VPS is crashing ...any help please?
Hi ...
Hope some one help me in this issue..
I have a VPS (Vitrtuozzo/Cpanel), something strange is happening regarding server load, server load starts to increase rapidly then the server crashes (after like 20-30 min) .. I contacted my company (they reply in 2-3 days ), and their reply was that "an account is taking my resources" . They didn't identify this account, and seems I am left in the dark at this moment . Also I have very few clients on this machine, I doubt they are right!
Can any one give me some guidlines that can help ? May be a service is hanging? so how to detect it ? Even some links to posts regarding this issue will help. I am not a frequent WHT person...
Thanks in advance

Can you post 'top' output here? What do you get when you run:
netstat -nap | grep :80 | wc -l
netstat -nap | grep SYN | wc -l
what do you get when you run:

Thanks vaserv and Milovan for your replies...
just got this message from the cron deamon:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Cannot allocate memory
is it something global or can give an indication?
Milovan: will try to post results you requeted...

When your vps is really messed up it may just be easier to get a new vps and move. Ask your provider if you can get a new vps and move without paying double fees.

zinet: his VPS isn't messed up, it's running out of resources.
migo225: is there any way you can do:
cat /proc/user_beancounters
If not, ask your host to provide you with the output OR try to login to VZPP and see what exactly is running low there.
In the meanwhile, I would suggest that you do (most likely this will solve your resource problems for a brief moment -- where you should be able to do 'cat' on user_beancounters):
service httpd stop (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop).■ Have a question?
