Some sudden server downtime, sorry about that

Pekka · 6th of July 2003 (Sun)

One log file grew out of proportion (over 20GB) and halted Apache. Problem was not very simple to find, as it was due Tomcat (a program which is not even in use but logs everything anyway - wonder of unix!). Well, now it is fixed so this will not happen again.

I heard of that but I figured as I have a strong firewall on this server it would be quite safe to keep it up.

Did they manage to destroy any websites?
