Let = me provide some input into the crashing problem.  Much of the info = below may have nothing to do with it, but if there is a common setting = on servers that are failing, it may give us something to go = on.

We have two PPC G4 XServes running = WebDNA version 6.0 on OSX Server.

One = server, lets call it server A, never crashes.  Server B, on the = other hand, crashes once every 2 or so days.  I wrote a script that = checks to see if webdna is running and if not restarts it, but even that = craps out and requires a server restart to get back to normal. =  Here are the specs on the two = servers.

Server A (good)= Server B (bad)

MacOS X Server = 10.4.10= MacOS X Server 10.4.9
Dual 1ghz G4= Dual 1.33ghz G4
1 GB Ram= 2 GB Ram
Apache/1.3.33= Apache/1.3.33
PHP/4.4.4= PHP/5.1.4

WebDNA = Specific settings that differ

Max Found Items: = 300= Max Found Items: 6000
Check for Template mod: 60 = sec= Check for Template mod: 5 sec
Cache Templates ON= Cache Templates OFF

OSX Server Settings = that differ
Firewall
Port 25 open= Port 25 closed
Password server ports = closed= Password server ports open
Port 110 open= Port 110 closed
WINS port open= WINS port closed
NETBIOS port open= NETBIOS port closed
Port 143 open= Port 143 closed
NFS port open= NFS port = closed


Traffic on Server A is = about 100 times the traffic on server B, so I don't think it's related = to traffic.

Server A has about 10 open = databases on average at any given time.  
Server B has = about 30 open databases on average at any given = time.

Like everyone else posting, this issue = only started a few months ago....not in relation to any updates or site = alterations.

I am going to change settings on = server B to match server A exactly to see if there is any difference. =  I'll let everyone know if there is any = change.
