Just a quick note:

Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.2.6-2 on Debian fails to shutdown properly on one of my servers

apache2ctl stop or /etc/init.d/apache2 stop or equivalents would result in “waiting…………….” until a timeout and then the new process is launched anyway which fails because the port is already in use, apache2 never finished shutting down properly

Not sure exactly what the problem is, but downgrading to PHP 5.2.6-0.dotdeb.1 via DotDeb mirrors solved the issue

Hopefully it will be fixed in the next version/patch

I thought I was getting a lot of DenyHosts emails recently and the statistics page on the DenyHosts website seems to agree with me!

I wonder what’s caused this sudden surge in attacks
