I have a VPS with 768Mb of RAM which was always suitable for the websites I'm hosting
as most of them are not popular and none of them got high traffic recently at all
But for over 2 days the vps is eating the ram and killing all the services (cpanel/httpd/ftp/MySQL..)
I want to know what is causing this and stop it by any way
I contacted my vps support and they told me to write "top" in the SSH but I didn't understand any thing from what I see and I didn't know what to do after writing that command .
I remember long time ago when I used to host on Layered Tech fast network good stuff, affordable price my first server costed me 90 dollars on Layered Tech with about 20 dollar setup one time fee.
I visited today after about 2 years and I'm pretty much surprised to see their prices they are by no means affordable as they were previously and the setup fee is now 50 dollars on every server.
With such large number of servers in their data centers shouldn't they be able to make them affordable? yet I have seen same server on WHT ads section for fraction of the price LT expects and not to mention the excessive setup fee.
I'm not complaining, its their business, but is it really helping them? I cant be the only person feeling this anti-love for Layered Tech being a former LT customer, I had no problems with them or their services I just left after I sold my site and moved into VPS. But seeing the new prices its a bit shocking.
trying to get mod_security installed on my HSphere server, the install goes ok until i try and load rules?
If i just load the exclude.conf rule then php sites work, if i also load rules.conf or any other rules then my php sites get 'connection refused error' ?
I cannot find any thing in logs and there is no log written for mod_security?
here is my modsecurity.conf

I have a VPS with 256m guaranteed RAM .. and I have CPanel. A couple of days ago I got to fiddling with a database issue and had phpMyAdmin open for the better part of an hour. So I got to wondering what something like that does to my VPS?
A secondary question .. same thing but on a dedicated server with 1g RAM?
guys im tired off fighting those hackers everyday! i have about 20 websites,and everyday i have one of them hacked! i restore a backup then another one hacked!
thats unbelivable!!!
those bastards upload there shell scripts to websites via bugs or whatever from php files!!
is there anyway to stop these commands?
can .htaccess helps? how?
i talked to my webhosting companies for my websites! ....
Virtuozzo 3.0 is killing VPS's /usr/bin/mysqld_safe process but leaving /usr/sbin/mysqld UP which is causing cPanel to be unable to automatically restart MySQL after that.
I have a fairly unique problem. My server runs great 95% of the time. Loads average under 1. However backups have become a server killer. I use cpanel scheduled backup at early morning hours. The reason backups kill my server is that I have 300,000+ (and counting) images in a directory. They are all small pngs generated by LaTeX. It takes my server several hours to backup the images. I usually even have to stop apache to free up some power. This problem is only going to get worse as I get more images. Maybe I could upgrade proc or upgrade to faster HD? That would be costly, hopefully not.
Should I hire a professional backup service? Costly, and would that help? Or is there a way of storing the images or doing the cpbackup I am doing wrong?
My nobody_check is killing a process that seems to be o.k. but I'm not sure. The process is running /usr/bin/perl-bin which I never heard of. I thought it was /usr/bin/perl
Should I be concerned? Again, I don't know what /perl-bin is.
So we've got a client setup with 2 domains; 1 main and 1 secondary.
The secondary domain is a 301 redirect with masking through GoDaddy. The reason for the masking is because we need the domain name to stay the same after the redirect. (So people who come in on DomainB will only see DomainB in the url bar.)
The problem: GoDaddy has uses a "zero frame" element to implement the masking and it's messing up the display of our site.
Note: The display only screws up in IE.
Primary domain: www.BristolCountyWomensJournal.com --> (This works fine.) 301 domain: www.WomensJournals.com --> (Check out the messy background!)
We're running on Linux/Apache/MySQL/RoR and have a number of cron jobs that run throughout the day on our server. We've been noticing lately that at certain times of the day the site becomes really slow. When I'm online with my engineers I can mention this to them and they can check and see and say "Oh yeah, it's job XYZ that's spiking the server load."
That's great but much of the time when I notice the sluggishness my developers are offline (we're in different time zones). I'm wondering if there's a fairly easy way to track this when they're not online so we can say "Yup, last night at 10 PM your time when you noticed that it was job ABC." There has to be something that allows you to do this right?
