Ive tried both.  And if that was the case - wouldnt it happen every time that file played?? I just looked at all the auto DJs.. the most songs anyone has is about 190..  which would be a maximum of 15 hours of music.  So Id think it happen in that time frame? Not the 80 to 120 hour mark every time.

IS there a Centova process that runs at 5am est? TOP report usually shows 1 running, sometimes 2 - just showed 5, with a load of 2.0 and within 2 mins.. was back at a load of .04

So this is the longest I have ever been up and running...


Now 11 days that Centova Support has now ignored my support messages and screen shots...

1) We have set up a cron job resetting all the Centova processes nightly at 4:30am EST
2) A second crob hourly to reset the cached memory.  I have found that with Centova running, the server eats up the memory - and foreces SWAP usage within about 2 hours.  But when Centova is not running, and all process are up - this acts much more normally and is a very slow process with memory released as needed.
3) Added additional DDOS protection


All this has led to 7 days and 10 hours or uptime - with the server running at loads of basically 0.00




BUT - I took a glance this morning and became very alarmed.   I was able to get one screen shot.  One of the SC-SERV processes has exploded to top of the usage list - at 54% CPU.  It flashes a very high number - and then off.

In addition the MyQSQL, when it pops up every thrid or 4th time is popping up 1600%!!!!

This cannot be normal.  No one is live. All my auto DJs are playing like normal like they have been the past 7 days.

Suggestions? Comments?  PLEASE!

Update..

So we killed the process ...   and it came right back - at the crazy usage percentages:

Have to love the support response 11 days later..

After my first server had "serious" hardware issues prompting me to migrate (and fwiw its run fine for two weeks without a hitch with other applications once Centova was off it)...

Now the Hard Drive on my current server is the diagnosis.


Can anyone look at those screen shots above and make a better guess?  There has to be a reason why one file is out of control - and cant be reset even when killing the PID or restarting all streams from the panel.

Why dont you give WHMsonic a try is centovacast isnt working out for you

Because Im into this for $600 now bewteen buying the license, the install, migration, service costs - and I have 50 or so accounts set up on it. To change everything over would not be fun.  And the constant crashes that have already cost me a ton of business - and now adding that Im switching, time to re-upload all your auto DJ files might not go over too well.


I just dont understand why every problem is a hardware issue.

If a SC SERV file is growing and growing in usage - you can reset every other one by stopping Centova of killing the PID - but this one file.   How can the diagnosis be a Hard Drive??
