My server been having issues since 1.8.12

My friend originally set up my server, but after it automatically updated to version 1.8.12, I started experiencing issues. Now, I have to restart Apache and PHP 7.3 every 40 minutes to keep my site running; otherwise, I get an “Internal Server Error” with Error Code 500, displaying the message: “Oops! Something went wrong. The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.”

My friend suggested that I might need to reinstall HestiaCP, but I’m wondering if there’s another way to resolve this. Can someone help?

uh there was an issue with the PHP repository about a year ago. I know I had SOME issues about that time, but I finally got that sorted out (for the most part).

TECHNICALLY, I show that there are 2 different lists of Php Available.
Under Site, Advanced, I CAN select Php 8.3.

Under the WORDPRESS quick install, I am NOT able to select php 8.3.

I don’t know if that is ACTUALLY reflective of an issue. But yeah. I’d look for the Yuri Repo fix and make sure that it’s not biting you.

Config file Wordpress Quick install is outdated will get updated in 1.9

Check your log files why It is causing this issue

1.8.12 did not change anything regarding php it self…

If your nginx conf is using 1024 worker connections, try to raise it to 2048:.

sed -i 's/worker_connections 1024/worker_connections 2048/' /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
systemctl restart nginx

Thanks so much. I did a REALLY poor job on ‘fixing’ the yuri patch problem. But my server’s been 98% rock solid and stable, so I’m really happy how things have worked out.

I just need to write some sort of ‘Watchdog’ script and if I can’t connect to mySQL on 3-5 straight attempts, then reboot the server. I don’t want this to happen EVERY time EVERY 3-5 minutes.

So I think it just needs to extend the time each time it reboots the server.

I changed it to 2048, but it’s still not working. I’ve noticed I have to keep restarting Apache and PHP 7.4 every 30 minutes, and I’m not sure what’s causing the issue.

Question, if you change the worker connections do you need to change the ulimits?

Usually you should have enough limits for max processes and max open files but you can check it easily querying the limits of one of the running nginx worker processes:

cat /proc/"$(ps -ef | grep '^www.*[n]ginx.*worker proc' | tail -n1 | cut -d ' ' -f2)"/limits

You might look at monit which is pretty lightweight

Rebooting the server is quite drastic. Might just need to restart mysql, phpfpm.
