Auto Restart Apache On Cron
ive got a fairly beefy server but at the moment its hosting alot of resource intensive sites (unfortunatly i dont currently have a choice on where to run them all) and apache is crashing to the point its taking upto 2 mins to load pages within about 24hours but once restarted is fine again. so im wondering if anyone can suggest a way to automaticly restart apache via a cron job every 24hours or so?

Apache Auto-restart Script (crontab)
I have root ssh access to a server and we notice when doing a bash ./mysq-backup script to dump the data from the web site's databases into .sql and .tgz them that httpd goes down sometimes. That, and sometimes it seems that httpd goes down in other situations. All fine, we will figure out why. But .. It would be nice to run a crontab to check every 15 minutes if httpd is running, if not, to restart it. Right now I when I notice the site is down I log into the ssh as root and type: service httpd restart. If it is up it will then first stop it, and restart it. I can look at the screen and see it happen, so I feel pretty safe doing this. One of my concerns is that when I am not at the screen and it stays down .. I do not notice this and downtime increases. And we don't want to just crontab service httpd restart, so a bash script to check for the pid and restart if it down .. would be nice. I thought this would work: (chmod 755 httpdcheck) Code: delta:~ root# cat httpdcheck #!/bin/bash if [ ! "$(pidof httpd)" ] then echo "Could not find pid of httpd - restarting" service httpd restart else echo "Found pid of httpd - NO need to restart" fi delta:~ root# And I have this crontab entry: Code: delta:~ root# crontab -l */5 * * * * /root/httpdcheck | mail my@email delta:~ root# When testing, I did service httpd stop and waited 5 minutes and I received the email : could not find it, restarting. But when I go to the web site in browser it remains down. I have to login to ssh and do service httpd start manually to really load it. Manually loading btw .. shows it works as bash script just fine, so I dont't know why it won't work when run from cron? Code: delta:~ root# ./httpdcheck Could not find pid of httpd - restarting Stopping httpd: [FAILED] Starting httpd: [ OK ] delta:~ root# So .. when is it going wrong? Am I forgetting something?

Is anyone experiencing that cpanel automatically restarts mysql at 2AM? I'm curious is that new feature or something has gone wrong? This has started after cpanel upgrade mysql to 5.0.67 version. I'm not so good with cpanel so please can somebody tell me where cpanel holds its crons? I cannot find nothing in /etc/cron.* or in cron -l, and I want to turn this option off.

Auto Restart Lighttpd When Error
I woke up this morning and saw my site say "500 internal server error". I restarted lighttpd and it works again. I check the logs and see: 2008-01-05 08:39:16: (mod_fastcgi.c.2885) backend died; we'll disable it for 5 seconds and send the request to another backend instead: reconnects: 2 load: 1 2008-01-05 08:39:21: (server.c.1470) server stopped by UID = 0 PID = 6391 Is there a way to get lighttpd to restart automatically when it has these errors?

Cron Job Not Working, Restart Services
I'm having a bit of trouble with one cron job that doesn't seem to work. I have others scripts that run hourly fine. However this one does not. The script: restart_monitoring.sh Code: #!/bin/bash service iptables stop service iptables start /root/bandwidth_rules.sh /root/portforward_config.sh exit The two scripts at the end just load a lot of iptables rules back in. The cron job should run hourly (59th minute) The cron job entry Code: 59 * * * * /root/restart_monitoring.sh I have restart crond to enable the new job, still doesn't run. The job is to restart iptables, thus flushing all rules that I have running, then reloading them. I have figured out the problem to be with the "service iptables stop/start" command, it doesn't seem to like doing this...?

Howto: Automatically Verify Cron / Crond Is Running And Restart If Not
This one's pretty simple really, but given the fact that I'm constantly running into crond stops with CPanel servers (no clue why, or where, but it's happening), I'll post this here. If it helps someone, then great, if not, hey, no worries. Firstly, login as root to your server through ssh, however you usually do . Next, the script (we'll call it /bin/croncheck.sh). Use whatever editor you choose to create the file. #!/bin/bash .......

Can't Restart Apache
We are unable to restart apache on our server, as a result no sites are accessible in the browser. Our host states we need to clear out the following files: [root@server1 logs]# ls -lAh|grep -v ' 0 ' total 1.9G -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92M Jul 17 07:55 access_log -rw-r----- 1 root root 463K Dec 9 2007 audit_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2G Jul 17 07:57 error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 17 07:42 httpd.pid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92K Feb 18 2008 ssl_engine_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 535M Jul 17 07:46 suexec_log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 Jul 17 03:21 suexec_log.offset -rw------- 1 root nobody 5.6M Dec 10 2007 suphp_log Is it ok to simply delete these files?

Apache Down - Can't Restart
I'm running Apache 2.0.52 on a CentOS 4.4 server. Running two static sites and one CMS. I have no trouble logging in through SSH Also no problem accessing webmin on port 10000 I've tried to restart Apache httpd And tried to reboot the server... Nothing. I recently did a Yum Update, also removed ISPconfig - it's probably the latter thats the problem, although I haven't used it - at all - just playing around setting up PHPmyadmin, Squirrelmail and a couple of email accounts. But the only error log output I get is that there are no virtual servers for 88.198.81.186:80 and 88.198.81.187:80 and Unable to open logs | unable to start piped log program Since the update and removal of ISPconfig 4-5 days ago there hasn't been any issues. I haven't done anything. Yet I do think might be some of the old ISPconfig settings acting up.

Apache Won't Restart (FreeBSD 6.1)
Server runs FreeBSD 6.1 and WHM/CPanel. Everything was working as usual, no changes were being made to the server, and all of a sudden all the web sites went down. WHM and CPanel and SSH remained accessible. Restarting Apache (HTTPD) through WHM gives an error: "httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin." Rebooting the server didn't help, httpd still won't restart. Attempting to do it via SSH gives this error: server# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart: httpd not running, trying to start Syntax error on line 210 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.14: Undefined symbol "gethostbyname_r" /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart: httpd could not be started # tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log only shows some standard http errors for files not being found.

Apache Restart Issue
I am having an issue with apache. Want to know how people are running huge forums having 700 800 users online at a time. I am currently running a single forum having peak users upto 250, making posts and downloading files from within forum. Its running on dual opteron with 2 gig ram and its database is hosted on another cross connected dual opteron + 2 gig ram server. Although there are enough resources, no load is there but still apache just crahsed and restarts after 4 min interval. As it seems apache gets out of resources and crashes. how to allow apache to use more ram and cpu so that it simply don't crash.

What Would Cause Apache To Restart And Not Compile PHP
Today I got the devastating and heart-stopping news that all administraters fear most: "I'm looking at your website, and something's terribly wrong!!!" The person went on to say that each page was just "filled with code ro something." When I finally saw it myself I discovered that my raw PHP pages were being served to the end user with no compilation --all of my top secret code; a real nightmare. I went to look at the error logs and found that for several restarts Apache had not been compiling PHP. It usually looks like this: Quote: [Wed Apr 18 18:35:11 2007] [notice] bandwidth monitoring enabled (mapping file: /etc/virtualhosting/mappings/apache.domainmap) [Wed Apr 18 18:35:11 2007] [notice] Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a mod_fastcgi/2.2.10 mod_jk/1.2.0 mod_perl/1.24_01 PHP/4.2.2 FrontPage/5.0.2 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b configured -- resuming normal operations [Wed Apr 18 18:35:11 2007] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [Wed Apr 18 18:35:11 2007] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) [Wed Apr 18 18:35:11 2007] [notice] FastCGI: process manager initialized (pid 16385) But now it looked like this: Quote: [Sun Apr 22 04:02:18 2007] [notice] Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_gzip/1.3.19.1a configured -- resuming normal operations [Sun Apr 22 04:02:18 2007] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [Sun Apr 22 04:02:18 2007] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9/nonexistentfile.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/adserver/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/phpAdsNew/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/phpadsnew/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/phpads/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/Ads/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/ads/adxmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/blog/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/drupal/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/community/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/blogs/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/blogs/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/blog/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/blogtest/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/b2/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/b2evo/xmlsrv/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/wordpress/xmlrpc.php [Sun Apr 22 21:21:57 2007] [error] [client 209.85.60.98] File does not exist: /var/www/html/phpgroupware/xmlrpc.php [Mon Apr 23 04:02:21 2007] [notice] SIGUSR1 received. Doing graceful restart WTH? I could be WAAAY off base, but my first reaction was that I'd been hacked -- someone had found a way to disable PHP so they could find sensitive information in raw PHP pages. That could be totally wrong. At any rate, even if I never learn why Apache sometimes will compile without PHP (and some other modules) without me telling it to do so, I'd like to be prepared for an embarassment like like this. Is there any way, say, in the .htaccess file (or anywhere, anyway), I can tell Apache not to serve **ANY** pages unless the PHP module is present?

Apache Does Not Restart After Editing Httpd.conf
I am having a problem on my VPS. I am running the latest version of Apache on Windows Server 2K3, and after editing httpd.conf to allow virtual hosts (#Include /conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf) and trying to restart the service, an error appears saying the operation failed. I have even tried restarting/starting the service via services.msc If I am not using the default httpd.conf Apache will not restart at all... it is very strange. I have also tried doing a repair of the installation of Apache.

I did not realize the significance of the Apache sub-forum. I thought perhaps this would be a more general Server management query, but I realize now I should have posted in Apache forum. I have been banging my head against the wall for the last couple of days trying to get cron jobs working. It's actually making me quite depressed, a lot of people are waiting on me to get this working, and for the life of me I see no light. I'm not a stupid person, i'm a PHP developer, and have some linux skills. This is the single most annoying issue I have had to deal with simply because I cannot find any troubleshooting methods to my issue. I have tried every different combination of command under the sun and I cannot get any sign that the cron is running the commands. I own a "virtual" dedicated server with a hosting company, I have full root access. Linux / Apache The script file is a PHP file which simply mail() an email saying that cron is working, I am yet to receive this mail that was executed by cron. I have ensured there are no errors in this simple PHP file, I have executed the script from the shell and all is well there.. So, firstly I tried to setup the cron table from CPanel, on the account where the script resides. I used the following command combinations: Code: 0-59 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/cron.php 0-59 * * * * php -q /home/username/public_html/cron.php 0-59 * * * * php /home/username/public_html/cron.php 0-59 * * * * cd "/home/username/public_html/"; php cron.php 0-59 * * * * wget [url] with time combinations of: * * * * * to get the command to be executed evey minute, for testing purposes. All these commands work fine when executed through the shell. I set the mail address for cron output to be my mail address also. I do not get any mail from cpanel with an overview of the cron executions. I then gave up trying to get cron to work on that account, and decided to go root. I logged into the shell via root, checked the cron table for root. I edited the root cron table (that contains commands for various cpanel scripts etc) to include a command to execute the php script, even with the script residing on the root directory. I also added MAILTO="myemail@email.com" to the first line of the cron table. I do not get any emails of the cron actions. How can I check if the cron scheduler is working when I get no sign that the cron commands are being executed, and when I do not receive any cron emails? What methods are there for me to troubleshoot this issue? Could it be possible that cron shedular is not active on my server? I have lurked the net with great detail to find any method to troubleshoot my issue, and all the related pages I find are to do with troubleshooting the commands. I know my commands are fine, there is some other issue here.

Do Exchange Auto-responders Reply To Auto-responders
I have an address that receives hundreds and hundreds of e-mails a day. It's an address people aren't supposed to use (basically noreply@mydomain.com), but people do. I'd like to stop being the guy that gets these and routes them as appropriate, but we can't just turn it off and cause a hard bounce, because that will bewilder too many people who don't get that replying to noreply@mydomain.com is a bad idea. (Our website sends out notifications to people. A lot of people reply for various strange reasons, and we also get a lot of autoresponders sending us junk.) I'm a Linux admin, so I'm a bit out of my league -- this needs to be configured on our Exchange box. What I'd really like is an auto-responder for this address that will tell people that they e-mailed a mailbox that no one uses, and give them directions on how to contact a real person if need be. However, fully half of the e-mails we receive are people's auto-responders. Is an Exchange auto-responder going to reply to their auto-responder? This will completely bewilder people. And if this will auto-respond to auto-responders, is there a cleaner solution here? Again, it's got to be Exchange, but I'm a Postfix guy, so I have very little experience here.

Email Auto Forward
I have signed up for hostgators webhosting. Upon setting up, I found out that outgoing mails from any email addresses from my domain name cannot be copied to another email account. I've tried scripting on the client software (e.g)outlook. it works. but then again, it only applies on the client side if the scripted client is present. this would not work if the email is sent from the web based login. is there a work around for it? If there isn't, does any one know of any webhosting co. that allows that? Situation is, my current host does allow it. Due to small amount of disk space allocated, reliability of the service, technical support and cost, we therefore have decided to switch to another host.

Auto Upgrading Hosting
Are there any hosting solutions that offer expanding bandwidth and space as their base packages increase. I was with Dixiesys for over 7 years, and had a decent package, but it was getting a bit outated. When I enquired, they required me to either pay more for a mid-grade package, or give up portions of my package for an equivalantly priced low-grade package. I'd rather a company automatically upgrade accounts as they upgrade their base packages, rather than being told to piss off when the package becomes outdated.

I am wondering does anyone know of either a program/software, and/or script that will auto build a dedicated server? For example, someone purchase my product as soon as it is verified than it starts the building process and builds the server to what they asked for, partitioning, etc.?

To Turn On My Auto-responder
My webhost's autoresponder does not keep track of who it has auto-responded to. Hence it will auto-respond back to the same person twice. Some emailer might send me an email (most likely spam) and I would auto-respond. But that emailer also has a dumb auto-responder and response back to me. I would auto-respond back; it would auto-respsond back forever. I'm afraid to turn on an "Out-of Office" auto-responder because if that happens, I would have a billizion emails in my inbox upon my return. Is there a smart auto-responder that tracks who it has responded to and auto-repsonds to the same person only once?

Auto Updating Postfix
I have searched the whole forum for help on this but couldnt find anything. I have postfix running on a backup mx server for a plesk box. The backup mx does a very good job of reducing spam and virus to my plesk box thanks to mailscanner. The problem i have now is i have to manually update postfix transport and relay_recipients file everytime a new domain is created in plesk. Do any one know how i can create a custom script that will pull domain information from my plesk box and will update postfix on the backup mx server. Maybe a website with information that can help. i can always set a cron to run the postmap command to update the tables but i will need to update the respective files (transport, relay_recipients) first.

Auto Backup A Folder
I have all my computers hooked up to a server running Ubuntu Linux. I want to make it so that at say, 5 AM every morning, the computer checks for changes to a specific folder..and if there are, automatically transfer the files to the server. This way, if anyone on my network needs something backed up they just put it in that folder and it will auto backup just in case. Is there anyway to do this? Software?

I Need One Like Hostgator But With Reliable Auto-backups
I'm a happy hostgator user. I just don't like their lack of a good backup system. They just say they're doing weekly backups that you can ask for a fee. I'd like an hosting exactly like hostgator (well, similar) but with daily and weekly auto-backups on a secure storage (like read-only tapes etc.). Do you know some? I've heard about a backups system by R1soft and that some hosting companies use it, but those that I'm finding on Google I've never heard of them. One is HawkHost that seems good but I'm not sure about their choice of using LiteSpeed webserver instead of Apache.. They say it's a faster web server.. but of course the server won't run faster, they would just fill in more clients on every server..

Auto Suspend Of Accounts In Plesk
I have Linux and Windows server with Plesk 8.6 as the control panel and now the issue is that there is no option to auto suspend the accounts which are using over the quota(Diskspace or Traffic). All I have to manually check the accounts and to suspend, which I think not good. Is there any option to get the accounts auto suspended once they reached the limits. In the Notifications area, sending mails to clients regarding the quota, but no option to suspend the accounts.

Auto Shutdown When Load Is Too High? (SolarVPS)
I am a SolarVPS customer. So far, I have been really happy with their service - setup was very smooth, I had to contact support a couple of times at the start and they were really quick, and otherwise I've had simply no problems. I was alerted yesterday to the fact that my site was down. I immediately logged into the box, and found that Apache and MySQL had stalled. I restarted them, and everything was ok. So then I started to look into the problem. Then I noticed this in my logs: Sep 3 23:07:26 myvps shutdown[26281]: shutting down for system halt Sep 3 23:08:41 myvps exiting on signal 15 Sep 4 03:14:22 myvps syslogd 1.4.1#18: restart. It seems that my VPS was shut down for 4 hours and then brought back up. My Apache and MySQL didn't come back up properly after the restart (ok, my fault here, a configuration issue), so I was down for about 17 hours. Anyway, I didn't do this shutdown, and I don't think my box was hacked and someone else did it, because even if they did, by my reasoning, it wouldn't have been down for 4 hours. So I wrote an email to SolarVPS. They got back to me really quickly, asking me to send my server ip's and my root password (I had initially only sent my customer number). I was not really happy sending my root password over email to them, so I just sent them the server IP's. I then got an email back saying that it was standard procedure to send my root password to the over email, and that it was secure because their helpdesk is secure. I don't know how they are securing the email connection from me to their helpdesk though (of course, it isn't secure, because email is sent in plain text), so I still haven't sent them this. I don't need them to log into my server anyway, I can see that it went down, I just wanted to know if they had brought the machine down for a reason. The whole root password over email thing is not the problem anyway. What concerned me is the rest of their response. They told me that they had not brought the machine down on purpose. I sent them the log lines I pasted above, and their response was: - shows that your VPS has been shut down, just like the owner of the VPS would have shut it down using "halt" command. This issue appears when the VPS is overloaded (RAM is almost 100% used, and CPU is upto 90-100%), and in this case Virtouzzo shuts the VPS down in order to avoid resources abuse on the entire node and not to affect the other VPS's. This is the part that concerns me. As I understood it, the Virtualization software is there to keep you in a box, and restrict the amount of resources that a person can take up so it doesn't affect others. If my server is under heavy load, I can understand if it becomes slow, but I don't find it acceptable for it to be shut down for 4 hours! Is this usual policy for VPS's? If this is the case, I guess I'm going to have to look for dedicated, because this is not acceptable to me. Although my server is rarely under high load, I don't want to have to worry that it might disappear for hours if it is. It would be great to hear some opinions from people with more experience in this area than me. If true, this is definitely something people should mention as a disadvantage to VPS's.
