Hello, My server has WHM / cpanel. Apache out of the blue has become bit of a pain. It's non-responsive, then randomly will become responsive for about 10 seconds then die again. WHM cant load Apache's status when it's unresponsive. The only process that looks to be an error is: /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=/var/lib/mysql/server.domain.cc.err --open-files-limit=2120 --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/server.675.cc.pid I have no clue what to do, any advice is welcomed! :/

  Check the Apache error log /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

  Hello :) The process you referenced is normal, and is for MySQL. Let us know the error messages you see in the Apache error log when you experience this issue. Thank you.

  Hello thanks for the replies. I eventually fixed it. Thankfully with wasn't anything to do with Apache, however I was the victim of a DOS attack. The Apache log showed a IP address timing out consistently (related to a school server in the US). Blocked the IP address via iptables and all is working fine! So frustrating :)
