I asked you in my previous post to check the log files using the PID’s from the first post you made. I will quote your first post below:
You see in big letters PID
- and you see a number after it? Now check the log files under /var/log/
I think a good one would be /var/log/messages
to start with, and then go through others if you do not find it. Do you know how to use grep
to check log files? In case you do not here is a tutorial to help you with that: Grep Command in Linux/UNIX | DigitalOcean which I found with Google. You can find a lot of information using Google, just in case you haven’t heard of it already.
Let’s google coredumpctl
and see what that gives us? From the very first result we have: coredumpctl which if you read it does tell you the command you can use to get information. So now, if we use one of the PID’s from your post above:
coredumpctl list 869766
that should give you something back. Now you can get more detail with:
coredumpctl info 869766
Other commands can also be found in that link that I googled for you.
Well Novell is like 10 - 20 years old, so memory requirements are not the same as they are now. So you cannot expect systems that exist today to use the same or less amount of memory than servers that are 20+ years old.
The internet is a wonderful place where search engines can help you get a lot of information. However, it means you do have to put more effort in by searching your own server for logs and information that might help us to help you. If you do not provide it, or expect someone to spoon feed you with commands because you cannot be bothered to read about commands that we gave you, or cannot even do a simple google search to find out about a command we gave you, then you just make our life more difficult/impossible.
If that is too difficult for you, I suggest you should purchase a mail service like Outlook 365 or Zoho Mail and have your old email domain redirected there. Then all you have to do is send/receive emails, and you don’t have to worry about configuring and running a server that you have no idea about and seem unwilling to learn because it isn’t Novell. You can also pay for shared hosting solutions as well that offer PHPBB - which would also save you from having to administer it. The servers would be maintained and upgraded by the shared hosting provider.
We didn’t say that the updates didn’t cause it, we have been trying to assist you, but you are extremely difficult to work with as you are unwilling to give the information we asked for - especially when we’ve given explicit information as to what log file to check, and then all you need to do is look at it, search for info, and provide it here.
If you come to the forums asking for help, you need to be prepared to put in effort into giving the information we ask for. If you do not know how to do that, Google can give you access to a lot of information that can help you do that. We are not here to google for you, since you won’t learn anything that way if someone just tells you what to do all the time. And it’s lazy to think so otherwise.
If all that sounds hash, well I’m sorry but what we have asked you to do is really simple Linux admin commands - they are not difficult. And even if you don’t know them, it’s very easy to find information on them if you put in a little bit more effort.
