    Issue Server keeps crashing. Is it memory or something else I am missing?

    Just sharing one of my personal experiences — I had a similar experience with one of my dedicated servers running AlmaLinux 8. After running without issues for a few months, the server hung randomly on two separate nights, and the server provider’s staff had to manually reboot it, as the...

    Issue Server keeps crashing. Is it memory or something else I am missing?

    I don’t think there is anything in the provided image that indicates the cause of the server hang. At this stage, I would recommend starting with server-level hardware diagnostics. Unfortunately, I’m not very familiar with IONOS dedicated servers, as their infrastructure and tooling differ from...

    Question Best Practices: Blocking A Large Number of IP Addresses

    I agree, but do we have any other practical solution to block 100,000+ IPs when we cannot reliably distinguish real users from attackers?

    Question Best Practices: Blocking A Large Number of IP Addresses

    Is this an eCommerce website? In our case, only eCommerce websites have been targeted. We have many non-eCommerce sites on the same infrastructure, and they are completely unaffected. To write this post, I opened our Cloudflare dashboard, and to my surprise, within the last 24 hours alone...

    Question Best Practices: Blocking A Large Number of IP Addresses

    This has become a daily battle for us lately. From what you’ve described, it sounds very much like a botnet-style attack. I’m not sure who is behind it or what the end goal is, but in our case it mostly seems aimed at making the websites unavailable (resource exhaustion / overload) rather than...

    Issue Server keeps crashing. Is it memory or something else I am missing?

    See if you can find anything with, (run as root) #dmesg -T | egrep -i "oom|out of memory|kill process|hung task|blocked for|I/O error|reset|nvme|ext4|xfs|panic|segfault" | tail -n 200

    Question Changing MariaDB 10.11.14 to MySQL version 8 in Plesk Obsidian version 18 for Ubuntu22.04

    In addition to Sebahat’s answer, I start the MySQL Docker container using the following command: docker run --name mysql8 \ -v /root/mysql8/datadir:/var/lib/mysql \ -v /root/mysql8/conf.d:/etc/mysql/conf.d \ -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=Password \ -p 127.0.0.1:3307:3306 \ -p 127.0.0.1:33061:33060 \...

    Issue Control Panel URL redirects to https://localhost:8443/smb/

    Are you currently behind any proxy or VPN, such as Cloudflare? This information could help narrow down the issue. Also, could you please confirm that the server is using a unique hostname? By that I mean the hostname should be a dedicated subdomain that is not used by any of the hosted domains...

    Issue Control Panel URL redirects to https://localhost:8443/smb/

    Just an idea, Have you tried to access the panel via the server IP address? and change the full hostname to a different subdomain?

    Question Permanently Disable /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/statistics_collector

    Sorry for the delayed reply! Thank you very much, @Sebahat.hadzhi and @Kaspar . I really wish there were an option to permanently disable /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/statistics_collector, as it’s a long-running and unnecessary process for us. I’ve already done this, but the process is still...

    Question Permanently Disable /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/statistics_collector

    Hi, I know this topic has been discussed a few times before, but is there any way to completely disable the /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/statistics_collector process? I’m running a very large website (around 600 GB) with high traffic, and I’ve noticed that this process runs daily from about 4 AM...
