server surcharge

[Nassou]

Hi guys

i have a big big probleme with surcharge of my server and database error !


I think that a relationship with the hack: good now when I turn these hack is the catalyst:

Cyb - Statistics Advanced Forum
Latest X Threads Forum on Home
vBSEO
vBSEO:: Sitemap Generator

I looks on with TOP, so I watch httpd very frequent and mysqld

What is surprising is that the former host while niquel worked with these hack but this is the big overload what's more I really need this hack!

I present below my configuration:

httpd.conf

# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.

Well - please take a look first at your Apache / MySQL Configuration - specially the Apache one.
If the shown configuration is really running, this should be your priority right now

[snakes1100]

Well, first off, where ever you got those my.cnf settings, you need to revise them, if what you posted is right and you only have 1gb of ram in this server, those settings are way to high!

These settings should be corrected before you proceed any further.

Once you correct my.cnf, restart mysql, as well, enable logging in my.cnf

Also, your apache settings are fine, only you didn't post your start, min, max server settings, which shouldnt be a issue anyways.

[Nassou]

I have corrected my.cnf to these values

But always the same probleme
i think this bug is wuth my apache config !!!

Also, your apache settings are fine, only you didn't post your start, min, max server settings, which shouldnt be a issue anyways.

How to post this ?

[snakes1100]

Those settings are a bit tricky at times to find, depending on what OS & Apache version you run, as well as the web host manager that you might also run.

Typically they are in the httpd.conf/apache.conf file, sometimes they are in the extra or modules directory of apache in the mpm.conf file.

Change the following & restart mysql.
wait_timeout = 60
connect_timeout = 60
max_allowed_packet = 32M <-- I doubt this one is the issue, but its possible.

Always the same probleme

database error can't connect to mysql server and mysql server has gone away !

This is from having bad mysql settings or your mysql process constantly crashing. Depending on your traffic and resource usuage you may have to upgrade your server, or optimize it further.

What does your server loads look like during your peak times or when these errors are occuring.

[Nassou]

Now , i have increase timeout but the forum is too long for loading !

This server configuration:

####################
server configuration
RAM : 1GB DDRAM
HDD : 160 GB
CPU : Intel 1 X Core Duo T2450
Linux Debian
#####################

with a total of 300 ~ 400 users online is not enough for vBulletin?

[royo]

Well, you are using a cheap server, with low amounts of RAM and a laptop processor.

So long to "fine" Apache settings

Except you use WebDav - which shouldn't be used:

<LimitExcept GET POST>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>

Will be enough.

If you don't use .htaccess - change AllowOverride to "AllowOverride None"

If you don't have a Vhost running - use mod_php or FastCGI instead of suPHP

DirectoryIndex index.php

Here are the min / max server settings configured.

Here some sorting out can be done as well. If you don't use DAV / SSL as example.

And:

Why is this there ? Shouldn't it be:

<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

So far to "fine" Apache settings
