I’m currently trying to diagnose a problem that I can’t touch. I can’t allow anyone else to look at it. The people who can let others look at it won’t. So here I am. It’s kind of a blind flailing situation.
So tomorrow, I’ll update JobFlow (which I elect to do jack shit all). I’ll check the logs to see why things petered off at 5:16pm. My assumption is still that we’re looking at an issue in Apache. That’d be my guess. My current methods involve going through and killing all SMB access. I think Apache is insisting on opening and closing every freaking port it can find too fast, which means it’s just running out of open ports. This gets worse when there’s a backlog of files to process as suddenly there’s a race to finish one a port does open up.
This is getting so annoying that I’m actually blogging about what I do at work. I’m still intentionally vague, but this is the closest I’d ever get to really discussing it.
There had to be a something wrong. There has to be a reason why or install is such complete trouble. I wonder if it was that one patch I found for Apache. Or maybe it’s the number of that never freaking die! Whelp, that’s tomorrow (today).
