High Cpu Usage

Hi,

I have a problem with high CPU high usage, i've tryed several sollution but in vain, OVH support changed us all the hardware, after re-contacting support and sending the file logs with the command top , they recongnized that php-cgi consumes lot of ressources, in virtualmin i've switched FCGId to CGI wrapper , i also fixed the Maximum total connections to 100 instead of inlimited in MySQL database connection settings and gave 90 to Interval between status collection job runs in Configurable options for Virtualmin Virtual Servers (GPL) (Status collection) => Status Collection => virtualmin configuration. Still no positif results. But in the appache error log, the error witch appears now is PHP Warning: Module 'mcrypt' already loaded in Unknown on line 0 . Now i'm really sick of this CPU, dunno how to reduce it and make it stable.

Give me please some advices, and help. And thank u in advance.

Regards.

PHP Warning: Module 'mcrypt' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

This error usually show when you try to load "mcrypt.so" multiple times. Check your PHP config files and see if they contain "mcrypt.so" more than once.

For high CPU usage i'm not sure if this is the main problem but after you sort "mcrypt.so" restart your server and see the situation with CPU. If is still high that could be indication of:

your MySQL is too big and/or poorly configured
bad code (e.g. broken WP plugin)
your website is hacked
or under DDoS (OVH comes with DDoS protection but still worth to check)
high volume of spam
traffic spikes for whatever reason

If your MySQL is not big i would start with looking at the website code especially if you are using any sort of CMS like WP or Joomla.

Howdy,

What are the symptoms of your high CPU usage? Is it a high load average? Are you seeing individual processes with a high CPU usage? Or is it showing in some other way?

Also, what is the output of the following commands:

uptime
mailq | tail -1

Hi,

thanks gus for you replies,

Diabolico=> I've tryed to check mcrypt in all my php files but didn't find already, dunno if i didn't check in the right place, i'm on wordpress if u can tell me. 1) Yes indeed our DB is big, and get bigger every day with the articles as it's a press web site/ how to check if it's poorly configured and how to resolve it? 2) I've checked all the plugins by activating/ desactivating without any effect on the CPU. 4) Can u tell me from where to see that on virtualmin/ webmin, as the OVH support isn't working (exeption) 5) We have the plugin Akismet witch blocks the spams 6) traffic spikes for whatever reason: how to check this & resolve it? 3) I've let the last, i guess that's what happening to us, how can i know if it's, and how to secure our web site ?

Andreychek=> The web site is always slow, it's the UPC usage witch high, no the loading average isn't high, i see that in the system information.

uptime

16:38:49 up 1 day, 23:59, 1 user, load average: 20.32, 17.71, 19.20

Howdy,

Hmm, your server's load average is actually quite high (it's 20.32 in the command you shared above).

If that's above 1.00 or 2.00, that usually points to a problem of some sort.

We've sometimes seen that a large amount of email in the mail queue can increase the server's load average... I doubt it's the cause of your particularly high load though.

It might not hurt to rule this out though -- there are a decent amount of emails in your email queue (572 messages).

All all the messages in your queue expected?

You might consider temporarily turning off the Postfix service at an off-peak time, just for a few minutes, to see if your load comes dramatically down. Run "uptime" before doing so, and then run it after a few minutes of Postfix being off, and see if the load comes down a lot.

If not, then you may need to focus on your web app, along with the traffic it's getting.

To rule out that there isn't a bot clobbering your site there, what is the output of this command:

netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20

You really may be seeing a site optimization problem, the above is just ruling out other issues.

If it's purely related to your site, you could always try enabling some caching or so within WordPress. That could take a lot of load off of MySQL.

Hi Eric,

Thanks alor for your tricks. Well for postfix, from webmin => System=> Bootup & Shutdown, i've tryed to stop, restart ... and checkinh each time from wirtualmin=> system information or uptime, but no effect, now it just become 55 :/

Howdy,

Yeah I don't see anything unusual in the command output there.

But something is definitely very wrong, with a load average that high.

What is the output of this command:

free -m

Yeah it looks like you have plenty of memory there... it's still difficult to say for sure, but it's looking more like the issue may be related to your app (and possibly it's communication with MySQL).

You may also want to review the your hardware has the resources to handle the amount of traffic you're receiving.

But I'd also look into additional forms of caching.

You should check for "mcrypt" in php config files, one inside your virtual server (each one should have one) and in main "php.ini". This doesnt have anything to do with your WP.
Search on google for "mysqltuner.pl" and "tuning-primer.sh". This two scripts should tell you if there is a problem with your MySQL. On google you can find a lot of info for both scripts but it comes down to download this two scripts into your root folder and start both of them using SSH and "perl mysqltuner.pl" and "sh tuning-primer.sh".
OVH is great for hardware/network and is fast to replace failing parts but its truly unmanaged and do not expect any help from them if is not related to your server.
Akismet is not bad but i would add captcha for comments, block direct access to wp-login.php and if you are not using jetpack i would permanently block access to "xmlrpc.php". Both can be done with htaccess.
Its small chance but it could be failing hardware problem. With OVH you have rescue mode and use that to check your server.

Hi,

I'm returning to u, after several tentative (...) to resolve the problem, i still have troubles, well in brief, my Ovh support adviced me to still check the php-cgi.

I've changed FCGId to CGI wrapper. I've changed again CGI wrapper to Apache mod_php but i've got a blank page.

I dunno what to do with this php-cgi, cause it's swallows my CPU ressources, as shown in the running processes.

Hi,

i have the performance4 web hosting at ovh. Since 1 week I have the same problem which you have.

ovh says that one of my wordpress sites is trying to connect to IP 178.237.36.57

I have more than 10 Multidomains, and they all are not running...

Could you solve the problem with your site?

best regards christian

Hi,

Sometimes, after upgarding webmin or virtualmin, permissions of /tmp change and it generates this error.

Try to change /tmp permissions to the originals

Instruction:
Execute this as root user
chmod 1777 /tmp
