plesk psa service stops freqently

[Joel_Ouburg]

for some reason since this morning my server stops the psa service frequently
the rest of the server works normal.

OS Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Panel version 11.0.9 Update # 63, last updated on Oct 26, 2014 7:57 AM
The system is up to date; last check on Jan 30, 2015 7:07 AM

in the error_log following message applies

when i start the psa service back up

(log.c.166) server started

after a view minutes :

(server.c.1543) server stopped by UID = 1003 PID = 23899

what could there be possibly going wrong ?

some more cpu info

First of all check that you have no any related cronjob with

# crontab -l

 

[Joel_Ouburg]

#
crontab -l

No crontab for root

also under the planned tasks in plesk in information & settings as on the domain level there has no tasks been planned.

also an new dump og the error log since it has some more information

Hello Joel,
Start by finding out who actually is that user with UID 1003

grep ":1003::" /etc/passwd

Chances are, could be your client, get into there account and see if they have any cron jobs that could be hint on the cause ...

 

[Joel_Ouburg]

grep ":1003::" /etc/passwd

Dosnt give any return with or without psa service started.

the server has no other users than me

 

[Joel_Ouburg]

tried getent passwd

there i find the following with the 1003

How about:

tail -f /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log

If you like I can check it out for you in-depth for free..

tail -f /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log

If you like I can check it out for you in-depth for free..

the date stamps are long before the issue started

also as long i keep switching between pages within plesk admin pannel it dosnt close the service
but if i wait for like a minute the service stops

between 15:38:13 and 16:00:47 i kept clicking form page to page wich kept psa service on longer

Have you recently installed a system resource monitoring tool? or CSF / LFD firewall script. A tool that monitors the CPU / RAM usage and attempts to kill idle processes or processes that are consuming more CPU / RAM than allocated?

 

[Joel_Ouburg]

no system has been untouched from oktober last year.

the installation has been done 2012 from an image on the parallels website

no addons haven been installed more than the automatic updates from plesk

could a large mysql db cause this ?

 

[Joel_Ouburg]

tried cleaning out the db but didnt effect on the issue

anyone any ideas what could cause it ?

i noticed i could also not log in to ssh useing winscp or putty

looking at the auth.log i see the following error



could a failing ssh cause psa to drop ?
