[FX.php List] Ignorance is no longer bliss

[Troy Meyers]

I haven't paid a lot of attention about various server errors that people have discussed here, simply because I haven't had that sort of trouble.

As of Monday, FMS9 has been emailing me first a:

FileMaker Server 9.0.3.325 on Mac mini 4 reported the following event:
Wed Jan 07 05:21:50 PST 2009 FMS ERROR wpe1
Some problems were detected in the WPE COMPONENT: COMPONENT IS NOT RESPONDING.


This happens once an hour, roughly on the :20s.

I've never had an error like this (other than when I disabled a component on purpose) and I don't have a clue what started it, but I've had 54 (and counting) since Monday. The current machine configuration has been running fine for many, many months.

When I checked machine with the WPE, I was surprised to find that the hard disk was full. That's a mystery, it has no databases and as far as I know it should't be filling up, unless...I didn't check the size of the access logs, which I just thought of. In any case, I removed unneeded apps, etc., and restarted both it and the FMS database server machine. The WPE now has 3 GB free space after restarting, BUT the errors continue.

I've tried to find a log to see what this error really is, but I don't know where to look, or even if I have FileMaker logging on! I look at the Apache logs all the time, so I'm not ignorant about _that_ ...but I'm clueless here.

Does anyone have any tips on where to look, or if this seems familiar?

Did I say that no one has reported any problems with the site, nor have I seen anything wrong during test-browsing?
