DirectAdmin Forums

Hi,I saw couple days ago that all forms in multiple websites just stopped working. I have several Wordpress websites on one server, Im using latest DirectAdmin, all updates installed and it just not sending emails from forms.When I try to send message from form I get an error: "There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later."It is not from wordpress fault, it just stopped on all websites in different WP versions.Same case when I try to send simple form in clean php script.It looks like phpmail? function stopped or was blocked. I wasn't made any configuration changes / not touched server in that time, so I assume it is not my changes.Do you have any ideas how to make it work again?Please help me fix this.

Most of the time I have found this to be caused by Apache waiting for processes and all the connections getting used up, and you see slow website performance or connection issues. Can be caused my many factors, often from low ram, mysql performance issues (needs optimization), too slow cpu, slow storage system... How much memory does the server have? Is there any swap in use? (

With the latest updates I see no performance issues on any of the servers I manage.

In general I have been doing in place upgrades with Debian, problems can happen, after the upgrade make sure DA/custombuild is updated for your new version of your OS and have custombuild rebuild everything to make sure everything is compiled against the new libraries just in case. If you have never done it before, it would be a good idea to setup a test environment and do it a bunch of times. (If you don't have an extra license just get a personal one to test with for a month.) And always have a full backup done before on any production system before upgrades in case you need to restore/roll back. In general I can do an in place upgrade in just over an hour on most servers (I like to be careful and not overly hurry, spend lots more time after just checking things), usually do upgrades early Sunday moings 3am-ish on production servers when most of my customers are probably sleeping, gives lots of time to check things when your done, and fix any issues that may happen.For myself I have a daily full system backup images done daily, I keep at least the last 3 days or more, daily DA admin backups of all users, and on all important servers de-duplicated file system backups of all important system areas (/etc, /usr/local/directadmin, /home, /var/log i know silly but i do it in case something happens, and a few more I can't think of right this second), every 6 hours with a retention of 30 days or more, yes all this takes up a lot of storage on multiple backup servers.
