site won't open, but are you using vbulletin and vbseo? and have you ever been hacked or do you have any other problems on the site like optimizing tables or anything? How many times does this happen a day? What's your traffic like?
 
ssh in, check out top or htop and see if something's using the cpu, what iowait is etc.

Is it a dedi, vps, what?

If it's increasing at a specific time, do you have any cron jobs set for that time?

Or if it's a VPS, perhaps others sharing the same physical hardware do.
 
friends, i'm on vps by scopehost.
vps spec: 1gb ram, 80gb hd
its not on specific time.
it happens automatically.
how can i solve this problem out?

also friends.
mysql is causing this problem
now help me how to solve mysql problem.

This was the report when i tried the command: top -c
12007 mysql 15 0 164m 55m 6736 S 70.0 5.4 550:39.40 /usr/libexec/mysqld
(MYSQL USING 70% CPU USAGE)
when i turn off mysql, then its normal.

what can i do?
 
huh!
but i want to find the problem because even if i delete the older posts.
then after 1 month it will became same size and then also do i have to delete all posts and lost all traffic from seo.
 
Dude i guess the problem is ur DB is too Big(I guess around 1GB ? right). Just make it small. Not all the 10000s of posts are usefull. Most of them are duplicate & u can remove them & ease ur load.
 
hmm! i think ur right humour.
at current mysql size is: 800mb.
i already deleted 300 mb from db size.

now i think i need to stop reposting of articles.

but i also don't think db size is main cause.
as elite archive.com has db size of 1.19 Gb
and his site runs fast.

even he is on vps
 
Don't be crazy and go deleting any posts. Why the hell would you suggest that?

If you have it so all new members recieve a PM or you do regularly send mass PM's to all members then your PM table is one of the biggest tables even for members which are banned or never visit. Delete all old PM's will greatly reduce the size of any DB but won't affect your site speed too much.

Until you find the problem put a flood control limit on Search of 20 or 30 seconds like you see on Warez-BB and other large sites. Search is one of the most resource heavy parts of vBulletin 4. In fact vBulletin 4 search looks like it's coded by a 5 year old and designed for sites with less than 100 members. This will hopefully reduce your server load until you find the problem. Upgrade to the latest version of vBulletin too.

Next disable all mods for a while. While the search is poorly coded if it was the cause of the problem you'd site would be constantly struggling and not have random high peaks. 90% of the time the culprit is a poorly coded mod of some type. We have to find what this poorly coded mod is. I can't really tell much more as the forum is offline but if you do the above you'll at least get it back online and we'll be able to examine it more and go from their.
 
i don't use vbulletin.
its datalife engine v9
let me dewlete all pm's as i have many times mass pmed users

also, can there be problem because many users use autoposters for dle to post in many site.
?
will it help if i disable them by posting int he site (autoposters only)
 
there can be many things... but i wouldn't say that it's ddos... as your site doesn't get that much traffic. maybe google crawls your site too much... some urls which takes long to load/execute (some default searches or big sitemaps if not cached)... or just some bad coded php code. or maybe that your server host isn't configured right.

is it CPU or memory?

+ try to disable as many plugins as possible. ;)
