Site Hanging

I've just moved a site from a 1and1 business hosting account to a 1and1 'cloud' server with cpanel. The site at the new location just hangs every now and then (the rest of the time it is lightning fast) - no errors, nothing in modx logs or server logs to indicate a problem.

Im new to this type of server so not at all sure about the settings, particularly how Apache/nginx work together to serve files. Could be barking up the wrong tree but my gut feeling is that it's the way Apache/nginx are working: Proxy mode is checked, nginx caching is unchecked.

Any idea of what might be happening?

PHP Version 7.1.23
MODX Revolution 2.6.5-pl
5.5.60-MariaDB

Are you using more than one context?
If so, try to define a error_page setting for each context.

When you say it's "hangs" what does that mean? What actions are being performed (loading a page, submitting a form, etc.). If you can post your config files for Apache/nginx and PHP that will be helpful to us as well.

Cheers

The whole site would just stall now and then - manager and front-end. So it would take maybe 10 seconds to navigate from one page to another and then it would be ok for an hour. I may have solved it but just testing.

The problem appears to be the way the database is connected i.e...

localhost:3306 - Bad

##.##.##.##:3306 - Good

...so connecting by using the ip address seems to work.

Glad to hear you may have it sorted out. Post back with your final outcome for the community please.

Cheers
