Thanks to my son and husband, I may be rebuilding my new web server. The Compaq DL380 will not boot up. It briefly acquires it's IP address but after about 5 minutes, the IP address "disappears" from my network! I've tried two different monitors, once loads X, it "disappears" from the monitors also!
I can get the server up booting from the CD and using linux rescue. I was able to run backups of MySQL data and backup all the pertinent files. My site is running on a "backup" workstation/server temporarily.
My question is - should I completely scrap this install of Fedora Core 2 on the Compaq DL380? Do I have other alternatives? I plan on tackling this project tomorrow morning, so I hope a few of you will give me some ideas and suggestions.
Baffled,
Jon Moss
my first question would be is have you tried going to runlevel 3 to see if somthin during boot fails then looking at whats running process wise maybe somthing has gone amuck and eats up all the system resorses? or somthing of the sort.
