I have a server running SUSE. dual quad core chips, 16 gigs of RAM.
It's a webserver only running Apache.
We have been having a problem the past few days where page loads take forever yet CPU load and RAM load are very, very low.
I've noticed when it happens when viewing HTOP that TASKS jump from about 350 average to 1000 average. Pages won't start loading until this number drops.
I see no errors in error_log or messages however restarting Apache seems to fix the issue?
I've tried messing around with KEEPALIVE settings with no help.
Any clues on where to start? Pretty lost on this one becuase I see no errors and the load both CPU and RAM are low.
Im using apache2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04. Im trying to password protect a page using htacces and/or the directory command.
Basically no matter what method I use to try and password the index page it doesnt work. I can protect pages and dir's below, but not in the root www of a vhost.
basically:
/home/cackles/mysite with index.html and .htaccess will allow index.html to load and wont prompt for a pass until the page is refreshed.
/home/cackles/mysite/subdir will prompt for a pass before it goes any further.
I purged and started from scratch again last night and for nothing, it would seem, well I learned/refreshed a few things so it wasnt a complete bust ... just 7hrs
I was wondering about a specific VPS package I was considering. I have around 80~90 sites (and therefore accounts) that I need a nice place to call home, but I am wondering if maybe I would be asking too much of this VPS package:
40GB Disk Space 1000GB Transfer P4 3.2GHz 800MHz Front Side Bus 1GB Guaranteed RAM | 2GB Burst RAM CentOS 4 50% of CPU Guaranteed | Burst to...I don't remember.
All of the sites I would be hosting easily take up less than 100MB of space each. The most any of them use is 2-5GB of transfer. I know these levels are no where near my allotted resources, but do you think that serving 80-90 accounts like this is too much server load? There will only be 2 VPS' on each server, guaranteed.
Anyone with experience with a VPS and a decent set of accounts/domains, please let me know what you think.
I have a problem with my server. I am trying to make a subdomain, and it isn't working. I create it like how in all tutorials says here( click here ) . I completed all fields, but when i try to open the subdomain in a browser page, it's telling me, page not found / page doesn't exist. I have a dedicated server on window server 2008 for my website with a dedicated IP.
I have a shared host with them for a few months which the disk usage for home/backup is usually around 85-95%. Right now I am experiencing very slow download speed. What about yours?
Server Load 2.92 (8 cpus) Memory Used 42.6 % Swap Used 0.01 % Disk /dev/sdc1 (/home) 91 % Disk /dev/sdd1 (/backup) 90 % Disk /dev/sde1 (/backup/cpbackup/weekly) 43 % Disk /dev/ram0 (/ramdisk) 24 % Disk /dev/sdb1 (/) 22 %
I have a Quad Core Xeon server with 2 GB RAM. The server has some high traffic websites & at peak hours (4-5 hrs a day) the server load remains 10.0 to 50.0.
The sites on the server load very slow at these times. Here's the top result during heavy load
I normally don't like too bother others with my problems but this time It seems I have no choice since I spent the whole afternoon trying to find out what the problem was and couldn't solve it "entirely".
Here's some hardware info: Processor Information Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3050 @ 2.13GHz Processor #1 speed: 2133.418 MHz Processor #1 cache size: 2048 KB

Running Fedora Core 5 and working for over half year with almost no major problems, but today something totally weird just happened...
After waking up I logged to the server and realized how slow it was, I went to see more about that and for my surprise the loading was around 8 so I went to the mail queue to see if there were a few thousand mails, there were 16 mails... So I went to the see CPU % processes at WHM and I was stunted to see around 30 processes allegedly using over 11500% of the CPU or more!
My first thought was that cPanel smoked something before releasing a last update and I didn't realized it immediately so I downgraded from Release to Stable. Nothing happened and I lost my time with this overheated overloaded and over-everything and I didn't changed any configuration.
I changed many old configs that... I don't know, might crashed with something that might changed... I was trying and looking for anything.
The load was getting up instead of down, it went up to around 60.
The final conclusion is that whenever I turn the MySQL on I got overwhelming loads otherwise the other services "only" give me around 1.5 of load but still very unstable.
I'm getting a little tired so my explanation may be a little confusing, sorry about that.
Anybody knows what this is? Did this ever happened to you? Extremely high loads without an obvious reason? If anyone could help me I would be thankful for that, I'm getting kind of desperate.
We are having a problem with our Linux dedicated server. At time we are getting high server loads witch is causing the server to go down and reboot. This problem has been going on for over a month now and still liquid web can not tell me what is the cause of the high loads. We have upgraded our RAM to 2 GB. This look to fix the problem for the first week but now we are back to having high loads and downtime.
I'm not a IT person so do not know how to find the problem. Can anyone tell me what I can do the locate the problem. I do know how to access and do some things in the root but do not know enough to find and fix this issue.
Two of my VPS's with a company are now showing very high memory loads, even after a reboot, both server are located on different nodes and they both shot up to high ram loads at the same time today(9amGMT) ....
has anyone else noticed an unusually high load occurring from 9 till 11 EEST time on their servers?
I've been getting high loads everyday this week at exactly these times.
I'm thinking that this is a crawler/bot that is causing the loads, i've already installed dos deflate and there hasn't been more than 100 connections from the same ip, so I'm ruling out any DOS attack ... besides, what kind of attack only takes place for 2 hours a day at exactly the same time?
I'm on a cpanel system and would like to know which logs to take a look at to determine the cause.
I currently have a vps server from GIGEServers, running at 512mb of dedicated and 1024mb spike it seems like apache is using alot of resources, does anyone know of a less hog, or tips on tweaking it, and the same for mysql server any tips on tweaking.
its 2am night here, and my sites are down....now there is no way i have too much traffic at midnight, also all my websites are new !
this is happening consistently since today morning and im getting no support apart from jargon filled replies from customer care
how do i tweak apache settings and what settings do i make to avoid this ?
im wondering what will happen after few months when my websites actually have good traffic coming in ?
We have checked your server. Please see the load average and process list given below:
The value 4.42 was the CPU load average at the time. A normal load should be below 1.00. I could see that Apache service is causing high load in your server. So you can tweak Apache in order to reduce the CPU load. Please check and let us know if you need any further assistance.

Right now my stats system only shows from what website traffic is coming. I have google analytics aswell, and with all its functions, it does not tell me from exactly what webpage traffic is coming, and to what webpage the traffic is coming to.
So, let say someone is sending me traffic from www.reffererxxx.com/cool_video.html to www.mysite.com/super_cool_video.html
My statistics would only show that www.reffererxxx.com is sending traffic to www.mysite.com
Is there a way(a script/service/program) to find out exactly from what webpage the traffic is coming, and to what webpage of mine the traffic is going to? (I do not have server logs / webalizer / awstats as my server cannot handle the log processing due to high server loads)
We just upgraded to VBulletin 3.6.5, and are experiencing strange behavior. My forums are on a dedicated server, 27,000 users.
We'll be running along fine with loads of .5-2.00, etc. Then suddenly, the loads start climbing to 50, 70, 85+. We've been trying to figure out why. We even went on a different (much more robust) server, still the same result. This only started happening after the upgrade. Restarting the server corrects the problem, but only until it happens again. It can happen at anytime - during peak or off peak. The server may run for an hour or two until this happens, or it can happen 10 minutes after a restart.
Late last night when loads were normal we benched the server hard, and it ran just fine. We just can't figure out where this load spike is coming from.

Signed up and paid the first month for a 'Linux Entry' + 1 GB mySQL around 4:45PM today. It's now 11:21PM and I have not heard anything or received any Emails for remote access. Does it usually take this long?
Reading thru this site they seemed to be one of the best if your on a $30/month budget.
Maybe setting up the Linux stuff takes longer for them than Windows?
How long does it normally take to get a shared account setup with a hosting provider? I am now in my 5th day and still have not had the account setup. I have made my DNS changes and I just keep getting email responses that it is coming. Should I be worried or is a week the normal response time in a shared environment?
I recently read around here and people had their VPS setup within 5 minutes in some cases. I've ordered a VPS from VirPus and I'm not sure how long it usually takes to setup. I'm nearing the 24 hour mark so I'm not sure. How long on average is an acceptable waiting time? or how long would you say it should take?
