Banging My Head Against A Wall
Hi, I have a new VPS with Jaguarpc..
I am running a smallish, single web site using about 2gb per day in bandwidth. Other resource use is negligible.
Anyway, the site runs a handfull of processes yet Im forever getting "Internal Server Errors" because im exceeding the number of processes allowed.. My limit is 500 'numprocs' and the site is forever near to this amount. But, like I say, my site only uses maybe a dozen processes.
So why is this so guys..?? Can you help me..
Just a fyi, previously the site was on a much lesser shared host account and never once had any problems. I moved the site to actually get more space but its had the opposite effect.
And I cant keep sending messages to their support ........

Are you running PHP is SuEXEC mode as this could be putting up the limit? Also what does ps -ef show when near the limit?

VPS' tend to be a step down from shared IMO.

Personally, i would just go to dediced if you had the money, I mean that provides room to grow and then you have a whole entire machine to yourself. Good Luck with this issue but thats about all the help I can provide

I'm on Jag with a VPS and run a forum with about 3500 members, but don't have any problems (I have to say I do run Vbulletin which is far less resource hungry than some "free" software.)
I also have never had a problem asking support for help, they are more than happy to give me any help I have asked for, IF you feel guilty asking for help because its not something they normally provide support for, why not prioritise it as low, so when they are not busy they can answer you? (My support times are still so fast I find it hard to believe)
Honestly, I am sure they would rather help you find a solution than see you go elsewhere, and the only way to get a problem sorted is to ask them.
Have you asked in the JaguarPC forums (There seem to be some VERY clever people there, I know I feel inadequate reading some of their posts) and if you dont get an answer Massood (tech guy) or even Jag himself allways seem to get involved in really awkward problems, and take it as a challenge to find a solution.
best wishes, I hope you get your problem solved

Yeah, im sure im getting the right info..
However, im sceptical to be told that a single (at best medium sized) web site that generates about:
25,000 page views a day
3,000 uniques a day
1gb bandwidth a day
Requires a dedicated server.....??
Can anyone tell me what they would do and where they would go in the same circumstances???
Thx

Well, I had a forum running on VPS from Godaddy with 512 MB assured RAM. My site was okay till I had around 5-6 Gb daily bandwidth and then started to slow down. I waited till 7-8 GB bandwidth per day and moved to a Dedicated server.
I would reommend you to :
1. Check the processes, ps -aux, if you know Linux and see whats going on there.
2. If possible, upgrade your VPS plan. I was lucky that godaddy allowed to upgrade practically every aspect, RAM, DISK etc. at any point.
3. If nothing works, move to a better host. I dont think you need a dedicated for your site. Something that would allow you to configure and upgrade your plans.Hosting Coupons: MediaTemple Recurring Discount, HostNine Offers and more..

looks like its some other issue, possibly your directory permissions or problems in .htaccess/ php.ini.
My vps does probably 9gb/day, has multiple enormous forums running, my numproc is at 104/500, also jagpc.
doubt it has anything to do with resource usage, just a misconfiguration somewhere.

See how it goes i guess....
