php 5.6.x issues

Hi,

I posted in https://www.virtualmin.com/node/40227 and andreychek advised I should start my own thread.

My original message was as follows: Hi, I'm not sure if my issue is 100% the same, please feel free to move to it's own thread if needed. My server had been running fine for several weeks and today it was offline. Turned out something was causing extremely high cpu usage. I managed to log into my server via SSH (webmin and wordpress admin would not load), but it was VERY slow. I stopped httpd, and performance was fine, restarted it, and it was slow, but better than previously.

I checked the Apache error log and noticed errors about mcrypt.so missing and fcgid warning and graceful kill failing. I followed the above instructions by navarro967 but it has not resolved my issue. I get the following errors in the Apache error log:

tail -n 100 /var/log/httpd/error_log

how do I reverse the changes I made when I installed mcrypt? how do I resolve this issue and get my site running again?

Since then I figured out (I think) how to uninstall mcrypt that was installed following the instructions in that threat, and I removed the php56more repo.

andreychek suggested it could be a DoS attack, overzealous spidering, or misbehaving WordPress module.

I'm a Windows guy, although I am not afraid of the CLI (learned DOS as a child long before moving to Windows), I much prefer a GUI and am somewhat familiar with Linux.

No mail should be running through the server, although mail servers are turned on, nothing is configured.

I'm not 100% sure what I am looking at with the top and ps aux commands. uptime only shows 3hrs in change because I rebooted the server then.

How do I check for a misbehaving wordpress module if I can't log into wordpress?

andreychek, thank you for helping.

would running this help?

yum reinstall php56 rh-php56-php-mysqlnd

I tried changing my php version to the default 5.4.x, but that gives the error:

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

however, no excessive cpu load or performance issues when httpd is running if php 5.4.x is configured instead of 5.6.x

Any and all help is much appreciated.

Update: Since the server ran fine with httpd running when php 5.4.x was enabled, but complaining about MySQL extension missing, I did the following:

yum install php-mysqlnd

now my site runs, server performance seems to be normal.

So now the question is, how to I fix php 5.6.x?
