Greetings,
I'm unfortunately having problems with segfaults on my server. The server runs CentOS, with python version 2.4.3. After installing & setting up Galaxy, there have been an increasing number of segfaults thrown by multiple processes. Originally there were 2 distinct tools (which were run by Galaxy) that had thrown segfaults, *and* Galaxy's own python process was throwing segfaults as well. This is happening with increasing frequency. Most recently python is throwing the segfault (and galaxy dies) before we can even run any tools. Syslog eg: May 18 13:29:12 florence kernel: python[10657]: segfault at 00002aab33ff1000 rip 00000033a427bf0b rsp 000000004942ac38 error 6
Notes: 1) We ran a full spectrum of hardware diagnostics which found no problems. 2) This morning while in the process of troubleshooting, I rebooted the server. Galaxy started as a service, and *threw another segfault shortly after instantiating* - long before anyone could have interacted with the server. This leads me to believe the problem is python related.
I plan to upgrade python, possibly go through some core dumps, etc. However before going any further, I wanted to see if any had experience with a similar problem. Any information is appreciated.
Thanks very much, Chris Zaleski CSHL
