Traffic Increase A Lot Suddenly Without Reason
Mar 31, 2008I can not find anything weird on the server.

Let's suppose you have a site on a shared hosting plan, and all of the sudden it gets a huge surge in traffic as a result of being featured in the news or something like that. What would be a good plan of action to deal with the surge quickly?
(ex. maybe your hosts takes the site offline from bandwidth overuse)
What traffic monitor would everyone recommend for sites that have as many as 5,000 to 10,000 hits an hour?

Is there a reason this would be bad? I realize it means more queries to my server, but 10 minutes is still rather long, not like thats going to totally hammer my server,

Am runing CentOS 4.x with many domains on the server,
I have moved my 2 websites to a new server running Debian ( it was runnning CentOs with Cpanel ).
Both of them are high load websites. When i start apache, everything runs fine ( about 200 requests/sec ).
Suddenly, after 30 or 60 minutes running, apache starts using a lot of CPU and server load goes to 200 or higher. So i have to reboot the server.
Do you have any idea of what could cause this problem?
I mean, the scripts are the same, they are well optimized. So i am not sure what could cause this problem.
I have a dual processor, dual core server with 12GB memory.. It uses less than 4% CPU utilization and less than 5% memory utilization, but for some reason It's really slow to load sites...
I know this isn't much information, but would any have any ideas as to what could cause the slow speed?
If is anyone is available to look at it, I'll pay you (obviously).
I'm having my first DDOS attack. Do people DDos servers for no reason? Beacause they are attacking an IP on a server that have not had any sites or any use on it for 4 years.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 5 servers spread out in different locations running Fedora Core, Webmin, and OpenVPN.
My most recent one I signed up with on here and for 2 weeks I have been doing various things to speed it up such as remove ipv6, change the dns servers, etc. and rebooting after making such changes.
Things were working properly and the server was rebooted last about 3 days ago after installing OpenVPN and Webmin. Yesterday afternoon the server suddenly stopped responding and dropped its VPN connections. I created a ticket with my hosts support center and they told me that the network module was uninstalled.
Is this possible? I have NEVER heard of any software uninstalling a network module and even more so suddenly stopping the service to uninstall it without a reboot?
Did my host just try to screw me to get a reimage fee on their cheap server?
i have a dedicted server 160 disk space

i've buy a domain name form a hosting company and host it at another company...

however something weird happened when i have accidently agreed on some suggestion during ftp upload (i can't remember what is suggested while upload, i suppose to click NO but...). then my site turn to the cPanel page.
when i try check at the domain name server, the setting is correct.
however, the addon domain in the hosting company is disappeared. all the files are still in the directory, but the domain is no more appear under the added on domain list.
I tried to add the domain again, however it shows "Error from park wrapper:..." i've also checked the park domain, my domain is not in the list too...
i have a VPS on which i host one of my Proxy site and nothing else (no databases, no emails, just the usual proxy files needed).

1. restarted the server
2. stopped and restarted some critical services like httpd etc.
3. restarted my free crappy control panel also Ravencore
but all without success
if u feel that u can help me out then can tell u my webmin root password also via PM (u must be a reputed member).
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.

Like if you try to make your own server, it would cost a few thousand right? Or bought one from IBM or something. If you rent a server, it could cost you like double that I notice or even more in a period of a year.
I was looking at the prices of Xeon 5420 and they are like only 400 or something. Motherboard, ram, hdd's shouldn't amount to too much right?
And companies are charging like 50 bucks a month for a 2 gigs of ram.
Or am I actually looking at this wrong and actually am looking at desktop components? So is bandwidth the cost for these prices? In the long run aren't people being ripped off?
My Webhost suddenly does not allow php contact forms! Instead, they expect me to change all forms on 16 sites hosted by them to use a phpFormMail solution they provide. It's a real hassle.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've got something very strange going on....This is a CentOS server running Plesk (32 bit)...I've got clientexec installed and it has been running perfectly fine for a long time now. Today, in the middle of invoicing some clients, I got the zend optimizer not loaded page...which is weird, since i know it is loaded. Nevertheless, I downloaded the source again and reinstalled Zend and the page is still showing up. Could an automatic plesk update have caused this? (I'm not too familiar with what files are updated and whatnot when control panels are updated)
I really need to figure out what's going on here. I can get you any information you need. Are there supposed to be additional lines in the php.ini relating to the optimizer? Because I opened VI and searched for optimizer and nothing came up.......
I have a shared server (root access) using Cpanel / Centos with suphp enabled.
Twice this week the sever's load skyrocketed and was unable to login to trace teh cause, had to reboot instead.
After reboot, I went to whm > CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage and saw nothing in red aside netstat (21% cpu). I'm not sure if this is the cause, but how can I trace the absolute user or script causing this spike?
I have a dedicated machine collocated at some hosting provider and after a while (14 days or so, but timeframe is not constant) it hangs for no apparent reason. It happened 2 times already. Nothing in the logs (it logs everything), nothing at all.
Before the commission the machine was running for a month without any problems.
The first time it happened the tech guy plugged in monitor and keyboard and could not see anything on the display. Before that machine was not loaded with any traffic, nobody should have actually known it is there (except for some DNS traffic). It took some 20 days of uptime.
The second time it happened was yesterday, after some 15 days of uptime.
I suspect hardware malfunction because I have 2 "identical" (OS & progs, not the hardware) systems running without any problems. It is an HP DL380 G5 machine, the problematic one.
I got a new hard drive. After just completing the wonderful instructions on how to rename video files on the server, the new hard drive has just "misplaced" over 1200 of my exclusive videos!
I didnt erase anything, but now the hard drive can only see upto a certain letter, all after that has gone.........is there any way this hard drive can restore these files? its getting ridiculous now
PRODUCT, Plesk for Windows VERSION 11.5 latest update VERSION OF MICROUPDATE 11.5.30 Actualizar #39, OPERATING SYSTEM Windows 2008 Server Suddently with no apparent reason, MYSQL stops and Ihave to go to the panel and restart it.
Every Morning I have to restart MySQL thru the control panel in remote console of windows..Works all day long, and then stops at night..Should work as always did, for several months I did not even reboot the server, no I have to reboot the server to see if that fixes the problem. Latest windows update, latest Plesk for windows update, but I have the feeling that with the latest microupdate something has broken,
DNS lookups against domains on my server are suddenly failing. The /etc/resolv.conf shows 3 entries for uplink DNS servers at my provider (theplanet). Bind is running, too.
What else could cause this? All sites are accessible via IP, but not by name anymore.
Cpanel/WHM server
I have a server that I access through remote desktop. Suddenly I am getting the message "Remote Desktop Disconnected: The computer can't connect to the remote computer." when using Remote Desktop.
It was working a few minutes ago.
A while ago I suspected that someone knew the password for the box. I did change it at the time, and thought the issue was solved. Is it possible to turn off remote desktop remotely (whilst using remote desktop).
Power cycling the server isn't making any difference.
Any other options other than putting in a support request at the host?
