Hi ..

i'm experiencing some of high load on my server sometimes ..

i have contacted support and they have tweaked some settings and blocked a folder that has many php scripts they think it causes the high load ..

well .. i'm not expert in using linux .. but i want to know how can i know exactly which file or script causing the high load .. either using WHM (better) or shell..

may any 1 help me?

thx

Based on our discussion in does openX cause high load on the server? it looks like this problem is still being caused by your site getting massive HTTP traffic. An upgrade is really the only way to solve this.

well i considered that i was thinking about upgrading to dual core .. but for the past 6 weeks the load never reached 1 .. and suddenly it becomes between 6 and 12 .. and it seems there r a script that causes the problem ..

so i need to find it and try to optimize it .. if it doesn't work then i don't have any other options except upgrading ..

so how could i know which script causing the high load??

vAMP

any1?

It'll show the top processes running at that time.
I have suPHP installed, and if a PHP script is taking up a lot of CPU, it shows the username and yeah...

Hope this helps...

Looks like it's the "adv" script that's causing problems... but I don't think that disabling this script will help at all. Your server is simply serving too much HTTP traffic:
~~~
[rootjojo1 ~]# grep 'GET /' /etc/httpd/domlogs/joreyat.org | wc -l
174554
~~~

174554 requests in about 12 hours. It's going to take more than a 2.4GHz P4 with 1GB RAM to serve out this kind of traffic, especially since all of your scripts are PHP based ...

I would go with at least a Core 2 Duo E6300 and 2GB RAM. This will give you the best performance for your money.
