Not sure where to start in troubleshooting this. I'm not finding anything indicating an issue in ProFTP logs or in /var/log/messages. So I do apologize for not having more information to give.
Overview:
RHEL 5 shared web server w/ Plesk 10. Uptime of 600 days, never had this issue previously, haven't made any changes to the system recently. Received complaints relating to both FTP and automated task issues. Both services were "stopped" (proftpd
and crond
). Restarted xinetd
and crond
, which temporarily solved the issues. Ran a yum update kernel*
. The next day, they are down again.
This isn't really my thing, and I'm a bit lost. I'd appreciate any help you can give about how to troubleshoot the issue, what logs to check, or what applications might help me monitor the services. Basically I'm lacking any meaningful information as to why this is happening.
Thanks so much guys! I'll happily post more info if needed.. Just not sure what would be useful.
