Disclaimer - I'm a n00b both to forensics and to PyFlag
I'm using PyFlag 0.87-pre1 on an Ubuntu 8.10 system and playing around with some images.
When I load a relatively small image (couple hundred MB, FAT 16), it loads just fine. When I scan the filesystem limiting it to, say only "Detect SquirrelMail Session" and nothing else, it'll start by saying it has ~900 jobs pending. That will run for a bit and the number will decrease. However, it never actually finishes. It'll get to maybe 300-500 jobs pending and then that number just stays as the screen refreshes over and over again.
I thought maybe it was a timeout issue (even though the screen is refreshing), so I set my timeouts in php.ini to 10 minutes, with no affect whatsoever.
Now, I'm running on somewhat older hardware - a P4/2.53GHz laptop, 2GB RAM, but shouldn't it just take longer? I'm really not sure where to go from here as there are no errors on the console in the background (logging is set to post to stderr - all I see on the console screen are the GET requests that keep repeating).
Any thoughts? Guidance? Sorry if I'm missing any info as again I'm a n00b on this stuffs.
Thanks so much in advance!
