    Please help me. I started a server with ispconfig on debian etch. I secured the server with suphp. All done with the manuals here. But now, i got a big error. I moved my last page to the server and now, THIS site doesnt work. All the other Sites work, a smaller Joomla Site, too. But this Joomla Page doesn't.

    I checked out the memory and i saw, the webuser of the page causes 30-40 php5-cgi processes with hundrets of MBs Memory Usage. The Page timed out with a 500 error.

    i checked all the permissions but the error.log still gives me just one error:

    [Fri Apr 18 08:41:30 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Premature end of script headers: index.php

    But all the permissions are correct! And the Page runs out of memory.

    Can you help me how to find the reason? is there a logfile i didnt find? How can i locate the script, which causes the error? :(

    What's the value of memory_limit from your php.ini?
    What's the output of
    Code:
    top
    ?

    Have you tried to increase the memory_limit, e.g. to 128M?

    I'm interested in the beginning of the top output. Can you post it again, maybe also the output of
    Code:
    cat /proc/meminfo
    ?

    Yes, but then nobody else can understand us. ;)

    What Joomla version is the website using?
    What extensions (components, modules, plugins, etc) is the website using?
    What version?

    I hear tell that a lot of spam is sent these days using old "buggy" php code.
    Joomla 1.0.x has had many security flaws.

    Upgrading to 1.5 may help.
