Doyley Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi all, I have come to the conclusion that our hosts aren't worth the steam off my .... anyway.. We have a fairly decent dedicated server which has been slowing to a holt over the last month or so. I have been speaking to out hosts who have been giving me all sorts of weird and wonderful lies about why it was going down. They suggested we get a RAM upgrade which we did so we now have 4GB of RAM even though we were running perfectly well on 1.5GB about 3 months ago. Still it is crashing with this vast amount of RAM. Now I'm not completely adept with the in's and out's of apache. I get by but I'm no expert but I decided to go through the logs myself and see if I could spot anything. First I took a look at CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage in WHM and saw the the user nobody had been eating up a shed load of RAM. A quick google shows me that that is the user which Apache uses. So I then take a look in the vast error logs of apache. All of our sites are located in /home/blahblah but I see loads of errors like the following.. [Wed May 28 08:03:14 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:14 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml [Wed May 28 08:03:15 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:15 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml [Wed May 28 08:03:16 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:16 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml [Wed May 28 08:03:18 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:18 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml [Wed May 28 08:03:19 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:19 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml [Wed May 28 08:03:21 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:21 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml [Wed May 28 08:03:22 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/viewforum.php [Wed May 28 08:03:22 2008] [error] [client 91.152.210.169] File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/404.shtml This has been happening a lot from a couple of different IP address which all trace back to Moscow.
