Re: [mv] The Mysterious (Periodic) Disappearance of Minivend...



March,

I am also having the exact same problem with a new install.

I have minivend installed on one system and it has run for 6 months
with multiple catalogs without ever dying on its own 
(not including the occasional server reboot):
Perl 5.005_02, Apache 1.3.3, FreeBSD2.2.8 and Minivend 3.12


The new server is set up as follows:
Perl 5.005_03, Apache 1.3.9, FreeBSD3.2 and Minivend 3.12
with only 1 catalog (although it is a busy one)
and it dies randomly with no errors anywhere.

There are no "watchdogs" killing it, as I own both servers and have root
access.
Can anyone shed some light?
