GET or POST

Hi,

I have a big problem, my DirectAdmin freezes:

Cannot find first space after where GET or POST should be

(./directadmin b200 logs, up)

Only restart DA helps ;(

Hello,

Is your directadmin updated to the latest available release?

 

[stimax]

Yes, its 1.42.1

Hello,

1) Increase the number of default child processes to something like 20.
Edit:
/usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf

Change:
numservers=5

to:
numservers=20

DA does automatically scale the number up, but doesn't go above 15, I believe.

2) In the logs:
/var/log/directadmin/2013-Mar-XX.log (replace XX with date)

check to see which IPs are linked to the "BAD REQUEST".

If they're valid logins, then it's just many Users, probably many of which are connecting at the same time, or many who are using Chrome..

The other possibility, if it's not an IP with a valid login, is that they're just plugging up all connections, in which case you'd want to block them from connecting to the server (firewall block)
