Can somebody help me diagnose the problem and tell me what is wrong and what to do?


Thanks.

[carluk]

what does the following return:

Kernel:

uname -a

Usual suspects:

ps aux | grep httpd; ps aux | grep exim; ps aux | grep mysql

Then what's mysql doing?

mysqladmin processlist

Cpanel version:

/usr/local/cpanel/cpanel -V

Also out of interest whats your php and apache versions?

Under server status in WHM click "Apache Status" and see what apache it doing.

I would suggest upgrading to php 4.4.4 which you can do via /scripts/easyapache or probably easier via the WHM interface. Make sure 4.4.3 is de-selected before selecting 4.4.4

Also do:

/scripts/restartsrv_mysql

Has that resolved your load problems (the mysql restart)?

If you could post the following also I think you might have a mysql misconfiguration.

cat /etc/my.cnf

Also some information about your system:

Memory usage:

free -m

edit: my mistake for forgetting about the system information you gave up the first post.

[ReB]

probably easier via the WHM interface. Make sure 4.4.3 is de-selected before selecting 4.4.4

I don't see it the panel? How do you do this?

Thanks in advance.

[nickp666]

did you do a kernel upgrade recently? there have been multiple threads here about the 2.6.9-34.0.x.ELsmp kernel and load, increases with mysql, the answer was and is to upgrade to a newer kernel

[carluk]

It's under "Software" in WHM called "Apache Update".

[ReB]

/scripts/restartsrv_mysql : didn't solve the problem.

I'll check it out.

Not necessarily. Upgrading the Kernel is just one thing to solve high server load issue. It's perfectly normal to have 'spikes' in your Server Load. Peak visitor times, log processing, database backup scripts, automated cron jobs - all can cause 'spikes' in your server load. It's when the server load is constantly above 5.00 - that's the time to start asking questions. To read about the causes of high server load and how to solve it, go to:

given recent problems it most likely is the cause (Had the exact same scenario on a server of mine), hence my suggestion to upgrade

[ReB]

kernel update did the trick...it's now 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp

it's now stable at 2-3...it used to be 0.5-2.0 but that's just fine with me...probably just need a little tweak.

Thanks for the help guys.

Suggestions (not perfect, might need a bit tweaking for 4GB memory and what else you have on the server) based upon your current my.cnf

[mysqld]

sort_buffer_size = 6M

key_buffer = 512M
table_cache = 1024M
thread_cache_size = 286M
max_allowed_packet = 16M

query_cache_limit = 1M
query_cache_size = 32M
query_cache_type = 1
tmp_table_size = 96M

skip-locking

[mysqld_safe]

Additional info.

The server runs only one site...it's a pretty heavy traffic site...average users at peak hours (Normally business hours) would be around 1,000 - 1,200..

though like i mentioned awhile ago that load was 0.5-2...hardly made 3.0 then suddenly rocketed..

carluk, i'll experiment with your input. though i must say that i can not use the number for the max_connections. but everything else i taken a note of. thanks.

[ReB]

I guess I spoke too soon.

top - 09:14:15 up 8:37, 1 user, load average: 25.76, 16.23, 12.53
Tasks: 235 total, 4 running, 231 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 63.9% us, 35.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.8% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
Mem: 3115256k total, 1923964k used, 1191292k free, 133884k buffers
Swap: 4192924k total, 80k used, 4192844k free, 1126516k cached

This is at peak hours....before load never get past 3 at peak hours. we get same number of visits.
