On my website, which is hosted on Godaddy's VPS, I have a tell-a-friend script and a few email forms in which my visitors can contact me. They have all worked perfectly for months on my VPS (and for over a year on shared hosting before that) until a few weeks ago, when I started to notice that mail would not come through unless I rebooted the server. I contacted Godaddy's support, but all they told me was that "mail might me stuck in the queue". I don't know what to do. Should I upgrade my RAM? I think the process that does the mailing is called Apache Mail if that helps.
Just started to have problems sending emails out but no problem receiving.
Seems to be a exim problem.. tried updating it but the problem still exist but everytime I restart exim then it works for a few hours before the problem comes back.
Today i just noticed i cannot login to my Direct admin panel no more all the sudden, but was working fine 24 hrs back.
So i login to root, and hit yum update, but guess what i get : -bash: /usr/bin/yum: Input/output error
And to my surprise i go to /home/user/ to look for sites, and the public_html folder is un-accesible and is all pinkish/orangish with question marks besides them :
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? public_html
^^
Even tmp folder says this : [root@myproxyhost tmp]# ls ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
i noticed this when i try to update da password or change it so i could login to DA :
Is there a reason why yum is failing for me? Its a brand new server!

for the past 4 days i have being having problems with my Apache server. on day one i noticed it was going down irregularly over day 2/3 it got progressively worse by last night httpd would only work after i restarted it then 5minutes later it failed again. now it wont start at all every time i tried restarting from whm it just says 'httpd failed' ive also tried restarting from shell but no joy. ive tried rebuilding apache from whm that hasn't helped either. one error i was getting was 'invalid user name' of a user who i terminated yesturday.
Just got this server setup, getting some smart errors. Here's a copy of the trouble ticket I posted to the host, they said "If you read through the documentation for smartd you will find that from the results you pasted, your hard disk passed every test. We can give you another hard disk if you want but we will have to charge you 3 credits for the reinstall of the operating system." I could be wrong, maybe everything's fine, but the fact that there are unreadable sectors reported has me a little worried.

For some reason BIND keeps failing on my cPanel server every couple of days. There are no error logs in the /var/logs/messages file concerning the crash but when I manually restart bind then it logs messages just fine and I can see them. Does BIND keep any other error logs?
Today it seemed to coincide with a big movement in system memory, here my munin graph:
[url]
I have ran the “fixeverything” script which attempts to correct any errors in the bind config file but it still crashes. I couldn’t see anything wrong with it ayway.
/dev/sda1 is mounted to / on my dedicated server, however, it is 100% full and cPanel is having problems with it. Is there a way I can clean out some files?
Additionally, I cannot SSH into the server since sshd keeps failing. Anyone know what I can do?
I'm sure /dev/sda1 isn't usually mounted to / but who knows.
one of my servers has 2x250gb hard drives in hardware RAID 0 using a 3ware controller, but ive now got the following error message 3 times prior to 3 server crashes, my server supplier beleves it one of the drives failing (i have backups on a non raid drive so rthats fine) but i suspect the controller, whats everyone else think...

The second week of July AmeriHosting moved my VPS to a new server or something and changed my IP addresses. No big deal, except the move failed miserably. My sites were down for a week. Shortly thereafter, email was down also for a week. What had worked on the old VPS did not work reliably on the new VPS. Messages sent to support went unanswered, or were given inadequate responses. They also could not go back to the old VPS which was working acceptably (and had for 2 years); I do not know why. No backup was made or else they could have gone back. That's what I think anyway. On the new VPS they did not have the same version of PHP or PHP modules. This broke some of the sites; and asking them to correct the problems as they were discovered took several days up to a week. Now the first week of September, and problems persist. This time I cannot issue a backup in Virtuozzo. This has been going on for 2 weeks. I get a response every couple of days about this is being looked into and they will respond, but no one ever does.
I've been told on several occasions the past week that they were going to move me to a new VPS but keep my IP addresses; this has not yet happened and it has been a week.
Twice I was told it would take only a few minutes to do this and it would be done that day. It has not yet been done. To add to the matter, I prepaid for a year, and I have 6 months hosting left with them. So I feel pretty damn screwed. My largest hosting customer has just moved sites from my service to another service this past week, so I am clearly losing revenue from this ordeal. Phone calls have gone unanswered (during the freakin' day!). Messages to billing and support get absolutely no response. Tonight I left a message that I wanted the name of the president or owner and his phone number so that I might enlighten him about the problems his customers are having and the dire straits his business is in.
At one time I would have recommended AmeriHosting.
Not now. Not ever. Don't even consider AmeriHosting. They'll **** you good at some point and harm YOUR business and YOUR CUSTOMERS' businesses, too.
I have been using my Server for a decent while, All of a sudden of the last month it has decided that it wants to play a game.
"Spamd" keeps failing and automagically restarts.
It restarts and works, But then Fails once again a few hours later. One morning I woke up to 7 error messages with the same service. By Restarting Exim it resolves the issue but it happens hours later. I have tried mostly of what I can think of.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on this issue and how it can be resolved?
I using PSM (for MGT) & Cyberwurx (hosting) and we're having a heck of time getting our server up and running.
HISTORY: Our server ran fine for years. Cyberswurx was very responsive and PSM solved every issue. Last week, a hacker accessed our server through an "calender" script and was able to deface the index.html pages of all the accounts and setup redirects.
We had Cyberwurx reinstall WHM/CPANEL and had the server cleaned of all corrupt files. PSM restored all the accounts on WHM.
PROBLEM:
1. CPSRVD is constantly failing. 2. When we restart MYSQL server, the server become overloaded. 3. Then it goes offline.
Cyberwurx will reboot the server. Then we start over again...
Platinum Server Mgt has worked on this since last Wed. We are constantly going back and forth between PSM & Cyberwurx.
I have a server with a Dell Perc4e Hardware RAID Controller and 2 Maxtor Atlas 15K2 U320 SCSI. I´m currently having a problem with one of the HD´s. For the second time in about 2 - 3 months, it failed. I reconsctruct the array and everything goes online and healthy. Does this mean this specific HD may not be in the best condition? Shouldn´t it fail and never go back online again, in this case? Is there any chance that the problem is the SCSI cable (i´m not using hot swap cradle, but cable + adapter)?

And they're still arriving to my inbox. When you look at the time stamps, it's failing every 9 minutes. I looked in the crontab and there is nothing running every 9 minutes. Not even close. But there's something happening every 9 minutes. Where do I look?
I run a filehosting site actually and there are alot of people downloading at the same time which i think the server goes down and then httpd restarts itself and all the people downloading the files, their files get currupted.
I'm facing some odd issues with 2 servers located in the same datacenter.
One server is the HTTP server, and every 5 minutes it works, then for 5 minutes Server One and Server Two (MySQL) hate each other and refuse to talk to each other. Not only can neither not connect to each others MySQL, but also neither can ping each other.
The odd thing is, Server Three can however connect to the Server Two MySQL with no problems during this period. It seems to be just the communication between Server One and Server Two that keeps getting halted.
I've tried "service iptables stop" to disable the firewall, and changing SELinux to disabled, but neither have fixed it.
we use 3Ware's 8006-2LP sata raid controller in each of our servers for RAID1. Our servers are all Supermicro boxes with hot-swap driver carriers (ie. the 2 raided drives are in them)
One of the drives appears to be starting to crap itself as smartd is reporting issues (although tw_cli c0 shows the raid to be OK) incl. multi zone errors.
Anyway, I'd like to replace the failing drive before it becomes a real issue so i've bought a replacement (74gb raptor, just like the original) drive.
Now I've never had to replace a failing drive in any of our servers before and I used to think it would be a simple matter of simply popping out the failing drive's carrier, put the new drive in the carrier and stick it back in the server... and the raid controller would do the rest.
Yes a little naive I know but i've never had to do it before so never paid much attention .. Anyway, I've just read and re-read the 3ware docs for my controller and their instructions are VERY VAGUE ... however I do get the feeling that the process is move involved ie. I need to tell the controller (via cli or 3dm) to first 'remove' the failing drive from the raid ..and then add a new drive and then rebuild
However there is one catch .. 3dmd/3dm2 has NEVER worked on our (centos 4) servers - 3dmd crashes regularly and 3dm2 never worked. So yes I am stuck with the 3ware cli ... which I don't mind as long as someone can tell me the sequency of commands I need to issue
As this point I'm thinking what I need to do via cli is
1) tell raid controlloer to remove the failing drive on port 0
2) eject the drive carrier with the drive in question
3) insert new drive in carrier and re-insert into server
4) using tw_cli tell the controller to add the new drive to the array and to rebuild the array
Am I anywhere close to being correct? I'm sure there are some of you out there who've done this countless times before with the 3ware controllers and hotswap drive carriers ..
