PHP Session Locks - High Io Wait
Feb 11, 2008For the past couple of days, I've noticed that there is alot of apache processes running in the "D" state and that my IO wait is up to %80. I straced one of the processes and the result is its locking on a php session:
$ strace -p 3230
06:57:12 open("/var/lib/php/session/sess_86ecf346c6f7adba93cb1077f6b95d43", O_RDWR|O_CREAT,
0600) = 44
06:57:12 flock(44, LOCK_EX
And this is the output of lsof

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: High CPU Wait I/O And Load Average During Backup
May 20, 2014PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE
Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5.30 MU #44 CentOS 6.5 (Final) 64bit
2 of our our servers are suddenly experiencing high Wait I/O Times, and high Load Averages during the backup process. During this period the Plesk grinds to a halt, sometimes crashing out completely (although SSh is still possible. We have been in talks with our server suppliers (assuming this would be node related) however they have done a lot of testing etc. and categorically state the node is fine , with no other users affecting it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE : We backup the server using the scheduled backup service and Wait I/O immediately goes up.
ACTUAL RESULT: Plesk downtime / Website downtime
EXPECTED RESULT: No downtime, successful back up
Some other info :
All other processes (MYSQL, apache, Nginx etc) are all running between 1 - 10%
Partition "/usr" utilization 4.2% used (1.81 GB of 43.3 GB) (?)
Partition "/var" utilization 50.6% used (61.8 GB of 122 GB) (?)
We are struggling to identify what has changed on the server that would cause this sudden change.
Simultaneous Connections Wait
Jun 16, 2007I have Apache2 installed on my dedicated server. I would like to install a mod / configure my Apache Server in order to limit simultaneous connections / IP.
The thing that I want is that for example if I want a maximum of 2 simultaneous connections / IP, when that IP reaches the LIMIT, I would like to delay its next request, and NOT display him a 503 error like most mods DO.
LeaseWeb - Wait Two Weeks For Server Setup
Apr 1, 2009I've ordered server from LeaseWeb two weeks ago and still wait for the server setup. Its looks to slow for me - we are used to wait only a few hours for servers setup in datacanters in the US.
I'm afraid that such slow response will be also in response and level of the support. Do you think I should cancel this service and look for other provider in Europe? If yes please suggest such provider.
I've paid in advance by paypal for 3 month(~ 500 EURO). Do you think I will be able to cancel that payment?
Downtime, Switch Shared Hosts Or Wait It Out
Sep 2, 2008I'm with one of the big shared hosts. Support is patchy at best, which isn't a problem until you require help at which point it's agonising as you have to wait an age to get an unsatisfactory response.
At the moment the server I'm on is suffering from consistent outages (it's been up and down over the last few days). Support has been hard to get hold of at times (right now my site is completely unacceptable for me and there's no-one tending the live support chat - which is the only chance of getting a prompt response).
My question is should I be actively looking to improve my situation (it's amazingly frustrating to spend the best part of a day doing small updates, which because of instability, take hours instead of minutes) or should I just wait until it blows over (to be fair server issues tend to be fairly infrequent, but they do flair up every so often). I can't really afford to pay that much more than I am (say $20-$50 a month max) so am I stuck with shared hosting or is there anyway to pay a little more (my current package costs around $10 a month) to get better support and stability?
After a initial look around would something like MediaTemples GS or the low end MediaTemples dedicated virtual service be suitable? The pages do have moderate database use (a few forums and galleries) and use around 50GB a month bandwidth (which would climb slowly in future months)?
Kernel: TCP: Time Wait Bucket Table Overflow With VePortal
Oct 5, 2009Any one facing any issue when Running CPanel on the VPS.
I always seem to be getting these errors only for Cpanel VPS only.
kernel: TCP: time wait bucket table overflow
kernel: TCP: too many of orphaned sockets (90 in CT****)
Even Cpanel Install by SSH or VePortal gives the same error.
High Server Load / High Swap / Lots Of Httpd
Feb 20, 2008I have a cPanel server with 4GB RAM
My server hangs time to time, once or twice a day. This is the last status when it happens.
Server Load 75.90 (2 cpus)
Memory Used 92 %
Swap Used 65.78 %
When I was still inside SSH when it happens, the processes I can see inside "top" are a lot of httpd processes.
So I "killall -9 httpd", I had to do it 30~40 times
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
#killall -9 httpd
x 30~40 times until no pid process found & the server load is back to normal.
Before that, I check httpd fullstatus, they look very normal, same goes to what I see inside WHM Apache status & cpu usage status.
At first I thought it was a memory problem after consulting with a server admin, so I replaced all 4GB new ram stick (such a waste)
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: High Memory Usage - Swap So High
Nov 14, 2014This is my free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1998 1903 95 0 45 542
-/+ buffers/cache: 1315 683
Swap: 2662 36 2625
Not good ....
I got 5 wordpress and 5 statics website on this server and 100 visitors by 24H00 each day.
Question 1 : Why the memory is so low and the swap so high ?
Question 2 : Why i don't find high usage process in top command ?
Question 3 How can i resolve this problem ?
My Server Is Very Slow, High CPU, High Apache Load
Oct 31, 2009My server is very slow, High CPU, High Apache load....
I got a new server and i had setup a script on it.
No server tweaks has been done.
I run a filehosting site so it gets very slow when traffic is high.

Server High Load/high Mysql Usage
Jul 2, 2009I have a site that is eating up my server resources and need to know what the best solution for this is. I'm thinking of getting another server just for mysql but do not know what specs the server should be to handle the current traffic/database load and have the site run smoothly without slowing down to a snail's pace.
An alternative is to get another server just for the videos being served and leave the database and html on the current server. This is where I'm stuck and don't know what route to take with this.
My current server stats:
Dual Xeon 5130
4GB RAM
250GB
50 Mbit/sec
CentOS 3.9
Website traffic stats:
15,000 visitors/day
150,000 pageviews/day
Serving videos
I've attached screenshots of top and bandwidth usage per day. Hopefully with this information you could tell me if I need another server or if there are any things I can do to the current server to help things move faster.
High Load From High Iowait
Jul 2, 2008I am running in a High load problem lately. I have one of those cheap 1and1 servers which was running fine until 2 weeks ago. Once I rebooted accidentaly, it did not come back with some unrepairable kernel errors and I had to re-image it.
I chose to reimage the server with CentOS 5, for better support. The new re-image worked fine for some days, at least so I thought and now I am having high loads. The server crashes if not monitored every moment as the load is unpredictable.
Just a restart of the Apache will bring the server back to normality, but I am not sure if it is apache or some other script to be blamed.
I have beeing monitoring through apache server-status, but I cannot organize something unusual in the high load moments.
At this moment for example:

lsphp is my webserver (litespeed). The sleeping processes are my SHOUTcast servers.
The thing I am concerned about is the "94.3%ni". This is slowing down my server completely and I am not too sure of what it is. Can anyone shed any light on this?
High VPS Load
Jun 24, 2009My VPS holds about 80 domains and low-use accounts.
Every night, from around 1.30am, the load suddenly skyrockets and will usually be around 5 to 10 for a few hours. Occasionally it'll spike to 30+ for a few minutes.
I had some antispam software running, and a couple of other packages (mail queues, mail manage etc), so I disabled all of that and removed all the crontab entries etc.
It's not really made any difference.
I can see the load stats going back 8 hours, as part of the ASSP spam package (I've just left the ASSP server load cron running just so I can continue monitoring it!)
Can the apparent load on my VPS be caused by other VPS's on the same node?? So in reality, my load is fine but is being affected by other people's VPS's?
I hope that makes sense. I'm 99% sure that my VPS is 'clean' (in so far as cron entries)
I'm asking the question because I took a second VPS on the same node and that one too has high loads overnight when there's nothing running on it (ie, no add-on software, no Cpanel accounts added)
What Causes High Load
Apr 19, 2009I have a VPS with LXadmin control panel and 1024 Ram.
the memory always 333-450 but now it is more than 800 and the VPS stopped I restarted it many times but after restarting it the memory gone crazy again.
So, how to know what causes high load and eating my Memory?
High Badwidth VPS
Apr 25, 2009Anyone know of any good/cheap high-bandwidth VPS providers? Don't need anything crazy as far as processing power or RAM (512MB with no burstable is fine). Sorta like Slicebox's budget servers, which I've had good experience with.
To e upfront, the box will be used for a little bit of testing, etc. but mostly to seed the latest Windows 7 builds :p. Don't think Microsoft minds all that much...Win7 requires a legitimate beta key to activate (which I have, and I'm not giving anyone mine) and it's a whole lot cheap for them to let people download over BitTorrent than Akamai, which they normally use.
So, any ideas? EU isn't out of the question...anywhere with a lot of/unmetered bandwidth for cheap, and a VPS that's reliable + has at least 512MB of memory for prices comparable (or slightly lower than) to Slicebox.
Does Sql Uses High Bandwidth
Jun 16, 2009I've a remote download site that uses tons of BW (about 900GB daily), and it uses sql connection quite alot - I've set it to max connection for my current server.
For now, I've the intention of separating main site with download server. where The main site will contains the sql DB. But my concern is, I want to buy a cheap VPS for the main site, but no idea if I need high BW and ram.
High Swap
Mar 31, 2009I've got a dedicated with LW.
I've had it for a while and during that time I've never seen the swap memory go over 20%.
A month or so ago, I had the server upgraded to 8GB of ram to make room for more planned sites.
Since then, the swap memory has gone rampant. It regulary goes to 93% used with less than 20% of the regular ram and really no load on the server.
I've contacted support twice about it and was told don't worry it's normal.
From what I've read in the cpanel forum, no it's not normal and may in fact be caused by bad ram chips and if it hits 100% could freeze the server.
There are no processes or users causing it, so It's something else.
Has anybody had this type of problem that they resolved and could share what they did to resolve it?
High End Quadcore Cpu
May 12, 2009What is the point of a high end quadcore cpu with 7200 rpm sata drives ?
i see tons of offers with really nice cpu's with either a single sata drive or 2 drives on crappy fake raid.
I have old dual single core xeon servers under 50% cpu usage that end up hitting the disk IO wall before they ever get to over 60% cpu usage.
Either me and my customers dont user software thats crap and eats up cpu for no reason or im missing something.
Vps High Usage
Oct 21, 2009i have a vps and its quite a new one since i just ordered it and transfered everything from my previous..
But im getting really high cpu useage and im wanting to know whats best ways to optimize this...
High Bandwidth VPS
Jan 2, 2009I host a podcast that's rapidly gaining popularity. At the moment, we push about 100gb/day of transfer for the episodes, but could easily double that in the next few months. I need a host that does at least 2tb a month with the ability to later upgrade to more. My operating budget is about 110$/month, but could go a little higher if needed.
Most of our activity is composed of sending files, so usage is pretty low. I'd probably only need a few gb to store the actual content (30mb mp3 files). It's also important that Adult material is allowed (the content of the audio podcast is explicit).
I'm aware of FDC and AT&T, but would like any other recommendations you guys could give.
Random High I/O

Reason For High DNS TTL
Jun 10, 2008Is there a reason to set a high TTL for DNS? Like the standard is a few days.I set mine to 10 minutes. So whenever I do a change its propagated within 10 minutes. 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,

What Causes High CPU Usage
May 22, 2008I know about high CPU usage and how it works against a webmaster when his host decides to suspend an account over this.
My question is what kinds of scripts usually cause CPU Usage to bulk up.
Basically what the script is doing, that just makes it happen.
I tried Google, but i guess poor choice of keywords .
