Plesk 12.x / Windows :: High Cpu Usage And Methods To Understand What Website Is Involved
Jul 15, 2015
from about 3-4 days, the cpu of my server, from an average of 0-15% load, grew up to a constant 80-90-100% cpu load.
There were two processes called php-cgi.exe IWAM_PLESK(default) that, each one, constantly burned 30-40% of cpu load.
So, stopping websites one by one, I found the website that was the cause of the cpu overload.
On my "old" windows vps, there were processes called with the name of the website hosted (for example websitename_web.exe), so it was easy to immediately find exactly what website was involved in the hypotetical cpu or ram overload issue.
I got 5 wordpress and 5 statics website on this server and 100 visitors by 24H00 each day.
Question 1 : Why the memory is so low and the swap so high ? Question 2 : Why i don't find high usage process in top command ? Question 3 How can i resolve this problem ?
We are currently running plesk 11.5 and over the last few months, the apache memory usage has been very high. On investigation we have gone through the logs and we can't find a cause.
I can issue a service httpd restart and the memory drops for about 30 minutes and then we see the apache memory grow to almost 1.5 - 2GB. Why this keeps happening?
I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.
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.

apache error log doesn't show any warnings, errors.
Where does the log file for the web traffic usage shown in plesk (in plesk tools and settings->statistics) gets saved in the server(windows server 2008 R2)?
Does it related to the folder C:inetpubvhostsincometaxsoft.comstatisticslogsW3SVC7.
When a reseller create a service plan themselves...is there any way to limit the CPU and memory setting for the application pool to recycle on their own created plan?
I am new to this and it has been a long weeks of struggle just to get my website live on the internet. I can preview it but i can't Open what is the problem? It also not live on the internet. I waited over six days because i was thingking it was still in the process of propagation but nothing happened.
I have server with P4 ( 2.4ghz) 2gb ram with cpanel and centos.
When I get more than 300 users online on my forum. Server load remains under 2 but Ram usage get's high upto 90% every 10 to 3 minutes. I have to restart apache in order to keep it down.
I wanted to select I want PHP 5.4 instead of 5.3 and to disable AWStats for the domain. This is what I got :-(

We have set up a site for a customer anyone goes to view the sites an a default authentication pop up appears, and the only way to view the website is to type in the customers Cpanel Login details.
I've checked the IUSR, IWPD permissions and they are correct. and check the authentication modules and level in IIS and they seems to be correct.
Is there away to set a customers permissions to the default settings?
i have a problem with my plesk 12 Installation on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard machine.
When I select a Website and want to change the php settings for that page it wont apply the new settings.
I placed a phpinfo() file in the Folder of that Website to test that. The weird thing is when i change the memory_limt value it is visible on the phpinfo() but when i change post_max_size or upload_max_filesize nothing changes.
Am using Hypervm,my all vms are not using more than 512 MB memory but when i click on server as localhost the there is show maximum memory usage I have total 8 GB it always show 5-6 GB usage and never drop down, How can I fix this matters?
i have a quad core Intel XEON 5130 @ 1.60GHz . with 6giga now of memory . i have about 300 account in it . CENTOS Enterprise 4.6 installed .
the probleme is that the memory server it used in totaly . after i was just 2Gb of ram , but sometimes the server lod arrive at 50% . for that i have added more memory (4Gb) , when i added it the memroy usage is always about 4giga sometimes about 3980Mb . the load is normal , but sometimes the server loas arrive at 50% or 60% (this is just in specific times) . after i have decided to add 2 Gb more , now is 6gb in the server . but also all the 6giag of ram is used , the load is normal but memory is all used , look to the top command
now iam haveing more that 0.50-1.20 cpu useage,also cpu useage is also increased i hosted only 6 site out what only one site use MSQL all other site are plain download site,how to reduce the cpu load can u figure me out this issue also give me some tips to reduce the cpu usage
I noticed high cpu usage on my server since a couple of days ago. I neither updated software nor changed the configurations on the server. The server load was about 0.5 ~ 1.0 but now the average CPU load does not go below 5.0
when I stop apache (1.3) the load goes down and as soon as I start it up the load start increasing.
I checked for DoS but it seems nothing exists of this type.
I tried to follow the access_log file but from the first view nothing is strange there.
I don't have any control panel on the server. just Apache, FTP and SSH installed.
Since yesterday named started to use more cpu than usual. Techs "refuse" to work with that issue and saying that its's normal. Though all the time had no problems, haven't added hundreds of domains yesterday and there were no changes from my end.
There was one change from techs side however.
"the MX record for the domain was going to localhost, rather than the domain name. I have changed the MX record to domain..."
Anything I should check? Logs doesn't provide anything valuable, just notices.
I am running a youtube clone on a VPS with 512mb ram at Lunarpages.
Whenever I log into Plesk, I find that my system usage is extremely high. 90%++ even up to 100%. However my CPU usage is often less than 5%.
This problem often occurs when there is slightly more visitors on my site. I am talking about only 30++ visitors and this problem will occur and my site slows to a crawl and I have to restart the VPS.
i have a problem with my server it is a Xeon with 2Gb ram, i have a igh swap usage and when it reach the size of 4gb that i have set it go in kernel panic, this is the actual value
I need some help my CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.7 Ghz) always gets high usage from mysql sometimes its using 95% cpu etc... How can I modify my.cnf to use less CPU and more ram since I have 3gb ram installed?
I purchased a VPS at wiredtree to upload a site that is in the works so that it would be "ready" once it was launched (had it sitting on a shared server before). So I have this domain on there, as well as a small wordpress blog. In total I'm get a very miniscule trickle of visitors to these websites (as they are not officially launched), around 100 visits per day, many of which are only 1 pageview visits.
My problem is, my server is already idling over its memory limit of 256mb. This is causing major slowdowns, and processes like cpanel are constantly be killed and I can't login.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing my high memory usage? I just can't image that the visitors I am getting are doing much, as for the majority of the day I have absolutely no one viewing my domains, yet my memory usage is still over the limit.
Wiredtree support says its up to me to optimize my msql/php scripts etc for low mem usage, but I don't see how this will help when there is no one using them in the first place.
For some reason cpanellogd always had huge memory usage in the realm of 40-90% when running logs for one particular site, which inturn sends the server load to 25-40.
What can cause this? I have delete logs after stats run enabled and all the usuall.
I was wondering is someone can shed some light on a curious situation for me. I am running a linux server (Gentoo) and the CPU usage spikes to 90-100% but the load of the server when viewed by top is only 0.4 - 1.5 (max). The memory is OK with .5 gig free and there is no paging going on. So my question is: Is this server over used or not?
Below is the output of top 3 times over aprox 2 min... please enlighten me... :-)
