Bonjour crash after 2 minutes

[somm15]

All the server is runing well but after 3 minutes I no longer can
see the share on iTunes.

My server is a linux machine (SlackWare)
My client is a macosx machine

In the web interface the bonjour is written to be down
and there is no special message in the debug output…

The bonjour down on the web page is a bug.

If it’s the case that you can start and stop the server and it re-appears in iTunes, but then goes away whenever you start iTunes again, or after a while, then it’s almost always a firewall issue.

Make sure you can receive multicast. You’ll see dns-sd queries as packets to 224.0.0.251 on port 5353.

Double check that it isn’t firewalled. My guess would be that it is.

Thank you for you answer.
I’ll check on the server that those packets
are not blocked.
