Server keeps crashing - Need help to understand why?

Posted on September 8, 2014

Good morning all,

I’m not sure where to start really.

My wordpress server seems to crash every so often, it can be anywhere between 1 and 2 weeks.

The website just doesn’t load, comes up with page cannot be displayed. I restart the server and it loads just fine after that.

Can someone please give advice how to investigate further? Or even how to provide logs?

James

Thanks for your response. I have installed that.

I followed the guides for RAM and it has 1gb physically and 4gb in swap, so be surprised. I don’t get the usual “error establishing database connection” usually associated with RAM.

I can’t see any log file you mentioned, although there is an error log created this morning and it details a lot of askminet so it could be that?

I am running Ubuntu 14.04
