Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Brand New CentOS 6.5 Server Running 12.0.18 Crashing Randomly
Aug 19, 2014
I have a brand new A8i server from 1&1 that has crashed twice today and could only be rebooted through the 1&1 control panel (not Plesk). Out of the blue the server is not accessible from the Plesk CP and is not responding to pings. I have looked through the logs and do not see anything that stands out (I am not very Linux savvy). Is there somewhere specific that I can look that would tell me why it is locking up/crashing? I have only had the server about 2 weeks and am only running email on it (no websites besides webmail and Plesk CP). It is possible that there is a hardware issue, but I cannot have 1&1 check it until after hours tonight.
Server is an 8 core Intel Atom 2.6GHz with 8GB RAM.
Our server is running; Plesk 11.0.9 and CentOS 5.7 it has a Q8200 CPU @ 2.33GHz and 2GB of RAM. Now there are just two websites on the server plus a couple of redirects/forwarding domains, although lots of domains are still on the server but turned off in Plesk. Both websites are OSCommerce sites and I just need to keep these sites going until the end of the year when we will switch to our new Joomla based website.
We have seen an increasing number of server crashes and after various checks of the logs, fitting a new BIOS battery, check of the hardware by EasySpace who host the server, installation of ClamAV, LMD and RKHunter (which did find some Trojans and Suspect software), I have traced it down to some external Http activity that is taking all of my CPU time and RAM. Here is a screen capture of the Htop listing and when I killed these processes the CPU and RAM went back to normal. The problem is that I usually have to restart the HTTPD service and sometimes things get so bad that the server crashes and I have to request a power cycle.
The problem is that it switches from running to mounted without me having anything to do with it. It seems to be quite randomly, for example this morning at 1.42 am. This happens once a day and stops my vps and therefore my website - which is quite annoying.
I checked for log files or anything, but there was nothing mentioning resources or anything.
Does anyone have a clue what this might be? If I cannot fix the problem there is still the opportunity to just start the vps once it goes to status mounted. How would I automate this?
I have the web pro edition panel 12 on centos 6.5 64bit, and i have made some custom firewall rules in order to be able to run a teamspeak server. The problem is that the firewall randomly blocks the teamspeak port and keeps it blocked unless i restart the firewall.
I run a drupal site on a VPS running Lighttpd with 128MB ram and 15GB disk space. Every so often the server crashes and I have no access to even reboot via the shell, I have to get my host to reboot the VPS. They say its most likely due to the server running out of memory. I would have no more than 5 users plus 5 guests online at the same time. So my question is this...
How can I find out exactly what is consuming the memory and causing the server to crash? I have looked at drupal logs and the server logs, but I'm no wiser as to whats causing it. What should I be looking for and what can I do to try and solve this?
I have a Centos 6 server with Heart Internet, who yesterday had an issue with the issue and once back online have been struggling til now getting the mysql service working correctly again and have now refused to provide any further support and redirected me here.
I was following this article here: [URL] ....
I've gotten to point 4. "~# mysqldump -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -A | sed '1iSET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;' > /root/dumpall.sql" however it's saying "got error: 145: table './avenue141_dabs/av_options' is marked as crashed and should be repaired when using LOCK TABLES and any attempts made to get into the DB to repair is giving me "error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
This issue is urgent as we have a few websites on this server which use mysql databases for their website.
Which protocol I should use for performing a backup of important server files and folders. I do make a snapshot but i found that's not enough.
My Centos 6.6 has ProFTPD configuration setup only for webhosts so no root access. I came across SCP, but don't know how to secure that like a Pro. I have also heard about SSHFS for linux.
I have a fresh server running CentOS 6 (final). I am trying to install Plesk 11.5.30 but i am experiencing some problems. When i run the plesk-installer i get this message:
Your host name must resolve to the correct IP address of your server, unless you are using network address translation (NAT).
Please quit Parallels Installer, fix the host name resolution problem, and then try installing again.
You can skip the hostname check and continue the installation, however, in such a case, the installer cannot guarantee successful installation.
On a new install, if I create IPv4 and IPv6 pools (one of each enabled for branding), and create a brand using "IP address"="Shared IPv4 and dedicated IPv6", it fails without an onscreen error. A webspace is created but marked "No hosting" in PPA and Failed in Hosting Panel. A DNS zone is created. At that point I can't delete the webspace from Hosting Panel and there doesn't seem to be a way to delete it from PPA, however, I can delete the DNS zone.
This is in poa.log, not sure if it's relevant: Mar 26 09:19:20 ppa: ERR [UI:ecc45799:1427379560608 1:18157:b25ffb70 lib]: [Facade:leskResponse:arse] Plesk error 1013 Mar 26 09:19:22 ppa: ERR [openapi-firewall:b09ffb70 1:18032:b09ffb70 lib]: [iqxmlrpc-server] Server: Server error. Method 'system.methodSignature' not found.
Also after the DNS zone is created, the below is logged in poa.log...it doesn't seem relevant to the branding error but does seem to be a problem...

I have a new CentOS 7, with Plesk 12, CentOS 7 by default has XFS filesystem.
I try migrate sites from another Plesk Server but Plesk agent say: "hard disk quota is not supported due to configuration of server file system" (my CentOS 7)
I added "usrquota,grpquota", then mount -o remount / ; but when I try quotacheck -fmv / I gest this:
[root@ns ~]$ quotacheck -fmv / quotacheck: Skipping /dev/mapper/centos-root [/] quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
but quotaon command works:
[root@ns ~]$ quotaon / quotaon: Enforcing group quota already on /dev/mapper/centos-root quotaon: Enforcing user quota already on /dev/mapper/centos-root
The problem here is why Plesk does not recognize quotas as enabled on CentOS 7??
I have just recently moved to Plesk web admin from cpanel. I have been trying to get the cron to run for the past 48 hours but no luck. Bellow is the code i have been trying to execute via cron but It does not run.
"/usr/bin/php /var/www/ vhosts/mydomain. com /httpdocs/billing/index.php cron"
I currently have the Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) installed but would like a visual interface to block IP's, subnets etc.. Can I install the Plesk firewall as well without any conflict with the Web Application Firewall?
an email notification for this is coming through every day. It says ended successfully so no errors...

If i go to Server -> Scheduled Tasks and look for it, it cannot be found anywhere. Also scheduled tasks only shows system users, not 'Plesk Administrator' as the kb articles refer to.
I am trying to install Magento on my apache server. I am running into the dreaded mcrypt issue as Magento needs it to run. I have now been googling for the past few hours and have gotten nowhere.
Here are my details:
Linux Centos 5.5 PHP 5.3.3 x86_64 Plesk 12
I have tried installing all sorts of different repos and it just isn't working.
When I try to install using # yum install php-mcrypt I get the following:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Package php-mysql is obsoleted by php-mysqlnd, trying to install php-mysqlnd-5.5.13-3.el5.remi.x86_64 instead --> Processing Dependency: php53-gd for package: psa-php53-configurator --> Processing Dependency: php53-imap for package: psa-php53-configurator
i've uninstalled nginx and php-fm from plesk panel.but phpmyadmin info still showing it is running on nginx 1.6 and while uploading sql file i'm getting 503 gateway error.
my plesk control panel 11.5.30 has problems running the auto update of the panel. During the upgrade, the server reboots even after an error message appears that shows the following message: Can't parse /root/parallels/products.inf3: Error reading end tag.
