Remove the block and check whether the backlog has been cleared and IC is responding once again. If this test succeeds then the problem is flood/backlog related. If not then, well, it was worth a try.In effect, I think I have verified that Apache doesn't start responding again even if port 80 were to be blocked. Once MaxClients has been hit Apache stops servicing requests as it won't spawn any more processes and for whatever reason non of the Apache processes ever die after this point, even if the server is left for many hours over night when I know the traffic to my site is very low indeed. Ron & Jeff - do you also see this effect?I will take a look next time the event happens while I'm in the office. What you describe seems to be what happened when MaxClients was reached last time. Lots of processes running, but none of them getting anything done.
Ditto
I have a cron job to optimize the tables once a week in the middle of the night.I did notice some MySQL processes taking more time and processor usage then normal last night so I decided to run an optimize on all of my tables. The site definitely sped up and the site did not need a restart last night. I'm not sure if they are connected or not, but perhaps John and Jeff can run optimize on their tables and then see if the issue continues to happen.
