In 18.1: Twice now in the span of 24 hours, mythweb has mysteriously
stopped talking to the backend. If I click on a link, my Firefox
cursor spins for a few seconds, and then stops spinning, and nothing
changes. No error, no timeout, just a no-op. Restarting the browser
has no effect, but restarting the backend fixed it---the first time.
Restarting it just now didn't, however, and since the backend is about
to start recording something, I can't try, say, rebooting the entire
machine for a while.
I have verbose logging turn on for the backend, but I don't really
know whether I should be searching for any string in particular, and
perusing its output doesn't seem to have anything jump out at me.
Mythfrontend (on a different machine from the backend) has no
problems. It's just mythweb (and my browser is on yet a third
machine that has no trouble talking to anything else).
Suggestions? Things to look for? Something to try later in the day
when I can restart/reboot the backend?
I just restarted the backend. Mythweb won't get data from it at all.
The frontend still has no problems. From a random machine (the
frontend one, in this case), "wget -d http://mb/mythweb/program_listing.php"
causes wget to say "HTTP request sent, awaiting response... No data received."
as many times as I let it retry until I kill it. All links seem
to return the same null data.
Mythweb was working just fine until a day or so ago. I haven't
changed anything about the machine configuration; I hadn't even booted
it or even restarted the backend until I noticed this problem crop up.
The disks are not full. I've restarted my browser numerous times. I
have no idea where (if any) there might be debugging information logged.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get this debugged?
