Public bug reported: I launch an 32 bit, instance-store, c1.medium server in eu-west-1 based from the official Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy ami-beb993ca and install the following packages with apt-get...
apache2 php5 php5-mysql php5-curl php5-cli imagemagick vsftpd xfsprogs postfix ...and also make sure all software is up to date with apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Then attach a 10GB EBS volume and use that to store the apache files for a PHP based website. I redirect my web traffic to this instance and it uses around 40-50% CPU and outgoing bandwidth is around 5Mbps The instance runs fine for a few hours (varies from 2 to 4 hours in tests) before the CPU suddenly climbs to 100% and the instance becomes unresponsive. Rebooting it via the Amazon Management Console fixes everything for another few hours. The output of uname -a is... Linux ip-10-235-21-236 2.6.24-10-xen #1 SMP Tue Sep 8 19:06:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux Attached is the output of ec2-get-console-output of the locked instance just after it was rebooted ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: ec2-images -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745108 Title: EC2 instance CPU goes to 100% and locks -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
