HTTPD shows down in WebHost Manager

Spirogg
Hi all, my cloud server info: i have 2 cpu 4 ram 80gb ssd drive using - Removed - service fresh install of cPanel httpd shows down, I had this issue for 2 hours and it was on a new install of cPanel i search all threads - I didn't find a solution. what I tried below: noticed 2 IP hitting the server 1st IP only 46 and the other IP 37 buy running netstat -an | egrep ':80|:443' | grep ESTABLISHED | awk '{print $5}' | grep -o -E "([0-9]{1,3}[\.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}" | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr
it showed xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 46 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 37 i ran the command line a few times and it was within 32-48 for those IP's So then I install CSF and blocked those 2 IP's and restarted server restarted httpd, then re ran the command line netstat -an | egrep ':80|:443' | grep ESTABLISHED | awk '{print $5}' | grep -o -E "([0-9]{1,3}[\.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}" | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr
and no IP showed except for mine xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1 so I again restarted httpd and checked (httpd) and it was still down I then search more in apache configuration Home ?Service Configuration ?Apache Configuration ?Memory Usage Restrictions settings were set to OFF I enable RLimitMEM >Set to the recommended 315MB then saved. then it showed: httpd UP and running in whm services and in cPanel server information restarted httpd restarted server and its up and running First Question: why would this be an issue ? Second Question: for my cloud server (info above) IS 315MB good setting or can we raise the limit so it doesn't slow down the server - sites ? Third Question: should this not of affected httpd showing it was down ? could it be something else that was the issue ? any help to make me understand the issue more would be much appreciated.. ** I also am posting this just in case someone else runs into this problem that httpd shows down then they can try what I've done and see if it helps keep httpd up and running. thanks so much in advance, Spiro

    I would say RLimitMEM is set to low, but that depends on what you are running. Note: since EA4 we disabled RLimitMEM to many times Apache would render 500 errors especially on php 7+ We run CloudLinux so its better to have it restrict the user best to figure out what xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 46 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 37 were doing to create the error below

    Hello @Spirogg, It's possible that Apache wasn't actually down, but rather falsely detected as down by Chkservd (the service monitoring daemon). Do you notice any specific output to /var/log/chkservd.log during the time Apache was shown to be down? Thank you.

    I reinstalled centos 7 and then cpanel via command line and now it's working. Sorry for late response. And thanks for everyone's reply .

    Hi also forgot to mention this ips did not belong in my server and they were hitting me sit hard for extended periods .I guess like a ddos attack so I believe it would.kill.httpd and that's what caused the 500 error, in php-fpm I raised max clients to 20 it was set to 5 for fpm and then restarted server and it kept working even those 2 ips we're hitting the site... Then just because the vps used a template to build centos and cPanel. I decided to delete everything and rebuild it by myself .centos 7 first then cPanel from command line. Then set everything up again and no issues at all .I did set the php-fpm to 20 from 5 so maybe that was the issue ? Not sure but no issues now . Just thought I would add that info also . Thanks is for everyone's help Spiro
