ConfigServer Community Forum

I installed at 22:04 and by 22:57 I have 11 (now 13 by 23:02) restarts - and this is my second server, the first one is also constantly doing this. I thought it was an issue on the old (ancient) server, but this one is new today.

Then I thought it was a warning of brute force attacks, but I don't think it is, the program itself seems to be constantly crashing and restarting. 11 times in 53 minutes and counting.

I am inclined to ask how to disable it, as if what I think is happening, is happening, it is doing more harm than good - not least to my sanity on two servers.

I see there are various posts about this, but they all result in a suggestion to install a later version, which is older than mine.

Ideas please? Or something to read on the subject?

ok, here's why it keeps crashing:

from /var/logs/lfd.log

so here I am writing lines for bad behaviour:

I guess it would be nice for this not to be the default install behaviour.

I hope I have switched it off for now:

Home »Service Configuration »Service Manager

very last item, untick "enabled".

You have the lfd in test mode remove it from test mode set he below to 0

TESTING =


The setting you put you did nothing , you just will have the lfd being stopped and you wont get the emails , the real problem will not be solved
