Rebooting makes it work?!

  • ive got a wierd one. Machine has been up and running, and unchanged for a very long time. Zero issues.

    Last week, i started getting some crazy CPU usage from httpd. CPU usage stays high for several hours. Eventually, the site stops working, and gives a “Error establishing a database connection” when you go to the page. Once this error starts, cpu goes back down to normal. So, one would think DB issue, or config problem. But when i reboot the machine, things come back up and work great.

    Again, short time passes, cpu goes up (httpd), eventually page stops working and gives the above error, and i reboot. Aside from putting a cron job in to reboot once every 1.5 hours what can i do?

    I just upgraded from 2.0.x to the latest build, and no change. I know apache and sql are still running after they hang, cause the Gallery2 db/page still works. Its just wordpress which goes for a dump
