please help!!!! (server crashed)

[matt <ma...@lghtspd.com>]

Hi,

  I need help, I am setting up a web database and here's what i'm using

   OS: FreeBSD
   Webserver : Apache 1.3
   Database : MySQL
   Modules : mod_perl
   PerlModules: apache:DBI apache:registry apache:eperl

   I nearly had the database completely up and I was testing it,  but then I
   did a submit to an iphtml file, which just hung there.  I telneted to the
server and it was hanging to.  I went over to the actuall server and it was
doing an automatic reboot.  the server froze in reboot mode and the screen
was showing numerous page faults.

could anyone give me any reason why this would happen?

a big thanks to any reply

Is your hardware veteran at all? I.e. how long has it been in use?
Perhaps you have a memory issue or something that FreeBSD is unhappy
about? What release of FreeBSD?
