Issue cannot login to Plesk

Hi,

if i go on https://xma1.de:8443 (my site) after some time it shows timeout error.

my sites works fine, but sometimes (once in month) it have problem with load average. at that time my sites, mail and ssh connection don't work. I need to restart my server.

I use an V-Server (www.strato.de) with Ubuntu.

I have tried:
-/etc/sw-cp-server/config
fastcgi_buffers 32 32k;
fastcgi_buffer_size 64k;

- /etc/ngnix/ngnix.conf
keepalive_timeout 600;

- Created file timeout.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/
with
proxy_connect_timeout 600;
proxy_send_timeout 600;
proxy_read_timeout 600;
send_timeout 600;

plesk repair all -y (stays some hours without information)
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base
and
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --all-versions (5. (*) Plesk 12.5.30 (Stable) (currently installed))
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller stys on multiverse warning
Warning: not connected 'multiverse' repository section
 
Before repairing or reinstalling Plesk, you could try to restart PSA service. Plesk brings its own web server. It is possible that Plesk GUI is unresponsive while subscription sites are being served.

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/psa stopall
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/psa start

If you experience server resource issues, your current hosting solution is too small for your needs and must be upgraded.
 
Hi Peter,
i had tried it to before, but forget to write about it (have tried at first to find a solution myself, but after weeks of try I decided to ask it in Forum).

now i get following error (what was before repairing or reinstalling Plesk I have forgot):
/etc/rc.d/init.d/psa: No such file or directory

current hosting solution is not too small.
I have 2 promotional Sites (one flash another HTML 5 both from Moto CMS).
1 Site for experiments with Joomla (mostly design, no information)
1 Git server (last time was not used, only I have account.)
2 OwnCloud Sites (It was installed but not used)
+ PHPInfo on an empty site to check server speed (was created at the beginning)
 
Ok I have found psa in another derectory: /etc/init.d/psa

But restart it dont help with my error.

here ist out from starting script:

Hi,

Please try repairing the Plesk.

Please check this:
/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/"plesk version"/bootstrapper.sh repair

Then
# /etc/init.d/psa stop
# /etc/init.d/psa start

Thanks,
