My client had a IT company build a Redhat linux server for their web site. I manage the server they built including installation of all software to run the website (PHP, MySQL, and APache).
Right now this server only has Apache running on the box. The server is not in production yet so no users are hitting it. When the servers boots up I can access it with SSH and webmin without a problem. But if the session remains idle for more than an hour, its as if someone shut the machine down. I cannot even ping the machine.
But if I keep trying to hit the machine with SSH - I have to go through 3 'operation timed out's before I can get back in.
Is there some type of sleep function I'm missing somewhere- or a session time out setting somewhere on the server I can turn off.
This is a web server so it needs to be accessible at all times. I am not aware of a sleep function or a session time out setting for ssh. Any insights?
