Hi there.

I run a small webhosting service and i recently installed a IPB forum for a customer, Now everythin is fine with this as i have many customers running forums and sites.
But since ive added this specfic user my server seems to be drained. So thinking there maybe is too many accounts on this server and the load is high.
I moved his account to a sperate server with only 1 or 2 users on. Now this server had no problems before the user is added.

So i add the user from the other server, Now this server is doing the same.
i check the directadmin service monitor and its packed full of http and mysql connections for example

Code:
httpd (pid 12695 12703 12704 12705 12706 
12707 12708 12709 12710 12715 12718 12719 
12722 12723 
12724 12725 12728 12729 12730 12731 12732 
12733 12734 
12735 12738 12739 12740 12741 12742 12743 
12744 14032 14271 14379 14383 14384 14390 
14391 14731 14748 14749 14793 14795 14862
14332 14355 14434 16778 15435 14567 14656 
14743 13555 14384 14390 14391 14731 14748 
14749 14793 14795 14862 ect ect ect ect )

mysqld (pid 9570 9571 9572 9573 9574 9575 
9576 9577 9578 9579 14852 14855 14856 
14857 14858 14859 14860 148611276 
1315 18651 19064 19260 19261 19262 
19406 19413 19572 19575 19576 19579 
19725 19727 19774 19794 19882 19883 
19884 19885 20445 20448 20878 20911 
21090 21091 21092 21120 21121 21122 
21136 21137 21139 9570 9571 9572 9573 
9574 9575 9576 9577 9578 9579 14852 14855 
14856 14857 14858 14859 14860 14861 )

Now this grinds all sites on the server to a halt, What could possible be causing this? Untill i added this user everythin was running fine on both server.

Any help would be greatful
 
Hi there:

The new user as only just started his website so as very low traffic. around 100 visits per day and around 60 unique hits...

I could have understood this on the server where i have 15 clients but not on the server which only as 2 others users.

I have people who average over 1000 uniques per day and this server is fine untill i added this specific user, then when i added him to the new server which as very little traffic in total its the same.
 
Well then something they are doing is working the server. Start checking into their mail traffic, look to see if they are running some sort of mod to their forum or heck maybe the things is hacked and you are sending out SPAM.
