I use Wordpress site on VPS with maxcdn and my apache (httpd) is falling few times a day when the site got more than 800 users active (according to google analytics).

The chkservd process attempts to connect to “127.0.0.1:80” in order to validate that this service is functioning. If you blocked connections with iptables or the “Host Access Control” interface in WHM, this failure may be a false positive.

To resolve this issue, either open the firewall to allow connections as the root user to “127.0.0.1:80” or disable checks for this service in WHM’s “Service Manager” interface with the “Configure Monitor Settings” link below.

thanks alot!!
