General Support / Many stalled php processes
« on: April 26, 2017, 07:05:37 PM »
I noticed today that whenever I went to go to login as a normal user, the script would stall forever. I thought it was just my internet, so I asked a coworker to login and she experienced the same thing: the script was stalling for over an hour till she gave up.
When I did a ps aux | grep php, here is what I saw

There were around 50 or so process and this site is not public yet. Could this be why the login hangs?
This is on a dedicated server with 4 CPUs and 16 GBS of ram.
The current load average is 4.91 4.61 4.44 on a server that gets around half a million page views a month and has an average load average of 0.75
So has anyone had a similar problem before? I know I can just reboot the server and kill all those old processes, but how did they get there in the first place? Also, this is a cPanel server, if it matters
Thanks for all your help!
