I recently logged into my Windows Server 2003 OS Server via Remote Desktop and was met with a message/box saying Why did this computer shutdown. It had a dropdown field for a reason and then empty text fields for Problem ID and Comment.
What steps can I take to figure out what happened?
Server is a fresh install of Win Server 2003
I have a very perplexing problem. Like clockwork, every 7 days I find my Windows 2003 server to be unresponsive. I use remote desktop to login to find that it has unexpectedly shutdown. The even code is 6008 and I researched it through the MS link and it says it can be cause by unplugging the power cord or manually rebooting the server through a switch. Is it possible the UPS at my host has my server on some sort of timer that automatically kills the power once a week? There aren't any scheduled tasks to reboot it, and this is a fresh install as far as I know.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 Server and during this week I had 2/3 unexpected reboots.
It seems like /var/log/messages is emptied after the reboot, so I don't know how to find out information before the reboot. At first I though of power outage, but I do have an UPS and the other servers were OK.
It seems that it happens always near the same time! I check the crontabs, I don't have any crontab near these times.
I check also the $last log, no one reboot the machine.
How can I find out what is happening? Might be any Kernel Panic error?
My site prime357 . org is being unexpectedly, from time to time, re-directed to my host's site DrupalValueHosting.com.
It has now been a few weeks and this problem still remains. I have not set up any purpose re-direction to my host site. My .htaccess file has no reference to my host site.
My host, the other day, suggested that I change my site, temporarily, to prime357.net, whilst he (the host) works on the problem as to why prime357.org is directing to the host site.
Re-direction to my host site is still occurring.
I established that a few hours ago that someone did a whois on prime357 . org hours earlier and the IP resolved to 67.228.128.242 (which is my host's site). I did the same lookup and the IP resolved to 67.228.230.119 (which seemingly, is correct, is my site).
This problem is an intermittent problem and is happening to other customers of DVH.
I can't physically check or make adjustments (at least I think I can't). What solutions or what process would one go through to track down this type of problem. Is this a common mis-configuration type problem though I haven't come across it before.
Today 3 of my shared webhosting servers with them were disconnected.
After investigation in their portal I find out that 3 days ago + 1 hour 3 tickets were created about "your server hosted malware" and now those tickets were auto-processed with 3 servers disconnection in result.
Very strange that I receive "ticket updates" emails today (when disconnection happens) but not recieve "ticket created" emails.
My contact email domain has 2 MXs and widely used and I have no complains for not-delivered emails before.
Currently I'm waiting feedback for my phone call and answers in those tickets asking them to connect back my servers for me to take necessary steps.
But this is very strange approach - to auto-disconnect 3 servers at once only because I didn't receive their 1 email per ticket.

CentOS - I had php4 running and php5 as cgi but then decided I wanted to have it the other way around i.e. run php5 standard and php4 as cgi.
php5 is now running fine but php4 bombed with this error:
Code:
Unexpected character in input: '?' (ASCII=15) state=1 in /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/php4
I fixed it by doing the following:
EDIT php.ini file:
Normally in /usr/local/php4/lib/php.ini
Under
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
UNCOMMENT this line
Code:
;cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
(i.e. remove the ";" infront)
and
CHANGE 0 to 1:
Code:
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
This is for Linux and must be done with root via SSH
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
i add the php5 and set php4 as cgi from whm,
after finisging,
it takes errors

Apparently, there are two files on my website that are being hit quite a bit, and causing the server to slow down. (I admit, its a busy site, and the files are very big).
The files aren't new there, and neither is the traffic, but the plug was pulled with no warning what so ever, and no offer of remediation on their part beyond refunding the remaining portion of my contract (I would hope so too!).
I can understand that they may not be able to continue to host my site due to the volume of traffic it generates, but they really could have handled this much better.
I am a SolarVPS customer. So far, I have been really happy with their service - setup was very smooth, I had to contact support a couple of times at the start and they were really quick, and otherwise I've had simply no problems.
I was alerted yesterday to the fact that my site was down. I immediately logged into the box, and found that Apache and MySQL had stalled. I restarted them, and everything was ok. So then I started to look into the problem.
Then I noticed this in my logs:
Sep 3 23:07:26 myvps shutdown[26281]: shutting down for system halt
Sep 3 23:08:41 myvps exiting on signal 15
Sep 4 03:14:22 myvps syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart.
It seems that my VPS was shut down for 4 hours and then brought back up. My Apache and MySQL didn't come back up properly after the restart (ok, my fault here, a configuration issue), so I was down for about 17 hours.
Anyway, I didn't do this shutdown, and I don't think my box was hacked and someone else did it, because even if they did, by my reasoning, it wouldn't have been down for 4 hours.
So I wrote an email to SolarVPS. They got back to me really quickly, asking me to send my server ip's and my root password (I had initially only sent my customer number). I was not really happy sending my root password over email to them, so I just sent them the server IP's.
I then got an email back saying that it was standard procedure to send my root password to the over email, and that it was secure because their helpdesk is secure. I don't know how they are securing the email connection from me to their helpdesk though (of course, it isn't secure, because email is sent in plain text), so I still haven't sent them this. I don't need them to log into my server anyway, I can see that it went down, I just wanted to know if they had brought the machine down for a reason. The whole root password over email thing is not the problem anyway.
What concerned me is the rest of their response.
They told me that they had not brought the machine down on purpose. I sent them the log lines I pasted above, and their response was:
- shows that your VPS has been shut down, just like the owner of the VPS would have shut it down using "halt" command. This issue appears when the VPS is overloaded (RAM is almost 100% used, and CPU is upto 90-100%), and in this case Virtouzzo shuts the VPS down in order to avoid resources abuse on the entire node and not to affect the other VPS's.
This is the part that concerns me. As I understood it, the Virtualization software is there to keep you in a box, and restrict the amount of resources that a person can take up so it doesn't affect others. If my server is under heavy load, I can understand if it becomes slow, but I don't find it acceptable for it to be shut down for 4 hours!
Is this usual policy for VPS's? If this is the case, I guess I'm going to have to look for dedicated, because this is not acceptable to me. Although my server is rarely under high load, I don't want to have to worry that it might disappear for hours if it is.
It would be great to hear some opinions from people with more experience in this area than me. If true, this is definitely something people should mention as a disadvantage to VPS's.
My server just hang and whole hard drive was turn to read-only mode.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Upon a shutdown or reboot, the system shuts down sw-collectd. Further along, it will end wdcollect and the following will occur:
init: psa-wdcollect main process (pid) killed by KILL signal
init: psa-wdcollect main process ended, respawning
wdcollect[pid]: Language en-US is used for sending e-mail messages.
wdcollect[pid]: Failed to connect to database server during the startup. New attempts will be made if needed.
wdcollect[pid]: Server started
I believe this is preventing the un-mounting of drives which in the end freezes the shutdown process on:
Please stand by while rebooting the system...
After this occurs, I have to force the VM off and then boot again.
I have tried the following:[URL] .....
