So far, I love ISPConfig. However, there's a major annoyance. I have to reboot ISPConfig every few days because it seemingly begins to not function. Websites will take forever to load, many times timing out. Also, when they do load it's like HTTPD isn't connecting to MYSQL to get the databases required to build the website within the browsers. Again, this does happen on regular HTML driven websites too, though. Any ideas on how to keep ISPConfig from not requiring so many reboots and to be able to handle being up for weeks on end? Thanks so much.
well i cant say for sure as i have yet to install ISPConfig on my server, waiting for some information first, but one thing that i can say is this "issue" you are haveing may not be an ISPConfig issue, but instead may be a hardware issue, there are 2 things you can try, 1 thing costing money and the other thing not costing money , the cheapest thing to try is to increase the size of your swap partition, this can be a real hassle and a half, the other thing you can try is increasing your ram because your swap space gets used once you have no more ram free and because your swap space is on your hard drive it is slower then your ram, 1GB ram with a 2GB swap partition should be a sufficient amount, also you can try removeing any un-needed services from the bootup, when u reboot you will have more free memory to work with. If none of those help any amount, then i can be of no help in fixing this problem.
I agree that this is most likely not a ISPConfig issue, ISPConfig writes onbly several configuration files for you and dont serves your webpages. Do you get any errors in the syslog or messages log?
I'll have to check the logs next time it occurs. dingle@its:/home/dingle# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 507816 505504 2312 0 3576 195004 -/+ buffers/cache: 306924 200892 Swap: 1012084 2596 1009488 dingle@its:/home/dingle# Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda3 73G 39G 31G 56% / /dev/hda1 99M 19M 75M 21% /boot none 248M 0 248M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hdc 74G 38G 32G 55% /backup dingle@its:/home/dingle# dingle@its:/home/dingle# df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/hda3 9633792 471292 9162500 5% / /dev/hda1 26104 49 26055 1% /boot none 63477 1 63476 1% /dev/shm /dev/hdc 9781248 291 9780957 1% /backup dingle@its:/home/dingle#
