Hi,
Im having a very wierd problem it seems every ten minutes or so, sometimes a bit longer i get these processes, either root or nobody as user that do not close and eventualy suck the life out of the cpus.
Ive tried every fix posted in these forums and so far no luck at fixing it. I have 5, dual zeon machines, each running a gig of memory. 4 of my machines have this problem in different degrees.
I cant match the processes to a site in Apache usage on WHM because they are no longer listed in apache processes although i do see then in the process list and when i call up top via ssh . I can sit and watch top and see thet process start and almost set my clock to thet server load rising. If I kill the process, usually a nobody one with a different pid one comes along and the only temp solution i have found is rebooting apache and then things are fine till the next http-DSSL process comes along and it doesnt seem to afftect anything till its been running for a few minutes which i dont think is normal.
Ive been running my servers on my own for 3 years and although self taught seem to have a good handle on thngs for the most part. This is the first time I have seen anything like this .
If i helps the machine that is the worst its the only I have that a master/slave (its thet slave) configturtaion or I should say the new clustering configuration which I suspect may be part of the problem. Dont know why they changed it, master/slave always worked fine for me in the past .
One last thing, if I kill the root process then kill the nobody one that always seems to show up, apache seems to crash as I cant access any webpages, although if i just reboot apache, processes disappear and server load drops to normal levels
First thought corupted apache, i have reinstalled numerous times as well as reinstalling exim. On the machine with the most problems Im running redhat 9 with cpanel 9.1 stable 93.
If anyone knows the source of my protblem and a fix I would be etertnally grateful.
Thanks in advance
