Hey there, im hoping that someone on these forums can help as im just at a loss.

Recently everything was running smoothly, server hit over 1yr of uptime and DA was solid as a rock. Server went down for a reboot for new internal fans, and a good clean up inside to prevent overheating.

Since the server came back online, nearly every 16hrs my DirectAdmin keeps crashing, more specifically Exim and HTTPd, DA still remains working. The thing that is getting me though, is that there is nothing i can see major in the logs, maybe im missing something?

I would really care for some guidence if someone has the time? and if i can get the problem fixed im quite willing to pay the person for their help.

i also have MSN: [email protected]
if anyone can help or has had the same problem please get in contact on where i should start. Im willing to paste here any logs someone might request so they can look into the problem

Many Thanks!
 
How do you know it crashes? Does the process completely stop and it issues a restart or does it just freeze up.
 
Basically httpd crashes along with Exim, and then doesnt automatically restart the Process's, all the cron's are in place and if i do via SSH

service httpd start
service exim start

everything comes online. Then maybe 4hrs later it dies again for no reason, 0 reasons why it would crash in any of my logs

Anyone got time to maybe lend a hand?

This is this only thing in my logs i see

I think mine is the same sort of problem ive had that problem before, with exim.

Only difference is after a small time my exim for some reason allows me to just start HTTPd and Exim without problems (maybe 30mins)

Then the problem is that HTTPd and Exim wont start by themselves like they should do
