After that we uninstall both of them and installed XAMPP. It comes with Apache, PHP and MySQL preconfigured to work together. Since then we had no problems. :) I googled but couldn't find any such package with lighttpd and php. Well it seems blender admins are goin to have a hard time debugging it. Let us know when and how did u resolve it. This is could be a valuable info for us.

The OS is stable but the webserver dies at night. Our webserver is powered by a few hundred trained hamsters! :)

I don't know what u meant by that but even then lol . :D Jokes apart..I tried pinging the server when it was down and found it to be responding. So does ur machine really shuts down or just the web service (the http service) trips off? The IP of server is 194.109.217.140. Am I right?

Jokes apart..I tried pinging the server when it was down and found it to be responding. So does ur machine really shuts down or just the web service (the http service) trips off? The IP of server is 194.109.217.140. Am I right?

Right now it goes offline at 9:30 EST, (6:30pm in California) and stays down during all our productive play time (still down, now 10:50). Thanks. I dont know why (incremental) backups would take so long. (I have been spending evenings writing on wiki, but now my time is cut short, and I fear for lots of USA users who cannot use the wiki, leading to BA overload.)
