In the last few days the responses from Plesk's XML API have been extremely slow. It's now taking an average of 45 seconds to handle an XML API request where it used to be more around 5 seconds. What would cause that? What service handles these requests on the server so I can try rebooting it?
View 2 RepliesLimestone's support is extremely slow. I just got a server with them to host VPSes, so I was inquiring about additional IPs in case I needed them.
Their first two responses were within 4-5 hours, which is bearable. However, yesterday, I actually needed to order more IPs and posted a new reply. I have yet to receive a reply after over 12 hours and my client has been left waiting to receive the additional IPs he ordered.
I haven't been with Limestone long, and I haven't had much other experience with their support, but I was unsure what else to do other than post this here and hopefully get a resolution.
I know their servers are unmanaged and pretty cheap, but I think they should still take the time to answer tickets in a decent amount of time.
Has anyone had similar experiences with Limestone?
I installed CentOS 5.0 and I configured it with software RAID 1, two disks - one IDE 160 GB and one SATA 40 GB.
Here is the setup of the disks:
RAID:
~40 GB RAID 1 md0 ext3
~500 MB RAID 1 md1 swap
Disk1:
~40 gb software raid md0
~500 mb software raid md1
Disk 2:
~40 gb software raid md0
~500 mb software raid md1
After the installation I noticed that the server was very slow so I did a performace test on disk 2, here is the result:
hdparm -tT /dev/hdd first gave me:
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.52 seconds = 1.70 MB/sec
Timing cached reads: 488 MB in 6.92 seconds = 70.57 MB/sec
then gave me:
Timing cached reads: 392 MB in 2.01 seconds = 195.01 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 2 MB in 3.62 seconds = 566.16 kB/sec
So I assumed something was wrong with the disk and replaced it with an 80 GB IDE disk (same setup as before) and got the following results:
hdparm -tT /dev/hdd:
Timing cached reads: 4 MB in 4.69 seconds = 872.73 kB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 6 MB in 3.72 seconds = 1.61 MB/sec
It feels highly unlikely that there is something wrong with both of the IDE disks. So what can be the problem? Can you think of anything?
I have just gotten a new server and the ping results were pretty fine. However, when it comes to the download speed its horrible. What could be the issue?

Isn't a write-speed over 7MB/s reasonable to expect? Also look at the low CPU times...
Anyway running the same test on a similar but older AND busier server showed much better results than this. In fact dd'ing a 1GB file from /dev/zero "finished" in about 10 seconds but then pegged the server at 99% iowait (wa) for a full three minutes (until done being written from cache I assume), bringing load to 15.00
That's all the info I have so far... the data center just replaced the card (which gave no errors) with no effect. Running these benchmark tests is about the extend of my hardware experience.
I have a client who has 3 to 4 websites. His websites are database driven mysql. When we transfered to a new server everything works. Then he requested a iconv and GD installations. Then it was installed. Now all of his sites is impossibly to view but its up. The rest of the clients are doing just fine. What do you think is the problem? we recompiled php several times already same thing.

FTP logins worked fine yesterday. Today I get a 530 Login incorrect.

I am the owner of a VPS, where i host a website.
However this website suddenly was returning 404 nginx errors (on certain files), however these files do exist.
If i try to access a file that doesnt exist it gives me a regular 404 browser error (not nginx).
During loading of one these files i also noticed it was loading openadserving.com
So i think my server has been infected.
For example this is a logo image: [URL] ....
I have a domain which has a website built in Web Presence Builder. That allows people to go to http://domain.com. When they do that, for Google analytics purposes (I do not want Google Analytics to show 2 pages of http://domain.com and http://www.domain.com), I want to ensure that any request puts www. in it automatically.
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter setting up a new server on Plesk12, I successfully ran some test mail outs using phpmailer using the SMTP server on this machine
However, there was an issue in creating new local mail accounts in plesk with an error message each time.
Investigating this issue led me to a solution that I should run mail_restore from the Plesk scripts
This cured the problem of setting up new local accounts but outgoing SMTP mail is always failing with 'relay access denied'.
I've been having trouble with my VPS for a while now. In the QoS alerts page in Virtuozzo it seems to be a problem with numtcpsock and tcprcvbuf, mainly numtcpsock.
Copy these into the browser:

This line is particularly scary:
numtcpsock 164 164 166 166 7321
What do i need to do, to get the website running again? It's only one site on the vps a proxy. So i thought a vps would be able to handle one proxy.
I've discovered an annoying problem in Plesk 11.

The test fail because the server didn't answer to ICMP IPv6 requests.
Error: The server does not listen to or does not answer in UDP on the port 53 (on the IpV6)
My question is: How to open port 53 on IPv6 for ICMP requests ?
This is functional with IPv4 But not IPv6.
There are some rules in the Plesk Firewall, but it seems not working at all.
We have a problem with a Plesk backup. We have about 300 domains, the scheduled task starts 23.30 and takes about 16 hours and thats not normal. Before it took about 9-10 hours for 'All configuration and content' and that was too long, so we set up for 'All configuration and content except mail'. It worked for a few days and then it started to take 14 - 16 hours for a server backup. We use Plesk 11.5 on CentOS 6 64bit.

After upgrading to Plesk 12 the FTP connection has become very slow. Mode Security, Fail2Ban and Plesk Firewall have been enabled, the security is set to force sFTP and maximum security and in /etc/proftpd.d/ a conf file has been added to set the passive ports that have been opened in the Plesk Firewall (60000 to 62000)
Turning off the Mod Security does not solve the slow connection.
What can we do to detect the cause of the problem?

I have tried issuing a /etc/init.d/psa restart command and has made no difference.
We are seeing intermittent slow responses from SMTP on a RHEL6 server running Qmail on Plesk 11.5. The response is being measured from a remote Zabbix server.
The response time seems to be slow (>10s) for a period of 2-3 minutes and then returns to normal (<1s). All other services continue to be ok during the period of slowness.
The server_args line in /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa already contains "-Rt0" and all the DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf are resolving properly.
From looking at the maillog file the server was receiving about 35 SMTP connections a minute at the time of the slowdown. We have the server configured to use 2 x RBL's.
I wonder if we are hitting a limit on the maximum amount of SMTP connections. The file /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming does not exist so, according to the Qmail manual, there shouldn't be a limit on the number of incoming SMTP connections.

I installed on it Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I noticed that the overall system is very slow in responding. I tried to search about that in the internet and I found some articles talking about how to make Ubuntu 12.04 LTS run fast I applied all what they said including download LXDE desktop environment and then nothing different in the system response time.
Then I need to develop some android applications so, I download Android Studio (Beta) 0.8.6.

When I tried to run my first application on the AVD it took three hours and still not run yet.
I delete the Android Studio and install it again several times, I was trying to solve the problem but still nothing change.
I`ve got a problem with plesk when hosting Wordpress, when using Wordpress navigating between the pages (front-end and back-end) server time seems to be 15 sec.I`ve checked CPU usage and that stays under 5%.
When I install Drupal or Concrete5 or any other application that uses PHP with MYSQL it runs very fast.I`ve already fine-tuned PHP / Apache2 / Nginx & Mysql to get the max possible performance out of it.
What i`m using for hardware:
i7 920 2.6Ghz
24GB Ram
LSI Raid controller 9260-8i
RAID 10, 6 WD Black disks (internal speed goes about 450mb/sec)
RAID 1, 2 x Samsung SSD Evo 840
Software:
ESXI 5.5, optimised for maximum performance. (no standard config)
PLESK VM has 8 cores, 16GB Ram and I/O access priority set to max.
If I move the PLESK VM to the SSD datastore it makes no difference.Again, the problem only happens when i`m installing Wordpress..I Also did a manual install of Wordpress, same issue..I`m going to try the older version of Wordpress (3.9) so see i`m having the same problems..Using the latest plesk 12 on Ubuntu 14 with trail license at the moment.
Today, without any change on the server side my single running website on my server started running low. After checking the running processes I realised I have these 8 processes running with high cpu load something that didn't had before.

I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?
Just a warning to everyone.
I ordered 5 servers from alphared.com, I spent an entire evening explaining to their sales person what I required.
In the end I decided on 4 Duo's and one P4. All to be connected with a Gigabit private Lan and to share 10Mbit premium bandwidth. I was promised it would take approx three days for this to be setup.
One week later I was met with an apology that the price quoted would unfortunately have to be tripled due to a mistake.
I paid $3,500 setup. Its now three weeks later and I have NO service.
I follow up every few days and am promised the service will be up soon.
STILL NO SERVICE!
Today I'm met with ANOTHER email saying it will be 10 days to allocate me 32 IP's. Not to mention the mess that every few days I'm asking how I want the servers setup.
I have missed my deadlines, my current provider is still billing me, my clients are moaning that I"m doing nothing about our current providers issues.
Are there any decent providers out there? or is finding someone who is competent and does what they say a pipedream?
And I guess I've lost $3,500 ... haven't I?

They don't appear for some time if I kill them (a day or more). But it repeats again and again. One day there were 8 similar processes in total in max which used all 4 cores at 100% (and even ssh console was extremely slow to do something there).
I think that somebody is trying to make a small attack of some sort but I need to check it first. I tried to look at apache logs but there were too many posting requests from different IPs and no dublicates for little period of time so I had no success.
Anyway, that script worked for us for 4 years already and we didn't have any problems with it even on our old single core P4 2.8 ghz.
way to make sure is this an attack of some sort or just this script doesn't work correctly on our new machine?
Are there any ways to get IPs of visitors who are running posting.php with CPU overloading?

Has anyone got suggestions on who i should even consider for this? I'm a bit dumbfounded myself as i'v never even thought about a server on this much sustained bandwidth before today.
--An extremely positive review of 3DGWebHosting
We now have passed 60 days with 3dgwebhosting (3dgwebhosting.com) and what had started as a VPS only endeavor continues to expand based upon the incredible level of support and technical performance we are receiving.
If you would have asked me three months ago about 3dgwebhosting I would have been unable to respond...I did quite a bit of research when we decided to switch from a shared hosting offering with some large shared hosting providers to a VPS. I contacted close to a dozen providers and inquired regarding performance, packages, support, etc. and at the end of the day there was a level of comfort with 3DG that I did not have with the majority of other VPS Providers. Don't get me wrong...there were some shining stars in the bunch but something about 3dg (beyond the great pricing and flexibility) sold me on giving them a try.
Being a serial entrepreneur I have always been partial to working with smaller (at least those that felt smaller!) customer-centric firms for all of my support services from back office to technical. This was no exception. Performance is obviously critical in the technical space but I also view customer service and attentive vendors as critical factors in vendor selection.
Well the short of it is we have been on board with 3DG for over 60 days. Performance has been top notch and the level of customer support has been unmatched by any technical services provider I have used in the past. In addition, 3DG has become a strategic partner and has provided some great insight into how to globalize our technology and incorporate our clients’ needs into our technology platform (i.e. SharePoint). I truly did not expect to see this level of involvement on a consulting front and level of customization on a technology front from a hosting provider – a pleasant surprise! Kudos to David and the 3dg team. We have many sites on the VPS but our primary is glotegy.com.
If my business provides a level of service that is worthy of praise I always hope that my clients will speak their mind and help me spread the word about what I am trying to do. With that said I cannot recommend 3DG highly enough!
Since the inception of the VPS we have also put in place a dedicated server at 3DG that is running Office SharePoint Server and will be live with a hosted solution of Microsoft Dynamics 4.0 CRM with 3DG sometime next week.
Sorry for the long post but as you can probably tell I get pretty passionate about my business and those firms who help me with my global endeavors! To sum it up...finally...3DG is attentive, customer-centric, and a valued business partner.
Extremely bad mannered treatment by flashvpn .......
