1.5.29.What should I do if the Virtuoso Server is not responding to HTTP requests?

Assume the Virtuoso server is not responding to HTTP requests although SQL connection is working. In order to determine what activity is being performed that might account for this:

  1. Check the status:

    SQL> status('');
    REPORT
    VARCHAR

  2. Connect with the PL debugger and see what is running currently using the info threads call:

    $ isql 1111 dba <password> -D
    DEBUG> info threads
    
  3. This should return the current code being executed by the Sever.

  4. Run txn_killall() to kill any pending transactions which may enable the server to start responding to HTTP requests again:

    
    SQL> txn_killall();
    
    Done. -- 866 msec.
