Please note that the backend and the frontend are on two different
machines, and I have to restart only the backend. I get the problem
running the frontend on the same machine of the backend too.
I had the problem on a old backend machine, and the new server doesn't
have any problem, so I exclude any memory or hardware problem.

Today I had this problem when the frontend was running, so I don't
have to leave the frontend closed to get the problem.

Some days ago, another person told me this:

But I don't understand where I have to make this modifications...

Could you help me, please?

Bye!
