I did a yum update on my VPS and now I can't connect SSH.
Putty gives me the error message "Network error:Connection refused.
My VPS is running fine otherwise.
I opened a support ticket and got this reply.
"Not sure exactly what happened, but something you did has corrupted your system, I cannot even login to it from our node. I think the only thing you can do now is rebuild your system."
i am facing slight problem with one of my VPSes. It had happened earlier also but had got resolved automatically.
Please see this screenshot: [url]
i know that the server load is not that great to cause this much SWAP usage. i think this is because of the processes not getting killed.
UPDATE: here is the screenshot of my other server with the same provider. which is not really overloaded but i think is facing the same problem of processes not getting killed [url]
I want to allow user to run few processes on machine (debian etch).
I configurated limits at /etc/security/limits.conf for group "shell".
When I attached user to group shell, limits work well, but he still can look everywhere on system. (he can do cat /home/somefile.txt, even owned by root).
Is there any method, software to limit user to acces only their home directories?
I'd like to put up here a base question which I hope some will have the goodwill to answer even though it might touch some business secrecies.
We're a gameserver hoster since around ten years, running also vserver products since over two years now. Renting a few Racks in Europe since some time we're a bit in a question mark how rootserver companies deal with the initial hardware costs for every new customer.
Rackspace and today specially power costs are huge cash eaters here in Europe. Dedicated Rootservers are huge space & power consumers per customer ratio. The initial Hw costs for every new rootserver customer might be covered after 4-6 months (if the machine has to be bought newly), adding the bandwidth and power costs it might take up to 8-9 months until a benefit might come in.
Is this the business normality in the rootserver market (waiting 9 months for any benefit, or counting only on the benefit of the 2nd customer using the older Hw), or are the better ways to handle those "initial" costs or keep them affordably low?

My hosting company is telling me that I have getting frozen processes on my VPS that is causing apache to stop responding.
My VPS is CentOS, with 512 megs of memory and my website is a Vbulletin forum. I have several add-ons installed on vbulletin, and if one of those are causing the problem, how do I figure it out?
When http stops responding, I can access the server with putty on ssh. Running the "top" command, it shows that I still have 100+ megs of memory free and the processor is barely being used.
This has happened twice in just 2 - 3 days. This morning, I asked my hosting company what can be causing this, but no answer so far.
CentOS 4.5 final Apache 2.0.59 php 4.3.11 MySQL 4.1.20
I have a user who has been importing large sql databases and this causes the cpu to run at 80% - 90% this in turn causes high loads and sometimes causing the server to crash.
Is there a way to automatically limit or control how much the process can use or stop the process to allow the server to recover.
Just trying to put some sort of safe guard in place

I'm having a problem connecting to SSH/Shell on my server. I get the Login Prompt, but when i enter the User/Pass i just get "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.6.1p2", everything under that is blank.
I've restarted the SSH Server and made sure the account i was using was set to use Normal Shell (not jailed). What could be the problem?
I was wondering if it were possible to chmod a directory that is set to a low number to 777 using a shell or command and if so can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to go about doing so ??? I am trying to learn a little and i pefer using my browser to edit files rather then a ftp client.
I was just wondering if anyone is aware of Linux VPS or shell account providers with servers that are physically located in Pennsylvania. The only two I've come across so far are Nocster and VPS Village.
