Hello,

I am getting high server load on my server. The load average in my WHM is almost
500.

This is the process that I see alot on WHM > System Health > Process Manager

graceful

I am no server expert. please Help Me.

Tell me what information I should give about the server. and How do I get those information.

Thank You,
Farida Dobani.

whats your php limits set to ? seems like a huge file upload or a process just stuck or corrupted ??

Those processes in the process manager are apache child processes serving requests. The process manager won't give you much information regarding this. Check the apache status to see which requests they are serving.

Yetishare recommends nginx => https://yetishare.com/nginx.html

I recommend using nginx and not using panel whatever cPanel/WHM or other, I currently use a stack of easyengine working good but there should be little change.

I do agree with him, don't use any panel. Use EasyEngine.

Lots of people recommending nginx without knowing the problem.

Nginx is only better in serving static files. For php scripts apache and nginx have similar performance. Using nginx in this case will only help if this 500 server load is caused by apache serving static files.

And cpanel makes you life very easy. I don't recommend not using a control panel if you don't have a good technical knowledge in linux.
