all my sites suddenly stopped working the last few days. when I go to any web site URL i would get an error. I can log into the VPS Control panel and check errors or dns or blind server and everything is up. check errors message and dont see anything or am i missing something?
something caused Apache, Blind or MySQL? to just stop working and don’t come back again. this is a problem cause it happens for 1-5 hours at a times. this is a new server co-located within the usa. i have another server co located in panama (2 years now) that doing the same thing but no more than 5-10 min and i just took it as the area i was in the connection drop a lot but i know this is not true
what else can I check (what log files?) what caused apache or blind to just stop and start - my server in panama was setup and install by THIS SUPPORT. the second server here i install without any errors.
i think myself as a newbie just maybe something more i needed to do after install. is there check list i can go thru? i really need help with this
thank you
john
