New Pleskian
OS CentOS 5.6 (Final)
Panel version 11.0.9 Update #61
The system is up-to-date; last checked at June 6, 2014 03:32 AM
I use pingdom to alert me when sites go down. It would happen only once every few weeks, and I'd just reboot the VPS from my provider's control panel, however in the last 24 hours it has started doing it more and more often. The only change I have made in this time is to delete a few unused web sites.
When I get alerted, I check the the domains and they won't load. I look at the plesk control panel page thought and that does work.
I can SSH in, but I can't see anything that might help in the messages log.
Can anyone suggest any good steps to begin looking in to this while I continue my searching around please?
Update: I removed the plesk control panel error as that only seemed to happen once and is not happening anymore.
Update 2: I saw quite a few entries in the /var/log/secure log and so I added iptables rules to only allow SSH access from my own IP and to DROP all other requests. It seemed fine for a while, but after 12 hours it has started becoming unresponsive again until reboot.
Any more suggestions?
