Hello,
I got a problem with my server when I install phpcow. Yesterday it was normal, but today, all my sites on this server were down one day. Cpanel/WHM is fine, but http does work. The support checked server and nothing wrong with network or package loss.
So, the problem happens since I installed this script. I had to hire a management server company to fix, but I have not got their reply yet.
Do you guys have any experience with this issue? Please give an advise.
Thank you,
Thanh
I've never had server issues myself. Where do you get the server through? if I may ask.

No problem. I got server from volumedrive.com (US). I am using it for a year, but never got the issue like this. Where is your server by the way?
Try restarting apache and tail the the error logs when you restart. Normally that holds the clue most of the time.
This website and a bunch of them are on a VDS through Servint. I love them personally. There customer service is unbeatable. They literally have live support on 24/7 I couldn't say enough good things about them!
I have never been a great advocate of VDS as there's always a tendency to oversell server resources. As the entire box (not VDS) becomes loaded there are problems and that's when Software Vs HW game of musical chairs start.
There may be alot out there that over sell and are Bad hosts but I have never had a minute of downtime with Servint nor any issues with it. Godaddy on the other hand is a whole other story.

I tried to restart or even rebuild apache, but it did not help. Sometime all sites are fine, but sometime extremely. I do not know why. It makes me like crazy

And what's your traffic if i may ask? I know two sites which pulled off from them around 18 months back as the sites on two different VDS's at Servint used to be down due to overload for busy time of day.

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
What do you see there when you restart and yet your sites don't run. Just a wild guess, it could be a VDS on an oversold box. Is your VDS swapping badly?
run vmstat -n 1 and check on values on si and so
