[users@httpd] database expires and kills website
Hello,
A newbie question:
I have a website running with an expiry date set for 1 week in the database file. Once the .db file expires the site goes offline. I then have increment the serial number, to grep for "named" and -HUP the process to bring the site online again.
All of my other sites use the same configuration of .conf and .db files and stay online, except this particular URL. As a matter of fact, I copied a successful .conf and .db file and edited them to create them. The other sites have a .db expiry of 1 week also.
Where would you suggest I begin to look for the error or do you have any ideas what could be the cause of this behaviour.
I am running Apache 1.3.41 on OSX 10.4.11
Thank you
Norman

That is a BIND zone file. BIND has nothing to do with apache. See here
for support for BIND:
http://www.isc.org/software/bind
FYI apache 1.3 is considered seriously old. You should investigate
moving to apache 2.0 or 2.2 immediately.
Cheers
Tom

Hello,
I thought it was all part and parcel of the Apache configuration. The relevant part of the .db file looks like this:
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 14400 ; 4 hours
e4edmonton.com IN SOA ns1.normanfournier.com. postmaster.e4edmonton.com. (
2010020305 ; serial
21600 ; refresh (6 hours)
900 ; retry (15 minutes)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
43200 ; minimum (12 hours)
)
NS ns1.normanfournier.com.
NS ns2.normanfournier.com.
--snip--
All of the website I host use this same type of file but they stay permanently online.
Are there problems with the version of Apache I am using? I would hate to break it by upgrading. I have had bad experiences after upgrading software and applications that will not run on a later version, so I am a little gun shy.

I have no idea what you mean with an expiry date on a database file.
Could you be more specific? Apache itself does not use db files. Some
website you have installed might, but you are not telling us enough...

Why are you using such an old version of apache?
