==== Dining Out ====

Went for a nice meal from work at the [[http://www.thebaytreerestaurant.co.uk/|Bay Tree Restaurant]] in Cheadle with our colleagues
from [[http://www.lsil.com/|LSI Logic]].

==== Web Server Outage ====

Made a tweak to the web server configuration but it failed to restart. The error log said:
{{{
[Wed Jul 12 18:52:49 2006] [notice] mod_python: Creating 4 session mutexes based on 256 max processes and 0 max threads.
[Wed Jul 12 18:52:50 2006] [emerg] (28)No space left on device: Couldn't create accept lock (/etc/httpd/logs/accept.lock.7109) (5)}}}
I had no full partitions, nor were there any SELinux issues, which I thought were the most likely reasons for this problem.
Fortunately google came to the rescue, with a search on the error message turning up http://www.webpipe.net/howto/Apache_accept_lock_fix''''''.
The output of `ipcs -s` with `httpd` stopped was a big, long list, all owned by `apache`.
So the fix was to kill them all:
{{{
for semid in `ipcs -s | grep apache | cut -f2 -d" "`; do ipcrm -s $semid; done
}}}
After doing this, `httpd` started up without issues.
