I have this server:
Dual Xeon 3.4GHz HT
4GB Memory
100MBit Uplink
2x300GB SCSI 10k Disks
Software
Apache 1.33
PHP 4.4.0
MySQL 4.1.13
cpanel 10.8x Current
APF
BFD
LSM
SIM
LES
mod dosevasive
mod throttle

Server Load:
CPU: always less than 0.25
Memory: always less than 20%
Disk: 10% usage
tmp: 2% usage
Problem: server is loading sites on/off. Half the time the pages lock u and give "page not found". This appies to all sites on the server (just a few as well).
1. Vbulletin forum (no more than 10-15 concurrent users max) about 300 unique hits per day
2. Business site (simple flash / php) about 300 unique hits per day
I do not know why it is happening but I am asking if maybe anything I installed above may cause this? Nothing was customized after the default installation (other than php/my.cnf mentioned)
Please let me know what could use the sites to act abnormally like the following
1. no page found
2. slow page load
3. normal page load (becomming almost rare).
I tried: Avant browser, IE 6.x (completely cleared cache/cookies and all). I'm on a cable LAN modem (extremely fast).

I modified php.ini to up the memory allowance to 32mb and even 64mb but that was not the problem. I disabled APF firewall and SIM (uninstalled) to est but also not the problem.
Any help is appreciated.
