Hi to all!
We're using CentOS 5.5 64bits for our Plesk 11.
This week we had the following problem 3 times...
Suddenly, the server stops responding in all services (SSH, Apache, Postfix, ...) but ping works!
After wait a few minutes (or 2 hours some times) the server continues unresponsive until we reboot. After reboot we search on /var/log/messages but cannot find useful information...

A quick google shows me that the postfix messages are just that, and you might want to fix it so it's not asking for it.
HOWEVER, the important thing is that it appears to have just gone completely unresponsive. I've seen that happen to some servers here, and we've never found any clues.... On the other hand, IIRC, they tended to be boxes that we've had other problems with, and have had a number rebuilt under warranty (mostly Penguins, and the problems I've had with them, as they're all Supermicro m/b's, told me to NEVER buy a Supermicro m/b).
The only thing I can suggest trying might be to use ipmitool (assuming you don't want to bring them down and look in the BIOS) to read the SEL (system event log), to look for hardware errors.

I can't use ipmi in this machine...

Wait - this is hosted, not something you can lay your hands on? In that case, you need to call the hosting provider and complain. <snip> mark

You should have said this in the beginning! Can you be sure that this is a standard CentOS and not a version catered by the provider? It may just be a problem with the virtualizing software. You should talk to them. They also have means to access it in this hanging state from the host machine that you don't have.

If this is a virtual server, the actual hardware may just be running other virtual servers and you're not getting any resources. If that's true, nothing you do from your server will help you. You'll need to get system stats from the actual hardware provider.
Sounds like the hardware is over-committed. Do you have some kind of service guarantee?
Alexander Dalloz, true, but I'm only a system administrator guy who do the work that tells the boss... ;)
Kai Schaetzl, yes! you are right, I should have said this in the beginning! Sorry, it's because of the hurry... ;)
Thank's for all your answer! I wrote a mail to my provider. I keep you informed!

Hello there, Is there anything in the Apache logs indicating a problem? I think the logs might be in a non-standard location when Plesk is installed so you'll need to check for where those are. I think I remember having a problem, on a similar configuration, with a PHP limit and a user trying to send a large attachment through Horde that resulted in an almighty slowdown. Anyway, my twopenny'orth. All the best, Nic

I don't think thats the only nonstandard thing when Plesk is in use, in fact, I think it makes so many changes to CentOS thats its very hard to provide CentOS support for the Plesk system.

No, it isn't, yet there's things available that'll help you find what you need.

Or on any system that has been touched by human hands? I know what you mean, but you gotta lend a hand.

Are you running sysstat / sar ?
Perhaps the sa / sar database that's left after reboot can show if some resource was over capacity.

What can we do? what can we test?
Could be something related to disk access or RAM, runaway process or whatever. Do you have any system monitoring tools installed? Like munin, atop, sysstat? Any kernel errors in the logs?

Hi to all!
We're using CentOS 5.5 64bits for our Plesk 11.
That's insane! Why on earth do you run a 2,5 years old unpatched public system? You are asking for trouble and innocent third will be the victims of your hacked system.
This week we had the following problem 3 times...
Suddenly, the server stops responding in all services (SSH, Apache, Postfix, ...) but ping works!
After wait a few minutes (or 2 hours some times) the server continues unresponsive until we reboot. After reboot we search on /var/log/messages but cannot find useful information...

That's a Xen Domain. So IPMI, as suggested by others, will not work.

First, update your system to the latest 5.9 + updates!
Talk to your hoster. If your Xen VM has issues other guests on the same hardware may have too. Or another VM on the hosts consumes so much resources that your VM does not respond any longer.

Thank's!
