Thought this would be easy .... I was wrong!
Firstly I want to say hello. I don't like jumping into the nitty-gritty without really introducing myself.
I had a reseller account with someone who was admin on the server, and thought "Can't be much more to this!" Oh how i was wrong!
We recently aquired a dedicated server for our website. There is only the one website running on the server (3 accounts with 2 of them pointing to the other 1).
The website is a phpbb forum running on an SQL Database.
Since we setup the server we have had a few problems. We resolved one or two (resolving to the wrong IP and such) and we now have one serious problem. The CPU is running at MAX constantly.
I have looked in the WHM for the details by using "Main>Server Status>CPU/MYSQL/Memory Usage" and i get the following information.
sabret[this is the website]

Top Process %CPU 7.0 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir/ --datadir/var/lib/mysql --usermysql--pid-file/var/lib/mysql/t67.1paket.com.pid --skip-locking
Now I am stuck. How do i find out why the usages are so high, and how do i resolve it. For the minute, I can accept the high usage from the sabret account, but the other processes .... should they be running so high?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I will be searching the forums for any information including the FAQ section above.
Thanks in advance,
ConcreteMonkey
P.S. Please tell me if you need any more information. Also note that I am a novice who is dedicated to learning how to do this properly.
