User sites unreachable after weekly script run

Server 10.3.9 on both my webserver and on my Xserve with RAID where my user sites are hosted.
I have sites hosted directly on my webserver and my user sites are served through the webserver but site on the Xserve, shared through Open Directory.
Everything works awesome except every Saturday morning, after the weekly script runs on both machines at 4:30 a.m., my users sites are no longer available through the webserver. If I reboot the webserver they come back just fine.
I've looked through the weekly script and nothing was obvious to me that would break this connection.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks
Eric

Thanks for these tips. I've tried them and a few other things...
It sounds, and I may be wrong, like you're proxying
through your webserver to your file server for the
user sites. The first thing will be to find out
which machine is getting goofed up.
Tomorrow, see if your regular websites are accessible
after the script runs.
The user sites are not available this morning through my webserver, as has been the case since installing the server in January. The regular (local) sites on the webserver are just fine.
Try the user's sites directly
from the file server, eliminating the webserver
proxying.
I don't usually run the webserver on my file server but I did fire it up this morning and was able to reach the user sites through it.
If both of those are okay, then setup a
terminal window on each machine, and on both machines
do:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
and try hitting the user's sites through the
webserver and see what messages come up on each
machine, and post them.
I don't get any error messages when accessing the user sites through the fileserver. I do get errors on the webserver when accessing user sites, saying "File does not exist:" then the path to the Network directory where the users site is. ( /Network/Servers/fileserver.address/Volumes/Home/username/Sites )
This prompted me to try accessing user sites from one of my desktop machines (running OS X client 10.4.5) that is also connected to the fileserver with OD, and is running a webserver. That worked fine!
I then tried to traverse the filesystem at the command line on my webserver to reach the users home sites and couldn't do it. I could do it on my desktop machine.
So it appears that something on Server is breaking the AFP communication between the webserver and the fileserver when the periodic weekly scripts are run. I did try restarting AFP on the webserver just in case but that made no difference. I can't really restart AFP on the fileserver as I have users actively connected, but my guess is that is working just fine since I can access those shared volumes from my desktop machines.
Instead of restarting whichever machine you've been
restarting, try stopping and starting just the
webserver to see if that takes care of the problem.
I did try this and everything was the same as above.
Strange that Server has this problem losing connection to AFP shares, but my clients don't. There isn't anything obvious to me in the weekly scripts that could cause this but I'll look again in case I missed this.
Seems like others would have run across this??
Note: a reboot of the webserver again this morning (after this testing) returned the users sites to my webserver. Doing an automatic reboot each week would be a kludge solution, but one that I really want to avoid if possible.
Thanks for the troubleshooting tips. I hope you or someone else has some further advice...

    could you please help me on this.
    Thanks with Regards,

    Muthu,
    This issue usually occurs when the AM.class file is not available at the given location. Try to find out on the server whether this
    tflsm.oracle.apps.po.per.server.TflsmAM exists.
    If still the problem persists then go for redeployement by deleting the existing one.

  • DB nonresponsive with ORA-12514 after weeks of running fine

    I have seen many prior users complain about getting ORA-12514 after a reboot after installation, and looking at the suggestions, I couldn't find anything addressed a situation where the whole system works for a long period of time and then stops working.
    I have a working APEX installation that I can access over the web from remote clients
    I have a working JDBC connection that I can use from several remote clients.
    After several weeks/months of happily running, I no longer can access the apex website, and I can no longer access the db through the JDBC connection getting:
    ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
    descriptor
    The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
    //###.###.###.###:1521/XE
    Going to look at Windows services, both OracleServiceXE and OracleXETNSListener are still running. To try and recover, I do the following:
    * Stop the db and start the db. (Which simply stops OracleServiceXE, and then starts both it and the listener)
    Doesn't fix it
    * Thinking that the listener might be the problem, I then stop the db, and also manually stop the listener. I then start both of the services
    Doesn't fix it
    * I reboot the computer
    Fixes it.
    What is different about rebooting the computer that could possibly fix this? Also, someone had suggested in another thread to look at the listener log in db_1/network/admin/listener.log. I don't know what db_1 is, but I have a oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN directory that does not have this log. If anyone has any insight into what this is, or what log I should look at to identify it, I would be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks!
    Ah, the alert log, that is a useful find. For those who don't know, you can find where the alert log is stored by doing the following:
    select value from v$parameter where name = 'background_dump_dest';
    I looked at the alert log, and i think it indicates that the process is running out of memory. Since it can run for a very long time without this, I'm assuming it's some kind of memory leak. Especially since I think the less I develop pages with APEX, the longer the system goes between crashing (That is only anecdotal). I looked at the .trc files that it spit out as well, but they seem to have internal stack traces and dumps. Where do I go from here? Is this something I post to an Oracle bug list? Below is the relevant section of the alert log:

  • Remove 1st & 2nd lines in 1st file, and 1st line in 2nd file. I want the headers to be the first line after the script runs!

    I have two files that look like this (Notepad++):
    In the first file, which has a date as a name and always ends in 'COV', I want to remove the 1st & 2nd lines.  All lines end in LF (LineFeed).  In the 2nd file, which has a date as a name and always ends in 'RSK', I want to remove the 1st line. 
    Basically I want only the headers.  I'm working with the code below.  I've tried several different iterations of
    reader.ReadLine().Skip(1);
    reader.ReadLine().Skip(2);
    reader.ReadLine().Skip(3);
    It never really gives me what I want, so I can't tell what's going on here.  I guess I'm missing something simple, but I don't know what.  Any ideas, anyone?
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;

    string sourceDirectory = @"C:\Users\rshuell\Desktop\Downloads\Files";
    try

    foreach (string currentFile in txtFiles)
    if (currentFile.Contains("COV"))
    var items1 = new LinkedList<string>();
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(currentFile))
    reader.ReadLine().Skip(2); // skip 2lines
    string line;
    while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
    items1.AddLast(line.Replace("\"", ""));
    File.WriteAllLines(currentFile, items1);
    else
    var items2 = new LinkedList<string>();
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(currentFile))
    reader.ReadLine().Skip(1); // skip one line

    catch (Exception ex)
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Call the ReadLine() twice if you want to skip the first two lines. Each call results in a single line being read:
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string sourceDirectory = @"C:\Users\rshuell\Desktop\Downloads\Files";
    try
    var txtFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles(sourceDirectory);
    foreach (string currentFile in txtFiles)
    if (currentFile.Contains("COV"))
    var items1 = new LinkedList<string>();
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(currentFile))
    reader.ReadLine(); //read line 1
    reader.ReadLine(); //read line 2
    string line;
    while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
    items1.AddLast(line.Replace("\"", ""));
    File.WriteAllLines(currentFile, items1);
    else
    var items2 = new LinkedList<string>();
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(currentFile))
    reader.ReadLine(); // skip one line
    string line;
    while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
    items2.AddLast(line.Replace("\"", ""));
    File.WriteAllLines(currentFile, items2);
    catch (Exception ex)
    Calling the Skip method on the already read string returned by the ReadLine() method won't help you at all here. By the time you call the Skip method the line has already been read from the file. You must call the ReadLine() method for a new line being read.
    Hope that helps.

  • Custom Email Message after HR Batch Run

    Is there a way to customize the email message body for batches that are setup to email report output after processing? I know you can put what you'd like in the Subject line but I would like to put a whatever I want in the actual email body.
    Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    Is the e-mail send in an event script or a custom script. I had issues where the custom script would work, but the event script would not ( i think it may have been because the custom script runs under the FDM user id whilst the event script runs under the windows service id.

  • I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

    I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add?  Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

    A simple text page like this:
    Heading
        sub heading
              text paragraph ....
    Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
    <h1>Heading</h1>
         <h2>sub heading</h2>
              <p>text paragraph ... </p>
    I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
    This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
    I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

  • Search for records in the event viewer after the last run (not the entire event log), remove duplicate - Output Logon type for a specific OU users

    } >> $logFile
    I am able to pipe the results to a file however, I would like to convert it to CSV/HTML When i try "convertto-HTML"
    function it converts certain values . Also,
    a) I would like to remove duplicate entries when the script runs only for that execution. 
    b) When the script is run, we may be able to search for records after the last run and not search in the same
    records that we have looked into before.
    PLEASE HELP ! 

    If you just want to look for the new events since the last run, I suggest to record the EventRecordID of the last event you parsed and use it as a reference in your filter. For example:
    <QueryList>
      <Query Id="0" Path="Security">
        <Select Path="Security">*[System[(EventID=4624 and
    EventRecordID>46452302)]]</Select>
        <Suppress Path="Security">*[EventData[Data[@Name="SubjectLogonId"]="0x0" or Data[@Name="TargetDomainName"]="NT AUTHORITY" or Data[@Name="TargetDomainName"]="Window Manager"]]</Suppress>
      </Query>
    </QueryList>
    That's this logic that the Server Manager of Windows Serve 2012 is using to save time, CPU and bandwidth. The problem is how to get that number and provide it to your next run. You can store in a file and read it at the beginning. If not found, you
    can go through the all event list.
    Let's say you store it in a simple text file, ref.txt
    1234
    At the beginning just read it.
    Try {
    $_intMyRef = [int] (Get-Content .\ref.txt)
    Catch {
    Write-Host "The reference EventRecordID cannot be found." -ForegroundColor Red
    $_intMyRef = 0
    This is very lazy check. You can do a proper parsing etc... That's a quick dirty way. If I can read
    it and parse it as an integer, I use it. Else, I just set it to 0 meaning I'll collect all info.
    Then include it in your filter. You Get-WinEvent becomes:
    Get-WinEvent -FilterXml "<QueryList><Query Id=""0"" Path=""Security""><Select Path=""Security"">*[System[(EventID=4624 and EventRecordID&gt;$_intMyRef)]]</Select><Suppress Path=""Security"">*[EventData[Data[@Name=""SubjectLogonId""]=""0x0"" or Data[@Name=""TargetDomainName""]=""NT AUTHORITY"" or Data[@Name=""TargetDomainName""]=""Window Manager""]]</Suppress></Query></QueryList>"
    At the end of your script, store the last value you got into your ref.txt file. So you can for example get that info in the loop. Like:
    $Result += $LogonRecord
    $_intLastId = $Event.RecordId
    And at the end:
    Write-Output $_intLastId | Out-File .\ref.txt
    Then next time you run it, it is just scanning the delta. Note that I prefer this versus the date filter in case of the machine wasn't active for long or in case of time sync issue which can sometimes mess up with the date based filters.
    If you want to go for a date filtering, do it at the Get-WinEvent level, not in the Where-Object. If the query is local, it doesn't change much. But in remote system, it does the filter on the remote side therefore you're saving time and resources on your
    side. So for example for the last 30 days, and if you want to use the XMLFilter parameter, you can use:
    <QueryList>
    <Query Id="0" Path="Security">
    <Select Path="Security">*[System[TimeCreated[timediff(@SystemTime) &lt;= 2592000000]]]</Select>
    </Query>

    Then you can combine it, etc...
    PS, I used the confusing underscores because I like it ;)

  • What would cause Firefox to request a resource multiple times after a long running script?

    I'm noticing some unusual behavior in Firefox when I include an image directly after a call to an external script which is long-running.
    For example:
    <pre><nowiki> <html>
    <body>
    <script type="text/javascript" src='external.js'></script>
    <img src="/test.gif" BORDER=0 WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1 >
    </body>
    </html>
    </nowiki></pre>
    <br />
    Contents of external.js:
    <pre><nowiki> for(i=0; i<999999; i++){ ; }
    </nowiki></pre>
    <br />
    I notice that when a request to test.gif results in a 404 or 302, Firefox makes another request for that same resource immediately after the script has completed.
    127.0.0.1 - - [29/Apr/2011:16:22:22 -0400] "GET /test.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 507
    127.0.0.1 - - [29/Apr/2011:16:22:22 -0400] "GET /test.gif HTTP/1.1" 404 507
    This behavior doesn't occur for inline javascript, and I have pipelining turned off, so I'm fairly certain it's not related to that. Seems like odd behavior, or I'm just missing something not-so-obvious. Any ideas?

  • What actions should I take after seeing this script running @ startup today?  "ARDAgent\" to do shell script \"say quack\"'"

    STEPS TAKEN:
    Logged into Mac for first time today.
    Noticed a new individual file in Directory Library ".a.text". (Settings disply hidden system file/folders)
    File contained only the text "--purge".
    Meta data on file directed source to bash process run @ startup.
    Attached History command output.
    Disabled ARD for now.
    SETTINGS:
    All Sharing was Off. 
    Firewall was set to Block All Incoming Connections.
    Home network with no other active users at time.
    Upgraded to Mavs 10.9.2 last night.
    Do not use any file sharing or remote access into Mac.
    The SSH host attempts were my old Amazon EC2 instances.
    Appears to start bitcoin app and few databases.
    Worth noting I've been having tons of various issues last few months.
    Thanks.

    I'm extremely unclear on exactly what's happening. You mention something about a script running at startup in your subject, but then never mention that again. What's going on there? Where are you finding that script?
    That script would suggest someone playing a joke on you, by making your computer say "quack" every time you start up. That's not indicative of malware.
    On the other hand, a hidden file as you describe is a common malware trick, though I'm not sure why it would only contain "--purge" - that isn't a complete command, as far as I know, and the purge command isn't likely to be used for malicious purposes anyway.
    Still, you do have some indication that you're using Bitcoin-related apps, and there has been some Bitcoin malware that has appeared recently. See:
    New CoinThief malware discovered
    Note that the post on MacRumors that you refer to in your second post is almost six years old, and references a vulnerability that was closed later in 2008. It's completely irrelevant to any modern system.

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

  • How can main vi detect whether sub-vi closes after opening and running it by user?

    Hi I learned more using the call by reference node function.
    From what I know is that, after opening and running subvi by means of method nodes.
    So after running it, "call by reference" node stays active and there is no flow of data coming out of it till it is closed.
    However what if I do not want to use this "call by reference" node as I have multiple sub-vis to choose. So how does the main program detect that any one of sub-vi is closed by user?
     regards,
    Clement

    Hi Clement,
    first: you may run the vi with the option "wait until completion" set to false, the call-by-reference node will return promptly.
    2nd:
    There are many options to signal the completion of the subvi to the main vi: globals (easiest, but may lead to race conditions), LV2-style global, queues. You can even check the status of the subvi (running or not) via vi server.

  • Require backup script which deletes the daily backups after weekly backup

    Hi,
    I am new to Oracle administration. I require a backup script which will delete the daily backups (incremental) after weekly backup is taken (full database backup).
    Currently I use Oracle 10g for one of my production server.
    My backup strategy is given below.
    I would like to take full database backup weekly(online). To be precise, on Saturday.
    I need to have daily incremental backup and they should get deleted on Saturday after the weekly full database backup is taken.
    Also I would like to keep 4 weeks full backups. After that one by one we need to delete the backup.
    For example, if I have 4 weeks fullbackup of February, after taking full backup for first week of March, the backup of first week of February should get deleted.
    Kindly help with your suggestions.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rafnas

    Hi,
    Thank you for pointing to the blog. It was very much useful.
    I was testing the backup strategy using your script. It worked fine for first set of daily backups.
    After weekly backup is taken, the daily backup script fails for taking the backup from next day onwards.
    It gives the following error stack.
    Starting backup at 05-MAR-09
    using channel ORA_DISK_1
    RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
    RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

    RMAN-03002: failure of backup command at 03/05/2009 01:47:55
    ORA-01455: converting column overflows integer datatype
    Could you please let me know why integer datatype comes into picture while taking backup?
    Please advice.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rafnas

  • After update finished-browser will not load on user site

    i upgraded to firefox 4 from 3.6. when the upgrade finished- the browser will not load on one of my user sites. the upgrade froze half way through and the computer restarted on that site. no matter how many times i try to finish the upgrade, it gives me the same results- the browser will not load even though the upgrade window tells me it is finished-every time i try to open the browser window it never comes up

    I googled my problem and found myself at some place with a link
    This was not an Adobe Forum.
    I clicked the link (legitimate) and the update was perfect.
    When I first went to adobe to update , it failed. Gave me some error thing.[ I never update from a popup.]
    Only from the real website. I tried to get help from chat and they referred me to the forum where I guess you found my question.
    I hope this helps someone. All is good now.

  • How do I make a script "Run as administrator" on its own?

    Hello,
    Win 8.1, VB scripts or PowerShell
    Having discovered I previously failed to fully study UAC, I now understand why scripts transferred to a new Win 8.1 machine quit working.  They have to be 'Run As Administrator' on the new machine; then they work as before.  While I'm still
    a little hazy on UAC, but continuing to study, it seems I'm left with a choice.  Please correct my perception of this choice if it's wrong:
    1) I can change my UAC settings (which I actually prefer not to do - I'm a safety guy...)
    2) I must always run my scripts by right clicking to the context menu and clicking "Run As Administrator"
    3) I learn if there is a way for my script to "Run As Administrator" on its own
    Assuming my choices above are correct, I would like to focus on choice 3.
    I've done some amount of research, but I'm not sure any of the solutions I saw actually accomplish choice 3.  Most of those posts indicate that the individual still had to enter a password or perform some other interaction after the script ran, so I'm
    not sure why the solutions posted were an answer to what was basically the same as my question here.
    Can a script be setup to Run As Administrator without requiring any further user interaction?  I'm wondering if this is actually a self-defeating question, because if a script can be setup as such, then wouldn't it bypass the very purpose
    UAC was put in place, for protection?  Am I thinking incorrectly?
    If it is possible to write the script so it really runs without further interaction, please point me where I might need to study more.
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Alan

    Hi jrv,
    So, I think we've unofficially become friends since you answered my question in .vbs because you know that's where I've been.  I really am trying to transition to .ps1, but thanks for the thought. :-)  I actually did write a test .ps1 using get-vm
    (which is very cool thank you) but wasn't able to execute it other than running a batch file from the context menu selection 'Run As Administrator'.  The following is the operative line I used in the batch file (it doesn't seem like the -Verb runas
    worked as I expected it to):
    powershell -executionpolicy remotesigned -file C:\batchFiles\ps\vmstatus.ps1 -Verb runas
    I am getting a book on Powershell to study.
    But, regarding your line above, I think I applied your guidance correctly.  I created a shortcut with the following line in the target box (I'm assuming this is what you were directing me to do. I also assumed I was supposed to add powershell.exe
    at the beginning of the line you posted above):
    C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
    start-process cscript C:\batchFiles\vmStatus.vbs -Verb RunAs
    Windows seem to add the full path for powershell.exe automatically.  It runs without requiring the context menu selection "Run As Administrator", but it
    still brings up the UAC message box for permission to continue, which is what I was trying to address in my initial post when I was speaking to the possible self-defeating nature of my question to allow
    a script to bypass UAC.
    I'm asking to confirm: having the UAC popup is in fact normal behavior that can't be side stepped unless other steps are taken.  So I guess I need to continue research to understand
    what must be done to allow simple double-clicking of a shortcut to get a seamless execution without actually changing UAC.
    Regarding STscripter's solution, I experienced the same UAC message box, so this post is also in response to that answer.
    Thanks again for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Alan

  • Will scripts run automatically ?

    If I shut down my Mac everynight(I live in a time zone 6 hours ahead of Eastern US time), will the scripts run automatically when I start it up the next morning...or...do I need a special utility application for this ?

    these scripts are not worth worrying about. you should just leave them alone. the OS does a very good job of running them all by itself. and they are all quite useless anyway. many people (apparently yourself included) seem to think that these periodic scripts are important maintenance tools and will make your system run better and faster. nothing can be further from the truth.
    *monthly scripts* :
    1. archive and recycle fax logs. have you used your mac as a fax machine lately?
    2. write accounting information (total uptime of every account) in the monthly.out log.
    That's IT. so unless you use your mac as a fax machine (do you, really?) you don't need to run monthly scripts. EVER.
    *weekly scripts*:
    in snow leopard they do one thing ONLY: rebuild whois database. it's only useful if you are a unix user and actually use the whois terminal command at least on occasion. I'll bet my bottom dollar you never have and never will. then you don't need to run the weekly scripts either. EVER.
    *daily scripts*
    they do several things
    1. clean up the logs from /Library/Logs/CrashReporter which are more than 60 days old. hardly an urgent task. and those logs are really very few unless your system is seriously messed up. you can go a year without deleting any and will collect a few MBs at the most.
    2. delete junk from /tmp directory that's more than 3 days old.
    This is done automatically on every reboot without any periodic scripts. if you don't reboot the computer then daily scripts will run *no matter* the schedule. if you don't sleep the computer at night they'll run at night. if you do sleep the computer at night they will run first thing in the morning when the computer is turned on. again, zero need to reschedule anything.
    3. deletes files older than 7 days from /var/rwho. this is only relevant if you are running a unix network. otherwise there is nothing to delete - EVER.
    4. rotate accounting files. again, those are nonexistent unless you are a unix administrator.
    5. run the terminal command *df -l -h* and print out the output to daily.out. all this command does is list currently mounted hard drives. useless.
    6.print the current network status in daily.out. this is again just reporting not maintenance.
    7. Delete system messages. Once again this is relevant only for multi-user Unix systems.
    8. remove scratch fax files. see my comment above about using your mac as a fax machine.
    9. it writes some other accounting and system status info to daily.out. this is again only reporting and is ONLY actually present on unix networks.
    and that's all, folks.
