server hardware - mobo
Because its happening to both servers, i suspect its the hardware, it i think in part stems to the eepro100 drivers, which i reverted back to e100 on both, still same problem looks like it exists.
On the newwest server, before we dumped our customers on it, we were having issues so we sent it back to Amax, they said bad ram, changed it out, file transfers resumed to normal, no seg faults...
we then had issues with apache, so the admin working on it, recompilied a "custom" apache build on it, not like normal cpanel apaches...since then (and i think this is a different problem from above) i am getting
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd: line 187: 21560 Segmentation fault $HTTPD -DSSL on apache restart...Cpanel admin's are going to look into that.......
Others say likely a prob with mod_ssl
xxxxxxxxxxx
Now my question
Rather then spend $4k on 2 new servers and sell these ones on ebay, I think it has alot to do with the motherboards....cant i just change out the motherboard and put a new one in? What would i have to do other then swap out the mobos? would my existing harddrives see the new mobo with any weird errors popping up on reboot?
I would rather spend $300 on a trip down to CA, put in the mobos and come back to Anchorage if i know that will solve my problems...rather then buying a new rack, sending it down, moving customers off...etc....thats just bucks i dont have at the moment
