Question
Mysql and FTP server stops or crashes
Hi,
We have a small server running on Ubuntu 14.04 with the Wordpress one click install. I’ve added a ftp server so we can upload certain files. The FTP server stops working every x-days/hours/minutes, but after a “service proftpd restart” command it works again.
When our site went live yesterday, the Mysql server stopped working as well (this happened twice), and after a reboot start working again. It had a peak of 100 simultaneous visitors.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Cheers,
Remy
P.s. server details: 512MB Ram 20GB SSD Disk Amsterdam 2

Try adding a 512MB Swap and make sure you are having a cache plugin install..
W3TC would be good idea !!
Also as already pointed by valley_webuzo, keep an eye on free RAM via
