I have an ubuntu 14 server running nginx. I use it for a WordPress website
Out of the blue for no reason the php5-fpm shuts down automatically (I am not sure it even is called shutdown, I get the nginx error page).
This is the message I get now on my site::
An error occurred.
Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please
try again later.If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should
check the error log for details.Faithfully yours, nginx.
I restarted the php5-fpm from the command line and my site goes up for 30-40 seconds and then it goes down again.
What can be the reason? How can the php5-fpm decided on itself to do this? If it helps I’ll add that this is a digital ocean server
Thanks upfront!
I faced the same problem, Click here! to solve.
Its because your resource was fully utilized by xmlrpc.php. Possibly Brute force attack.
Block access to xmlrpc.php in nginx config.
