[users@httpd] SharePoint crawler crashes Apache server PC

[Jim Owens <JO...@jsitelecom.com>]

I've been having a problem with my W2K Apache intranet server booting
itself once a day.  The system log said it was doing a SaveDump for a
"bugcheck." 

 

Comparing the system log with the Apache access log, I've found an exact
correlation between the crashes and a long series of hits from a
recently installed  SharePoint server on the intranet. I assume the
SharePoint server is crawling.  For some reason the W2K Apache server
could only take this for about eight minutes before the PC rebooted.

 

Last night, before I discovered this, I'd migrated the Apache server to
another machine running XP. The XP has survived today's SharePoint
crawl, but just in case, is there a way to block the SharePoint server's
access?
