...fix PASS64

Fanatical Host · July 19th, 2007, 6:13 PM

I know there is already a big post about it but it's getting out of hand. PASS64 is screwed up, and thats it. Whenever I do anything about accounts on WHM, server load boosts to 7 or above, yet http seems to work all the time, no matter how high the server load is.
Then there is another issue, pop, which seems to fail every so often, but not as much as server loads and I really think they are separate issues.
Lastly, that disk sda5/ should NOT be at 90%, or, that is the point where you stop putting new clients on the server, but ne, I only joined 2 days ago, and I've been put on a server which is so obviously oversold a little too much and is pretty shaky.
In the final end, I care about reliability and http reliability has bee 100% so far, so I'm not actually that bothered, although it is annoying, I just thought I might highlight these issues.

The server load is going to jump anytime you do something in WHM -- even more so since you're talking about creating and deleting accounts. Have you seen the list of things tasks that are performed when you add an account? A DNS zone is added to named, named is reloaded, the virtualhost is added to Apache, Apache is restarted, FTP is configured, a home directory is created, and so on... This is going to cause the load average to spike on any server, no matter how slow, fast, overloaded, or underloaded it is.

You are right about one thing though -- this server does have quite a few accounts; much more than we usually allow per reseller server. We're going to be addressing this very shortly by moving some clients to a new server with less users on it. As for now, we've been keeping a very close eye on the server, and it looks like we've made a good amount of progress compared to where it was a few days ago. The load is steady at 2.xx now that I've suspended someone who was sending too many emails, so things should definitely be good at this point.

With that said, let's continue this discussion in the lengthy thread that's already open. Having this topic in two different forums doesn't make resolving this any easier.
