How To Add Cron To Restart Apache Server Every Three Hours
My host is experiencing "issues" with my WordPress. It keeps going above their upper limit of open MySQL connections. So, while I am diagnosing it, I need to restart the server every few hours to avoid it going down.
How do I write a cron to restart Apache every 3 hours?

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?

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 .......

How To Add An IP In VMWare Server 2? Add On The VPS Directly Or First On The Host?
I have configured and install VMWare Server on my server and currently trying to install Plesk. I have gotten the network working so I can download. I want to give the VMWare Virtual Machine it's own IP so I can connect via PuTTY instead of the console, which e.g. does not let me paste url's (plesk download url is long). I am planning to host a few websites on the Plesk Virtual Machine. I have added the IP my network provider given me using 'setup' in CentOS and it's listed in /sbin/ifconfig, but does not work yet. Do I first need to add the ip to the host server self? Or can a VPS directly use an ip? (PS: Do I use too many hard breaks in my texts?)

Restart Apache
I have 8 apache servers that is sharing one httpd.conf file... When changes made in the httpd.conf, you have you restart httpd... How can I restart all 8 servers at the same time instead of logging into each server and do it manually?

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? If so, will they recreate themselves?

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.

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?

Cron - Not Working - 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.

Leaseweb: 43 Hours Server Down! What Can I Do
I'm not a direct client of Leaseweb, but it's not a secret that my domain is pointing at their servers. I purchased a shared hosting plan from a reseller and since more than 43 hours my domain is down! My provider (the reseller) said he's waiting for Leaseweb support... according to my informations, in more than 24 hours they just made a reboot of the server! I'm really bored of waiting with no chance of intervention! My provider says he can't do anything from his side, i can't contact Leaseweb cause i'm not a client... please, help, what can i do? I need my site back online!

Host Which Would Set Up Server Or VPS Fast (up To 1-2 Hours)
Somebody posted a video in my website which got viral. Many big websites (like gizmodo) embeded it and I've maxed out my 100mbit/s connection. Traffic is increasing and my website started crashing. I want to move that video to other server ASAP so my website would stop crashing. Do you know any host which would set up server or VPS fast (up to 1-2 hours)?

Email Arrive With -2 Hours Difference From Server Time Config.
On a rhel 5.3 + cpanel server, i have a time problem. Web apps, as joomla show articles with a -2 hours time difference, or even webmail clients like roundcube are showing a wrong time when an email arrives. It seems this apps are not picking up the server time. Both things (joomla and webmail) should use the configured server time. I know Joomla can be fixed using the time zone option, and webmail too.. but in a server with over 300 websites, there are many joomlas installations and even more mailboxes... /etc/sysconfig/clock have the right time zone.

Server Restart
I'm on my first VPS with Virtuozzo / WHM and I'm wondering about what some general guidelines regarding best practices are in regards to restarting services and or the server. Specifically, I'm wondering what a good time frame it to restart the server and sevices. I've been told VZ doesn't need to be restarted, but I figured that by restarting VZ, I restart everything at once... is this bad? How often should I do this or not do this? Alternatively, if I just restart specific services, what is your experience on a good timeline and what services are important to restart? I've read that mysql doesn't need to be restarted, but am wondering EXIM, http server, dns server, pop3 server, imap server, etc.... specifically what good schedule would be regarding restarting. I'm simply trying to avoid issues that may occur due to not restarting and trying to be proactive as my clients are extremely important to me... ...

Remotely Restart A Server By IP
I don't know if this is possible after searching on the internet for solutions. Here is the problem. I recently logged off my colocated server 2 days ago, and have been trying to log into it again like I always do using remote desktop. Each time I try it gives me this following error: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. Try connecting again. If the problem continues, contact the owner of the remote computer or your network administrator." I've had this server colocated for about 5 months now and I've never had any issues connecting remotely to it. Seems like Remote Desktop got broken somehow, or it's being blocked? I am an admin with logins/passwords etc. The OS is Windows Server 2003 R2, I'm not connected to a remote reboot console. I don't want to have to call the data center for remote hands on support for a restart if that's not going to fix the issue, from what I've heard they charge quite a bit.

Should I Add 2nd Nameserver IP On Server
My provider just gave 1 IP and to be use as shared IP for every accounts created in the server. I also assigned that IP for my nameserver ns1.domain.com at my registrar. I was instructed also by my provider to use the next IP for the second nameserver which I also created at my registrar and created dns zone at the whm. All of the domains using that two IPs are working but I dont know why when I ping the second dns its not working. from Intodns.com its also showing nameserver 2 as an error.. My question is, do I need to add the second IP on the server/whm? you see when I go to WHM and click Show IP Address Usage I only see the first IP shared to all other domains. Somehow I'm expecting to see the second IP on the screen. Anyone can enlighten me? the server I got should have been a full management but my provider is somehow responding so slow.

Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal? Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know. I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours. I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly? He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting. Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone? And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?

How To Cron On Windows Server?
I truly love the 'cron' feature on Linux servers. This way I can schedule php scripts to do repetitive tasks on my website, but I plan to develop a asp.net website. Is this kind of scheduling scripts possible on Windows servers? Else how do I perform repetitive automatic tasks? It would be a shared hosting.

I have a VPS Setup which is running Cpanel, everything works fine apart from some of my clients Cron Jobs. Each user is trying to get cron to run a script to update a page. if they run the script from a browser then it works fine and the page is updated, however if they let cron run the script, it does not run and they get an error email from the server. E.g. ************************* Subject: Cron <xxx@xxx> php -f /home/xxx/public_html/1min.php From: "Cron Daemon" <xxx@xxx.xxx.co.uk> Date: Fri, January 18, 2008 12:55 am To: xxx@xxx.co.uk Priority: Normal Options: View Full Header | View Printable Version | Download this as a file No input file specified. ********************* I have check the server and everything seems to be fine, I have cron jobs running as part of WHMCS which all work fine, I just cant find the error.

Dedicated Server - How To Setup CRON
I'm trying to help out a friend with a dedicated server setup however we both don't know too much about it. We've setup apache, perl, sql all the standard stuff but cannot for the life of us setup a CRON job for a particular script. The dedicated server control panel is: WHM Accelerated. Our current websites have been setup on the server under the same user account (master). There doesn't seem to be the usual "CPANEL" options which you usually get with shared hosting however.
