maybe it's being DDoSed
check your incoming connections

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?

[dark_hunter]

Site is loading but server is over loaded and times out. What server type you on? Shared? VPS? Dedi?

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.

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)

^ delete all the posts older than yr. Reduce ur DB size & that may help u alot

[soft2050]

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.
