often when i access the mythweb by opening the url of the mysettopbox, the system hangs up. it isn't possible to access the machine anymore over the network. not by web-access or by ssh.

does anyone have seen this problems, too ?
any idea where to search ?

although sometimes the system hangs, when zapping to another dvb-channel. but than i can press ALT+STRG+Backspace to relogon andeverthing works fine again.

Thats not quite enough info man. A good place to start is your messages files.

you mean /var/log/messages ? ok i'll have a look later when i am at home again.

this are the last messages...

Nothing useful there. Try looking at /var/log/apache/error.log and the like.

Given that DB error you're going to want to look at the mysql logs too...

here the mysql logs

050118 08:32:38 Error at /etc/rc5.d/S20mysql\n^G/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to
server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'

exists!
050118 08:32:38 mysqld started

what does it mean ? didn't look good

Odd issue... What is hardware setup?

Perhaps removing the PCI nice and trying the onboard...
