Apache Overloading Due To Requests To My Main Domain Name Server (DNS) Name
Jan 19, 2008
I currently have a web VPS hosted with FDCServers.net and after 5 days of switching to it i am getting massive HTTP requests. When i login to WHM and hit apache status i have many requests per second by multiple IP's that are going to pages that simple don't exist. Currently my hostname for the server is set at web-01.optical-hosting.com which is what the requests are being sent to. I am also having a DNS issue because when i put http://web-01.optical-hosting.com in the web browser it displays the first account's site under "list accounts" in cpanel. Can someone please help me fix both of these issue's? i will post an apache log in a second post as it is long. Also, these are from overseas. please someone help me with this i have Aim and Msn.

I have maindomain.com addon-1.com addon-2.com addon-3.com
The addon domains are folders in main domain's root.
The problem is maindomain's htaccess is affecting the addon domains. I want the add on domains to have their own htaccess. The addon domains should not be influenced by main domain's htaccess
I did some research online and someone says this method works:
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon_domain.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
But the above assumes you only have one addon domain. I have multiple.
Which code is correct? This
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-1.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-2.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-3.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
Or this
Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-1.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-2.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?addon-3.com
RewriteRule .* - [L]
do I put the code at the beginning of main domain's htaccess?

I host my DNS with DNSmadeeasy.com , I noticed that I have daily more than 350.000 DNS requests for main domain, This domains got about 80.000 uniqes/day, so this is strange how can there be 350.000 DNS requests/day. Seems that I'll go over the quota because of this.
The TTL for all domains is set to 86400.
Is there a way to discover how its possible ? And also is there a way to do something to make this number lower (DNS requests)

I have my main domain (domain.com) and it is where all my sites and customer sites are pointed to (ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com).
I just purchased a VPS and have made (domain.com) my main domain as I want it to be because of keeping the nameservers the same for my clients.
My vision is this, I will transfer all the sites from my old cPanel account to my new DirectAdmin account. I have setup a time to let my clients know not to update any content on their sites. At that time I will then download the sites from the cPanel account to the DA account. I will then move my main domain (domain.com) over as well and then change the name server registries at namecheap.
I understand some things can get lost in this switch, but ALL clients are aware of this and understand. They will still have access to the old server via the IP address to check for misdirected mail.
Is this the simplest way to get this done?
Is there a better way, with using the main domain?

I've spent the last several months working on a huge upgrade of a couple dozen websites. The upgrades include modifying Apache so that visitors who arrive at links pointing to mysite/World/New_York are redirected to mysite/world/new-york. In other words, all my links now default to lower case, and underscores are replaced with dashes.
Unfortunately, publishing it has been an endless series of disasters. My websites are now all crashed, and the server is unbelievably slow. It takes pages forever to load (if they load at all), and I can scarcely publish files online.So the following notice sent to me by my webhost got my attention.
IT appears your own server IP is making GET requests to Apache, causing excessive loading and causing service failures. On today's date, your IP made almost 6,000 connections to Apache:<br><br>
[root@host ~]# grep 64.91.229.106 /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mysite.org | wc -l 5924 [root@host ~]#<br><br>
These were all the same request:<br><br>
64.91.229.106 - - [12/Apr/2014:08:10:10 -0400] "GET /404.php HTTP/1.0" 200 14294 "-" "-"<br><br>
And that made up the total of requests:<br><br>
[root@host ~]# grep 64.91.229.106 /usr/local/apache/domlogs/mysite.org | grep "GET /404.php HTTP/1.0" | wc -l 5924 [root@host ~]#<br><br>

Whenever I try to create a user account I get the following error
Sorry, resellers are not permitted to create subdomains of the server's main domain
My server domain is www.domain.com and reseller is trying to create a user account like new.domain.com . It was working fine a few weeks back but I think since I upgraded the cpanel and whm, it doesnt allow creation of accounts anymore.
Could someone help me to fix this error please?
I own the VPS and the reseller and all other accounts.

My Linux Server's Http Daemon (Apache) would stop serving websites ever so often, as soon as apache is restarted the error fixes iteself only to resurface within few hours.
The apache process would still be running i.e. apache does not die but no websites hosted on my server would be accessible from browser. And when this happens the apache logs do not log any http requests.
Instead when this happens all http requests to my server would be redirected to some weird Trojan website and my Norton Antivirus would show an Alert/Warning, for example;
"Browser exploit at www.xxx.xxx was blocked"
Risk Name: MSIE WebViewFolderIcon ActiveX Control BO
or another error like;
"Auto-Protect has detected Trojan.Fakeavalert".
At first i thought the problem could be with my Laptop/ISP so i logged on to the server via SSH and opened try to open a website using command line "lynx mywebsite.com" and it shows following error;
"Alert!: HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable".
Now if i assume my laptop were to be infected, then as soon as i restart my apache and visit mywebsite.com eveything returns to normal with no such warnings. Why do i see those norton error messages only when apache is down with 503, and when apache is down with 503 how come the http requests always get redirected to some suspicious websites and nothing gets logged in apache error log?
I think my server is being attacked causing http to get unresponsive and thereafter http requests to my server are redirected to some malicious website, is this correct?
Also, i suspect this is a php script exploit as some customers have reported that google have blocked their website due to security reasons, i found <iframe> tage inserted in some php pages which i fixed.
Also, another thinh i noticed;
when apache responds with the 503 it is referencing PHP 5.1.4 in the header response:
[root@]# curl -I xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (my server ip)
HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.1.4
Retry-After: 20
I am running PHP 4.3.9m why does apache responds with PHP 5.1.4 when this 503 error surfaces?
Also, since my apache was dowan with 503 error a customer mailed in today saying;
"It seems that my site www.xxxx.com is regularly down, and the winlogon virus is involved."
I suspect this is again due to the fact that http requests start getting redirected?

My server has been running slow for a while now but I was out of twon so I was not able to check on it. I just got back and find that the server load is above 4.50 for a dual cpu server with 2GB ram. I have looked and all I can see is that there are a few sites using a good amount of resources. However, on my other server, I have sites that are even more busy then the ones on the server that is overloading. I cannot seem to find what is going on or what to do about it. Please help me. The sites are moving at a snails pace.

I know from past experiences, a VPS is not suppose to be setup on a sub domain for the main domain name account. My VPS was setup on a sub domain which is not allowing my domain name to resolve the with the DNS server. How to fix this issue?

My host has suspended saying my server was overloaded and sent me a log to my mail and i don't have access to cpanel also. I just have a wordpress blog and when i had contacted host through chat they told some ip might be causing this issue so ban that ip when ur account is unsuspended.
But i am really unaware of how to find which ip is causing this issue as i have little knowledge on analysing logs. Any help regarding this is highly appreciated and please leave your suggestions for me.
I am pasting the logs that were sent by host to me in mail:

I have a dedicated box with softlayer and I have noticed at varying times the past few months that with sites we host, sometimes the connection times out (I'll try to access like 5 or 6 sites within 30 seconds or so and they all drop, then a minute later they load fine).
I opened a support ticket and they said it usually has to do with the # of requests Apache can handle, and that this can be modified. They stated they could: "tweak the apache configuration file in this server that can make it possible to handle more requests."
So my question is what should the # of requests be set to? (I'm not sure what it is now, but I assume whatever the default # is).

I have recently just purchased an unmanaged vps from poundhost. I have never used a vps before so we shelled out for a WHM control panel! The issue now is that we do not have a nameserver set up or any main domain to use as a nameserver.
We have the main IP address and two additional IP's given to us by poundhost, how do I use these to start hosting and managing websites?

I have a domain name as per my sig. I am also creating a subdomain totally in contrast with that site below. My primary domain has one page on it so i would like to:
a) delete the one page on my primary domain
b) Make the contents of my subdomain my primary domain. e.g my domain is www.info-peep.com, my sub will be example.info-peep.com........i would like to make example.info-peep.com : www.info-peep.com......that make sense, as really the sub will be my main site.
Basically wanting to transfer the contents of my sub to my primary. So when people click info-peep.com, it will be the sub's site. Another thing to note is that i am using RVsitebuilder (WYSIWYG) that my web host provides. Also BEAR IN MIND the WYSIWYG editor does not allow me to move pages (sucks) or to copy the page contents.

We have an Apache acting as a reverse-proxy and listening on the Internet ("Our URL" on port 443).
We would have two ways of accessing this reverse-proxy:
-From a mobile app (authentication would be based on a corporate certificate)
-From any browser (authentication would be a login form)
The question is: can Apache forward requests to either server 1 or server 2, depending on whether a certificate is sent by the client?

After 12 hours of heavier load, the SSL requests stopped working/being answered. However if you requested the same page via http instead of https, it worked fine.

So I just upgraded Apache 2.2.22 to Apache 2.4.3 and made sure to go through all the options that had changed and update the conf file accordingly. This included adding the cache module for SSL and changing the SSLMutex option over to Mutex default ssl-cache. We also turned off SSLCompression due to the CRIME attack vulnerability.
We use apache strictly as a loadbalancer to 2 tomcat servers via mod_jk. Apache serves no static content at this time.
After being deployed, everything worked fine until later in the day. After 3 hours of heavier load (our site only takes significant traffic during business hours), the SSL requests stopped working/being answered. However if you requested the same page via http instead of https, it worked fine.
Restarting the Apache server fixes this, for a while. Again after a few hours of traffic, the https requests stopped working again. This time I turned the loglevel up to debug and restarted the Apache server.
As traffic slowed down it took another 6 or 7 hours before SSL requests stopped working again. I checked the logs, and nothing notable, the mod_ssl entries just... stopped. (I don't know for sure its ammount of traffic related, it just seems that way)
I have tried reproducing this in a lab, but have not been able to get it to happen on the lab server.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
Apache: 2.4.3 vc9 build with OpenSSL 0.9.8 downloaded from apachelounge.org
Mod_JK Version 1.2.37 vc9 also downloaded from apachelounge.

I have a little problem (on my Raspberry) with the maximum concurrent connections.When I open multiple tabs of a webpage which keeps persistent connections, apache is unable to serve more requests.Here is the (shortened) mod_info output (which also takes some time till there is a process kind enough to serve the request):
Code:
Server Version: Apache/2.4.10 (Raspbian) OpenSSL/1.0.1k
Server MPM: prefork
5 requests currently being processed, 9 idle workers
.___W____WWW_..W_...............................................
................................................................
......................
Srv PID Acc M CPU SS Req Conn Child Slot Client VHost Request
[Code] ....
When I understood it correctly, apache should spawn new processes (up to MaxRequestWorkers=150)
But there are idle???? processes, so it wont add new ones?
I dont think it has to do with mod_proxy (used for the webpage) since the mod_info output is affected as well...

When trying to make a subdomain on my main cpanel domain, through cpanel, it acts like it is making it, and adds the dns entry, but it does not work. All other domains work fine.
I submitted a ticket to buycpanel, they asked for the login information this morning, and have not heard back from them. This has happened every since they installed cpanel.
I am hoping its something simple that one of you knowledgeable people may know how to fix.

A weird thing happents once on few days on my server, and it's not a regular thing or on exact time.
When I have this problem no page can be loaded in the browser, but WHM is working, i think because it's accessed by IP .
In apache status page I can see lots of ..reading.. requests which are there even for 10 - 20 seconds sometimes.
Usualy the server has 10 - 20 requests/s :
CPU Usage: u35146 s2297.05 cu2.74 cs4.5 - 6.97% CPU load
11.2 requests/sec - 83.0 kB/second - 7.4 kB/request
10 requests currently being processed, 8 idle servers
But when the ..reading.. requests appear it goes much higher like 100 to 200
11.5 requests/sec - 85.3 kB/second - 7.5 kB/request
200 requests currently being processed, 0 idle servers
after 3 minutes :
160 requests currently being processed, 30 idle servers
When I logged on to SSH I saw that there are ~150 conection from a single IP .

I have an Apache Server (2.4.3) and a Tomcat Server (7.0.36) and have some Java Applications deployed.Everything works fine, but when we start a quite long Ajax process, I see in my Java Application, that a Ajax request is received and starts processing - everything fine. But during processing of the first request, I see a second request starts after 5 minutes.
