Description
The server time at dojocampus.org is wrong (from time to time a half hour). A correct server time is important, because the MoinMoin? Wiki shows authors, when and how long a Wiki page is "reserved" for another author.
The best is, to install ntp, in order to synchronize the time with a time server:
- apt-get install ntp
- dpkg-reconfigure ntp
- Open port udp 37 outgoing to connect with the external time server

The server time is wrong, again. Perhaps this is also a source for the problems with the server during the last weeks. Installing ntp should be the common solution for problems like this, as suggested above.

The main problem is that the machine continues to overheat, which i'm sure doesn't help it have a steady clock. Previously when this would happen we would also get slow and were overconfigured with apache processes so we'd step into swap. I somewhat corrected this by switching to fcgi processes and lighttpd, though a problem remains with fcgi for the moin app. Work/investigation is underway for that.
NTPD was already installed, but didn't seem to be running. I started it up, but the time still did not appear to be correct, so I manually updated it with ntpdate. Then I reconfigured the ntp.conf to use the bare min conf from http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers. It is enabled, and time (no pun intended) will tell us if it is working or not.

Thank you for setting up the NTPD.
Overheat doesn't sound good. Seems to be time for changing to another hardware.
