Hi,

Thanks a lot in advance.

Exactly what you said. It starts and works for a while and then it  
stops working.  
No error in the log files!

“How” does it stop? What are the symptoms?

If it’s the old blank screen thing, then this is traced to mysql  
timeouts in my setup. Google around a bit on it.
