Well again post the whole top screen showing server load mem cpu free etc.

I can see you have all those processes running but to be honest I am not going to set there and wade thru them all trying to add them up to see % of cpu free and mem used etc.

If you want some help post the whole snap shot of information.

When you load top before doing snapshop do &shift+P& this will sort by CPU usage showing who is using the most. Then recreate snapshop. Then do &shift+m& this gives the memory hogs, then snapshop again.

Well first off it looks like that is a busy server. How many sites do you have on it?

Also what does the MySQL/Mem history in WHM show you as the top processes and how much mem cpu are they using?.

It also looks like you may have some scripts either forms or something maintaining constant connections to mysql databases.

 

[Skm74]

I have 20 Sites on it, ! is using a php game that uses mysql he have about 70 online all the time.

[techark]

Hmm well my guess is that is your problem there

&mysql 17.01 12.66 0.0&

Mysql is running processes all the time using your resources can you tweak your script to not use persistent connections if it is?

I had a customer using a script that had persistent connections turned on and he was consuming nealy 50% of the CPU he changed and now he is less than 2% on the same script and site.

 

[Skm74]

the server load blocks mail server (exim) It can´t send when server load is over 5.0 can i change that to 10 or something

 

[Skm74]

How do i tweak it ???

 

[techark]

I really do not know, but why would you want to? At a load of 10 I suspect that server is crawling as is.

While I have seen loads exceeding that and still working you are playing with crash territory and risk major data corruption in my opinion.

 

[Skm74]

Does it help if I move the database to an other server?

 

[marinanewman]

server load

I am having same problem.. seems like the cpanel is not letting one process shut down before it opens up more from same user.. my server load from one person in cpanel is up to 55cpu..

just keeps adding process after process to top and is making server inaccessible to the other users..

 

[nyy]

Anyone know anything about it?
I just have got this error now.
So many processes running from the same user.

All were working fine, and suddenly, the site doesn't work anymore.

Thanks,

[Doctor]

Are you guys running kernel 2.4.2x on a dual-thread server? If so, you need ot upgrade to kernel 2.6.3 to resolve the conflict problem.

 

[IRCdPR]

I have the same problem:

load average: 14.57, 9.90, 5.85

And the httpd cpu loading:

14186 root 16 0 1800 1800 836 S 90.6 0.3 2:06 0 httpd

90.6 is a cpu load

I see the problen when the pages running

Any Spaecial configuration to apache???

Only run 3 webpages in a server......

Ps: Excuse my english

 

[POLVIP]

i had the same problem, checked my rootkit and ooops got someone
do the same thing
