I'm having the oddest issue. For some reason, some of the websites on my server load fine, and some take a really long time to load (2 minutes).
Now, the server load is fine, and the size of the sites aren't the issue either. I've restarted Apache and a couple more services, and still the same sites seem to load very slow.
What could be causing this since it's only effecting certain websites?
The memory usage on my server is fine, I watched the CPUs for a long time and watched the server load also, the CPUs were easily riding along not often going over 20% (I have 2) yet the thing is, the server load is very strangely going mad... It's rarely under 6.0 (2 cpus) and sometimes goes into 20s, yet the server doesn't slow, nothing stops working but it simply goes red and shows it's bad news.
I've been told that the only other thing that might be causing this is the hard drives... I have 2x160GB 7200rpm hard drives - not sure if they are SATA etc..
If anyone has any ideas as to why the server load is so high - but everything else is fine -
way to know the sites that make load on the server through SSH
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've searched a bit on this topic, but noone seems to have any resolutions: I have a myriad of different websites on a server, and want to balance resources. What and how are the best ways to do this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo this is a new problem for me, and I have no idea what could be broken?
My server works, but none of the sites load.
Server ip is 69.162.121.170, one of the sites is bloghost.cl
Where should I start looking? When you try to visit the site it just tells you it cant establish a connection. All I did was restart the server today, and now nothing works
I have seen 1 vps provider having very poor ping results in few online ping sites and they have a very cluster slow loading pages as well.
One of my friend has a package with them, the ping results are very poor even for him as well. Just made an traceroute found its on some node1.vpsprovider.com
Ya, one more major important similarity noticed was, the vps provider emails weren't set properly to yahoo mail, and my friend's emails sent from the server to yahoo weren't delivered as well.
So if the vps provider has poor content may be due to firewall or internal settings do the systems under the node also be affected?
I have no problems with my host so nothing to be worried about, but need to help him as he is just starting it out with a cheaper vps
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:
i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/gnatfish/qosnumtcpsock2.jpg
And when i run cat /proc/user_beancounters:
i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/gnatfish/beancounters2.jpg
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.
So the other day me and friend installed cPanel on a VPS. Everything seems to be working perfectly however the sites don't seem to load.
I've pinged all the domains and they all seem to be fine and the hostname also seems to be setup I'm just not sure why my sites aren't loading.
I've also loaded the site on multiple computers using different dns servers and still no luck.
I haven't touched apache at all, but from what I understand I don't need to.
my named service works okay but sites don't load.
What can be the problem? When I look at logs, named uses /etc/named.conf but the real conf file is located at /etc/named/named.conf
The last 2-3 days my websites on my vps all started acting funny. Randomly throughout the day they will all just stop loading. If you go to one of my sites they will just load and load and load and eventually time out after 5 minutes.
To fix this problem, all I have to do is reset Apache in my WHM. Everything will be fine for awhile until it decides to stop loading again.
I've been talking to tech support for 2 days. They're out of options. They tried banning some IPs as they thought I might be getting hacked. They tried moving me to a different host machine. They've checked all my logs... there are no errors or problems with the vps. The server load is always very low. Memory is always very low.
I run about 15-20 websites on this VPS. Two of them are vbulletin (v. 3.6.4 and v3.6.8) and all the rest are wordpress).
My VPS is hosted with ServInt.
Server Version: Apache/1.3.39 (Unix) PHP/5.2.4 mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4
mysql (5.0.45-community-log)
I get these emails all day:
httpd failed @ Wed Jan 9 06:10:42 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.
I am completely out of ideas and options. Can anyone think of something? Think outside the box... make random suggestions. I don't care, I need to try something.
I most recently added 3 or so brand new websites to my vps about a week ago. However, they are just running wordpress so I can't imagine they're the problem.
What are the best tools to check if our sites load quickly or not?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am facing a strange issue with two RPG games sites that i am hosting on a 2GB ram server with softlayer, each of these sites was running on a 512MB VPS and they were doing fine but i decided to move them to better server so things run smoother when each has 50+ members online.
So the issue is when i have around 40 online members on each site, they start coughing up mysql errors, sometimes the sites just hang and stop loading, server load goes up to 3 or 4 but memory usage remains around 40%, I also notice that mysql uses the most of the CPU usage, around 75%
What i probably need is for someone to identify the cause of this, can it be an attack of some sort? or is it probably some code issues in the sites? do you recommend anyone that can have a look at this?
Anyone know of some good server load testers ( commercial )?
Im not looking for application based load testing, I need real web server load testing... need to see how much traffic this one site can take before it cries.
I dont know much about what could be cuasing this so i come to you for advice, i am currently at wired tree on their VPS384 package with 348MB of ram and my site is really slow to load [url]sometimes it is so embaressing to show people i just dont bother, i am sure this is deferring visitors from my content how can i speed this up?
I can add more ram but it will push the price and if the price goes too high i might aswell move to a Hybrid with wiredtree.
My server gets 300 - 600 concurrent connections to http port 80, has a CPU load of 1 - 2%, has practically all RAM of 1 GB used, is running apache 2 and centos 5.
It tends to get slow and when I ban IPs that use many connections to my server (raping it), it becomes fast again. But soon after that new ******* users come which I again ban and the process repeats itself
I'm starting to think that maybe I just don't have enough RAM to handle them because it seems at least some of those users are legit. I don't however have even that much content that needs to be cached so I'm not sure what good RAM would do but perhaps apache just needs more.
My server has a small load (about 30% of it is being used) and it is still running very slow. When I reboot it runs fast for about 5-10 min, and then it is back to slow. I reported this to hivelocity and the responded with
"
The problem was one of your apache process was pegged out. Restarting apache resolved this issue. If you still have issues check top and run lsof on the process ID that is pegged out."
and after it continued
"It will continur to happen until you isolate the source of the issue and stop it.
The load looked fine just now, so I am not seeing an issue.
What you can do is when it pegs out (simply restarting webserver will get it back up but not resolve) run the following command:
ps -aux
Look through the processes to see what is calling it."
Whn I run ps -aux i see a username on my server. i suspended that username but the problem is still happening.
My machine is pretty good. Here are the specs:
Intel Xeon-Woodcrest 5148-DualCore
3 gigs of ram
250GB Western Digital WD Cavia
I run a forum with a modest amount of traffic along with a content management system handling the other sections of the website. I'm pretty sure the forum isn't the problem though.
The server load for this machine is almost never above a 1. Right now as I type this the load is at 0.17, but it's unbearably slow! Taking up to 16 seconds to load a single page.
What could be causing this? I'm a server n00b. Is there a setting I should be doing to one of my servers configuration files to make it run faster?
My website gets 30-40,000 visitors a day and these problems always occur during peak hours. It would be easier to deal with this though if not for the fact that the server load is always so low. How is it possible for the site to get so slow while the server load is always so low?
I am currently hosting my website on one server with the specs:
2.8ghz Dual Quad-Core processor + 8 gigs of ram + two 500 hard drives with a 50 mbps unmetered bandwidth package.
My current problem lies in high server loads and very slow server performance throughout the day.
I am considering migrating over to The Planet onto server with the specs:
3.0ghz Dual Quad-Core + 18 gigs of ram + two 50gb hard drives with 2TB of monthly bandwidth transfer.
In an attempt to have great bandwidth pricing and server performance, I plan on downgrading my current server with my current host to a lowe-end server and keeping it only to host my VIDEO and MUSIC files with the 50mbps unmetered package. The Planet will then host my database and all other web related files on their new server.
Is this a good idea as an attempt to save money in bandwidth costs and eliminating my server lag issues?
I was offered a setup of a separate web and database server at my current host but from what I have read, no one touches the performance and reliability The Planet has to offer.
server load is low according to top command / mytop but what I dont understand all websites on the server are loading very slow.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just added a database server in private network and moved the database for Vbulletin Forum to this server.
But some how, the Forum is loading extremely slow compare to before ( when it was on the localhost). Also, Compare to another website on server (using local database) it is much slower.
One thing good is the load is lower
2 servers are connected via 10mbs private link, both servers are at Softlayer.
webserver: Opteron 170, 2GB RAM, 73GB SCSI 15K
database: Quad Xeon 3220, 2GB RAM, 73GB SCSI 15K.
I'm hosting about 6 private websites on my server, and some have problems.
My biggest website is a vb forum with 30.000 members and 1.5 million posts.
When i browse with firefox i see that vb forum loads fast, but phpads which is integrated on the top and footer loads very slow. When i browse with IE, it takes like 10 seconds before the whole site is loaded and sometimes IE even crashes.
When i try to login on another website / admin panel (oscommerce), i get a mysql gone away error, that means timeout. But why does it show that? I ran mysqlreport and can't find anything why it should display mysql gone away.

I can't find any problems on the server which may lead to this strange problem.
The server load is normal, around 1 to 1.5. No weird errors in the apache error log or system log.
This strange behaviour started 2 weeks ago, and appears 2 to 3 time a week.
The system is running:
centos 4.3 64-bit
kernel 2.6.16.17 #1 SMP
directadmin 1.29.0
mysql 5.0.15
php 5.2
apache 2
Zend optimizer 3.2.0
Eaccelerator 1.95
One thing i noticed is that every night when the directadmin cron finished, the server acts normal again.
The directadmin cronjobs are:
* * * * * root /usr/local/directadmin/dataskq

I recently started hosting a large vBulletin forum (14,014 registered users... 30-60 online at a time) on one of my dedicated servers. When there's a lot of activity on the forums, things start getting really slow. There will be like 50 php-cgi processes running. Some users get blank pages, others get this message:
Notice: Undefined variable: errfile in [path]/forums/includes/functions_log_error.php on line 163
Specs of the server are:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
160GB SATA HDD
2GB DDR2 RAM
FreeBSD 6.2 (Hosted at AwkNet)
Could there be any Apache modifications I can make to increase performance, or anything else I could try?

I'm having trouble with a new server. It's a dedicated (Q6600 + 8 gig RAM + 4 x 250gig in Raid 10 + Centos 5.3 64bit + Cpanel).
The machine is way overpowered for the traffic going to the site.
The server load is rarely above .10 and often closer to zero.
I'm getting periodic extreme slow downs. Web pages will take 30-60 seconds to load (or longer). SSH will timeout, or if I can connect, it will take seconds (sometimes 10-15 seconds) for key press to register in the SSH terminal. Pop3 times out, etc.
This might last for 15 minutes or 3-4 hours. Then, everything will start running like a champ again. Traceroutes to the server during the slow downs haven't shown a problem between the server and where I am testing from (have connected from multiple proxies and remote sites to eliminate my local internet connection).
I'm looking for any advice on how to trouble shoot this. Hardware? Software? Configuration issue?
It is definitely not a capacity/load issue. There have been no spikes in web traffic. The opposite, this is a very slow time for my site, which is why I moved to a new server in May.
My server is very slow, High CPU, High Apache load....
I got a new server and i had setup a script on it.
No server tweaks has been done.
I run a filehosting site so it gets very slow when traffic is high.

I dont know much about server managment...
how to fix this so server doesnt go slow?
I have a problem with one of my domain. Some users around the world cannot access the website, but they can ping and traceroute the server without any problems. I am able to access the website perfectly.
Site URL is www.djluv.in
And we are using IPB 2.2
Moreover if theres another domain on the same server, they can access it.
There are about 25-30 users who are facing this problem, but from different part of the world so I cant even say ISP problem.
APF has been shutdown, no Ban Filters on IPB or cpanel.
What are the possible reasons why they couldn't access the website? how to fix the problem?
If you check out [url], you can see that its not running super fast. The load is nothing, iostat, vmstat, etc don't show anything out of the ordinary. Is there anything else I can do to see what might be causing it? Am I just in need of some good mysql optimization?

We are talking with a datacentre about colocation and im hiring a third party company to manage the servers 'on site' on our behalf.
Im looking for some feedback on the 'colocation agreement' and the 'server management agreement' to make sure were covering everything.
just to be clear, Ive got a server administrator who will access the server virtually so the only points of the agreement will be those tasks that need to be done 'on site'.
the points ive looked at so far are:
colocation agreement
> 1u and 2u costs.
> Server setup costs.
> Power allocation and cost of additional amp's.
> Bandwidth overages.
> storage space for spares
onsite server management agreement
> hardware replacement costs .
> Hardware upgrade costs.
> status monitoring.
> general server management.
1) what else should be covered in the colocation details?
2) what should be included within the 'on site server management' agreement?
3) what should be included under the description 'general server management'.
for example: I think physical reboots should be part of the server management agreement, but how many on average per server per month should be included?
3) should hardware replacement cost be fixed rate per task or hourly, also do you have any suggestions regarding what to expect over a year (nothing exact, just a bit of guidance to help with the budgeting)
Combined these agreements should cover everything that we can not do remotely.
