[Deploying Sakai] Can't log in with clustering

[Mike De Simone]

Jeremy,

I've seen the errors you're describing: ajp_ilink_receive() and the like.
It was related to the newer/newest version of CentOS and its network kernel
driver combined with the firmware version of the NICs on the server.  What
version & kernel of RHEL are you using and what brand of NIC do you have +
its firmware version.  We had problems with Broadcom NICs but were able to
overcome them by updating the firmware & network driver code and modifying
some system setting related to the NIC (can't exactly recall it at the
moment).
