Issue Plesk Onyx 17.0.17 Update 23 causes extremely high CPU load

[Pieter_h]

Hi there,

I run a forum (IP.Board) on a Plesk Onyx VM. After Update 23 on April 18th, something causes an extremely high CPU load. I am running the latest version of IP.Board, have disabled all plugins and customizations, but the issue remains.

Given that the issues started right after the update to 17.0.17 Update 23, I am suspecting that this has something to do with it.

With Yum, I cannot rollback this update unfortunately. What do you recommend to do to resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Pieter

maybe this helps

Issue - Apache hangs (mod_fcgid) with Debian 7

I also do weekly on every server

rm -f /var/run/mod_fcgid/sock/*.*
service httpd restart

to clear stale sockets

I will look at it - although it does not appear to be the case that there are too many processes running. It's just one or two concurrent php processes that are taking up all the CPU power.

Any idea on how to revert this particular update?

Update 23 are php security updates, i would not recommend reverting this.

If the board ran fine before with the same configuration then there is a good change that IP.Board isnt compatible with the new php version.
If rebooting the server and cleaning /var/run/mod_fcgid/sock/ doesn't help then you might need to contact the creators of IP.Board. As far as i can look it up this is commercial software, they should fix incompatibilities, not you reverting security updates.
