server turning off daily automatically...

Posted by ransome, 02-25-2011, 12:22 PM
we have a vps for an image hosting site with a premium image hosting script And our vps config as follows: 1gb ram, 2 gb burst, 1gb bandwidth, 50gb hdd - only only 20gb hdd SolusVM + VirtualMin + Openvz + Cent Os 5.5 + Optimized Apache the problem we are having is, daily the server is booting off automatically. The highest server load noted so far according to solus in 3.85 and the highest ram used is 1.3gb - both happened today. Again for the past 1hr the server is down, don't know what's happening - its in offline I need some solution fast as we are losing traffic at a rapid pace don't need a dedi or semi-dedi as the site hasn't grown so big for those requirements.

just forgot to mention, it reboots generally back with in 20 - 30 mins on most occasions and this has been happening constantly at least once per day and maximum of 4 - 5 such outages

I would say either your VPS is hacked and someone is playing with you, or your VPS provider is having problems with their hardware node and hence the reboots. Have you contacted your provider about the problem?

I think that's the problem with OS(May be a kernel panic. I have seen this happening with some OpenVZ setup) on the Hardware node.

I have asked my provider about that, still awaiting reply. what can I do if this is the cause ?

Considering you're into the fun region of ram, you should be monitoring your failcnt in the beancounter under privvmpages. Do you have any scripts that initiate a recovery reboot for critical errors? Also check /var/log/message to see if you have any Fatal resource shortage messages lying about.

var/log/messages should point to what the problem is.

Your provider can help you by migrating your VPS to another hardware node.
