware issues.

            Over the weekend the apache stopped working and it wouldn't
restart, the error that I was getting is the following:

 

[Mon May 09 10:01:02 2005] [crit] (28)No space left on device: mod_rewrite:
could not create rewrite_log_lock

Configuration Failed!

[Mon May 09 10:38:16 2005] [crit] (28)No space left on device: mod_rewrite:

Configuration Failed!

[Mon May 09 10:41:16 2005] [crit] (28)No space left on device: mod_rewrite:
could not create rewrite_log_lock

 

 

            I checked the devices and there was space available. This is a
problem with the semaphores, but I couldn't figure it out.

            I was forced to do an emergency reboot of the server to get
apache to start again.

            I have couple of questions:

            What is causing this problem?

            And how do you resolve it?

            

            Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
