    Hi,

    Ive got a VPS server which is having some problems at the moment with sites not loading..

    It has 7 sites on it..

    It seems that the main problem on the server is;

    numtcpsock
    kmemsize

    Both of these seem to be causing an issue, specialy the kmemsize

    What are these and whats causing them to go into the black zone ?

    I have recently had a client come onto the server with phpfox, is this the problem ?

    Are you expierencing these problems as soon as that client with phpfox came on your server?

    You can also run the 'top' command to help track down the source thats eating up your resources.

    You can also ask your host to raise your numtcpsock limit aswell

    You'll need to use an SSH client such as PuTTY to connect to your server (on port 22, most likely).

    go here:
    http :// www. chiark . greenend. org . uk/~sgtatham/putty/ download.html

    Download Putty.exe.
    Mostly it is on Port 22.

    Use the Ip addresses, User name and Password which has been Provided to you.


    Then you can run the Top and Other Commands.

    Let me Know If you need Any help.

    Ps:please remove the Space as i am not allowed to put Live Links

    You can post URLs, they just won't be automatically turned into links.

    If you type in http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html it will look like this: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
    After a week and a few posts, the same URL will be automatically turned into this: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

    check if httpd is running or not.
    ps -ax|grep http and then check if its running.
    Otherwise dont play around in what you dont know. assign the work to some experienced server admin, and they can handle it for you.
