Hello xoopers!
I ask for help because Iam having bad problems with my server and I dont know what to do anymore.
I have a dedicated pentium dual core 1 GB ram running XOOPS and other apps. MySQL is hosted in that server.
The server is managed by the data center company
We have this server for over 1 year and it was good until some months ago
The problem is that sometimes the server gets overloaded and apache, MySQL or the entire machine has to be rebooted
This problem got more frequent some weeks ago.
I dont know if this is a XOOPS problem or a server problem. The data center says de machine is ok. (but who knows?)
I am almost sure that the problem is XOOPS related
because XOOPS is the main app on the server (about 6000 unique visitors a day)
because that we moved the XOOPS database to another server and the problem got less frequent (but still happening)
Also the patern of the problem is not related to visitor load. It happens very fast and not related to busiest hours
Here is a log of the uptime command (yesterday)
10:45:01 up 14:51, 0 users, load average: 0.52, 0.61, 0.73
10:50:01 up 14:56, 0 users, load average: 0.63, 0.69, 0.73

11:35:01 up 15:41, 0 users, load average: 0.05, 3.60, 30.97
I wonder if this is a server bug (hardware or software), a XOOPS or XOOPS modules bug or an attack
I dont know that to do now, because we have looked on everything that we can and found nothing
My XOOPS is a bit modified and I use a lot of modules
I have protector instaled (not latest version)
My XOOPS is 2.0.16
Please give me a light on this issue
