Regular issues

[greenvill]

I 'm on cloud hosting and keep getting regular issues.

Firstly I keep getting emails saying:

Drive Critical: /dev/loop0 (/var/tmp) is 100% full

And then mysql keeps failing which I'm not able to resolve myself by restarting using WHM, so I need to get support to do it for me.

Just wondering what would be causing these issues and what can be done to solve them.

Yesterday I was told by a support agent it was lack of CPU, so I paid extra to upgrade the CPU, but I'm still having the issues today.

Dear Phillip

I have checked partition schema of your vps and I noticed that /tmp of the server was having only 512 MB disk space. The session files of your sites were filling up the entire /tmp and due to which you were getting email alerts about the disk space

To solve this problem permanently disk space of /tmp has been increased from 512M to 1024M. Please check the df -h output.

[email protected] [~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
24G 12G 11G 54% /
/dev/sda1 99M 19M 76M 20% /boot
tmpfs 256M 0 256M 0% /dev/shm
/usr/tmpDSK 1008M 34M 924M 4% /tmp

I hope you will not receive any email alerts further

That's great thanks - However I'm still getting mysql issues

My sites aren't workin correctly now, even though in WHM server status it shows mysql is running

Dear greenvill,

Yes, mysql service is working properly on your VPS. We are checking database connection problem with our Senior Admin and update you accordingly. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

You are facing the problem because the permission of /tmp was not set properly.
