MariaDB CPU Intensive with XenForo

check-host.com directs to google for me ?? what are you testing ? url wise ?

 

yeah probably..

 

@Oxide throwing the relevant info out there for you to read

Centmin Mod is provided as is, so troubleshooting load issues is left to end user to do. However, there's many linux tools and scripts that can help you figure out what was causing the load issues and when.

If you're providing info on this forum, more info might be helpful

1. What version of Centmin Mod ? .07 stable or .08 beta ? If .08 beta when was it installed and when was last time you updated the .08 beta code (there's constant updates to the code).
2. What's your VPS/Server hardware specifications ? cpu type ? memory available ? disk space ?
3. Who's your web host ? Different hosts have different limits for server resource usage and some are more restrictive that others so it could just be their resource usage policy you tripped which may or may not be restrictive. If restrictive, then real solution would be finding a better web host. If not restrictive, then it's finding out what caused high cpu load.

Tools and commands you will want to read up on and learn for basic system admin tasks and troubleshooting.

Notes:

• Centmin Mod already installed Glances tool. It can be invoked from SSH command glances or top2. Official Glances site at nicolargo.github.io/glances/ and documentation here.

Nginx 502 Bad Gateway Errors

Bad gateway 502 is usually related to Nginx timing out waiting on PHP-FPM to respond as PHP-FPM is overloaded or overwhelmed with requests, so may need to tune PHP-FPM values. It also maybe due to PHP-FPM in turn being queued and backed up waiting on MariaDB MySQL server to respond - so also need to look at MySQL.

You'll need to tune your PHP-FPM settings and this is left up to end user to do but here's a thread for starters to enable php status page output outlined at PHP PHP-FPM - Centmin Mod - Menu based Nginx installer for CentOS servers and PHP-FPM - pm.max_children | Centmin Mod Community which outlines the official PHP-FPM config documentation as well.

Checking PHP-FPM etc logs

You'll also need to check into your PHP-FPM, Nginx and MariaDB logs which you can find as outlined at How to troubleshoot Centmin Mod initial install issues

Server logs include Nginx, PHP-FPM, MariaDB MySQL error logs as well as others. You can find your Centmin Mod install/menu logs at FAQ 7 and server logs at FAQ 19 at Centmin Mod FAQ (most up to date info in FAQ so always read that first). Spoiler tag below has info too but may not be up to date.

Some of Centmin Mod's installed software will have their own access and error logs which maybe useful for diagnosing errors or give info, notes, or warning notices.

Note: There's no support provided by me for diagnosing such errors which may occur for various reasons including misconfiguration of installed php/mysql scripts or applications.

In SSH2 telnet you can use tail command to view the last X number of lines in the file.

For example for viewing last 10 lines in the file for:

For Nginx access and error logs:

Code:

  tail -10 /usr/local/nginx/logs/access.log
  tail -10 /usr/local/nginx/logs/error.log

For specific domainname.com access and error log:

Code:

  tail -10 /home/nginx/domains/domainname.com/log/access.log
  tail -10 /home/nginx/domains/domainname.com/log/error.log

For other system error logs located at /var/log:

list /var/log files in ascending time order so the most recently modified files are at the bottom

Code:

  ls -lhrt /var/log

Code:

How to edit php.ini and php-fpm configuration files ?

Centmin Mod install created command short cuts outlined here to allow you to quickly edit your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file and your /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf file. Full list of command shortcuts below:

• Edit php.ini = phpedit ( /usr/local/lib/php.ini )
• Edit my.cnf = mycnf ( /etc/my.cnf )
• Edit php-fpm.conf = fpmconf ( /usr/local/etc/php-fpm.conf )
• Edit nginx.conf = nginxconf ( /usr/local/nginx/conf/nginx.conf )
• Edit (nginx) virtual.conf = vhostconf - only edits /usr/local/nginx/conf/conf.d/virtual.conf not the additional vhost domain.com.conf files added later
• Edit (nginx) php.conf = phpinc ( /usr/local/nginx/conf/php.conf )
• Edit (nginx) drop.conf = dropinc ( /usr/local/nginx/conf/drop.conf )
• Edit (nginx) staticfiles.conf = statfilesinc ( /usr/local/nginx/conf/staticfiles.conf )
• nginx stop/start/restart = ngxstop/ngxstart/ngxrestart
• php-fpm stop/start/restart = fpmstop/fpmstart/fpmrestart
• mysql stop/start/restart = mysqlstop/mysqlstart/mysqlrestart
• nginx + php-fpm stop/start/restart = npstop/npstart/nprestart
• memcached stop/start/restart =memcachedstop/memcachedstart/memcachedrestart
• csf stop/start/restart = csfstop/csfstart/csfrestart

However, Centmin Mod users are free to help each other out and ask questions or give answers on this community forum. My hopes are that this community forum evolves so that more veteran long time Centmin Mod users help new Centmin Mod users out

 

if you have 4 cpu cores and 1 hits 100% temporarily = 1/4 = 0.25 cpu load so nothing to worry about
