[aphextwin]

Hi Folks
Been scratching my head on this....any help is appreciated!

Issue:
splunkweb crashes for unknown reason at random times. usually happens when a new login session is initiated

Some background:
Splunk version -4.3 build 115073
OS: Mac OS 10.6 Server
Setup: Windows heavy-forwarder sending to MacOSX indexer. HTTP running only on indexer.

Looks like CherryPy is having trouble when sockets are closed unexpectedly. Thanks for letting us know. If you continue to have this problem I would suggest filing a case with support.
