Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)

This weekend we had an odd occurrence where many of our servers
stopped responding. SSH wouldn't connect, and when you physicall went
to the console for that server you were presented with this:

bash ~#

None of the commands worked. The first server I found like this, I
tried to reboot and it gave me a grub 15 error. Our Apache webserver
is having the same issues, and my feeling is that once we reboot, it
will give me the same error. For right now, it is running, we just
can't get in to make any changes. Our backup server is in the same
shape, so we can't pull from the backup.

The question I have, is what are the options for pulling any files or
configurations off that machine? It is still running, we just can't
get into it. None of the sites we host are particularly advanced, so
we could probably just go to each site in a webbrowser and save each
page. That would at least save the website data for us. I didn't know
if anyone know of any tools or scripts that could crawler a website
and download all the data.

If you just want to trawl all the pages on the site and download them all
then you could try 'wget'

I would power off, remove the HDD and put it into another machine (if
possible). If the server is still running then the chance of physical HDD
damage is probably pretty low.

It sounds to me like you had a brown out or some sort of power
fluctuation and perhaps have a borked file. Usually the error 15 is
caused when the boot loader can not find and/or read the vmlinuz file in
the /boot directory
