MySQL/Wordpress issue
-
Well I think things are looking up. That was a good idea from Scott to shut down Apache and then work with mysql. I think you can go ahead and start Apache back up and let those run for a while to see what happens.
-
As soon as I start Apache2 MySQL stops working.
-
@wls-itguy Well thats a bummer. What does your apache error log say when that happens?
-
Okay, there is a really good chance that we have a WordPress issue here. I think that rolling back to before the last update might be the logical place to start.

Any bets on a compromised plugin causing issues?

If you want to isolate to WP (thought I cannot see how it is anything else), I would shut down apache,
mvyour WP directory elsewhere and start apache back up. -

mvyour WP directory elsewhere and start apache back up.True, but in theory it is the only thing running on Apache. So likely it was isolated in the last test, unless the other info wasn't correct.

Correct, but because of possible compromise issues, or just something he does not know about because he did not set it up, there is always a chance.
I do agree it will probably not come back showing anything but WP to be the issue.
-
I would check the Apache logs before rolling back as well.
Has the server been completely restarted? (I've followed the thread and haven't seen any mention of that.)

How about disabling plugins?

Yes. A few times
-
What's do the Apache logs look like?
(most likely in /var/log/apache2/apache.log and error.log)

There isn't an apache.logError Log:

From my earlier post it still looks like you are getting spammed.
This: [Fri Jul 21 09:11:40 2017] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting
says that to me. In your Apache2.conf file you can adjust that using an editor then restart Apache. Since you are on Linode you will find this useful, tuning apache. -
Scroll down about half way in that link and you will see an apache module where and how you can adjust the MaxClient's setting
-
changing the MaxClients and ServerLimit doesn't fix anything.
Although moving my wordpress files does allow both apache and mysql to run

That 100% confirms that it is WP. Which is what we suspected, but that proves it.

Yes. Now how to fix it
Would now be the time to move the site to a dedicated WP host? -
You restarted Apache after you changed the .conf file correct?

yes. Both Apache & MySQL as well as restarted the server.
