Diagnose Scheduled PHP Outages
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
My production app runs on PHP 7.4 with CodeIgniter 3. A few weeks ago—right after moving the server from E2E to DigitalOcean—it began going down like clockwork at 11:30 AM and again at 7:00 PM. No code changes were involved; only the hosting environment shifted.
I need a careful investigation that starts with server logs (web server, PHP-FPM, system, MySQL) and includes cron jobs, resource spikes, firewall rules, and anything else that could trigger those time-bound failures. Once you isolate the culprit, apply or outline a fix, then monitor long enough to confirm the application stays online through at least one full cycle.
Deliverables:
• Concise report showing the root cause with supporting log excerpts
• Implemented (or clearly documented) remedy
• Proof of stable operation after the fix (uptime logs / screenshots)
Tools you’ll probably touch: Linux, DigitalOcean console, ssh, Nginx or Apache, PHP 7.4, CodeIgniter 3, MySQL, cron, systemd. I’ll provide full server access and am ready to test changes immediately.
