Problems with the engine scripts

[fred]

Hi,

It seems, when a more than a few users per hour register, the engine (perl) scripts go haywire. We currently are registering 100 users / hour and on the server you see a lot of serv-mngr and dmn-mngr scripts running making load on the server and, what's worse, corrupting the user installations.

We have seen;

- half installed user dirs; missing a bunch of dirs (like htdocs)
- corrupt ispcp.conf apache file
-- half written
-- missing closing tags
-- missing the include file for a user
- corrupt dns files
- linux user / group not made (but the rest is)
- apache/dns done, but user not in the domain table of the db (???)
and more...

Ofcourse with almost all the above apache and bind will not restart anymore and your host will be down and out.

This with the current version of ispcp and pushing 100+ new users / hour, however it starts even at +/-20 /hour.

I thought I report this as it seems no-one tested it under any load? When you do a serious campaign for your hosting company, 20 / hour is not that weird the pull in. Currently (with the fcgi/php bug) and those scripts it is impossible to do this.

Thanks
