After a week of complete frustration, I finally got Drupal to work on VPS. I have to run suphp which wonderfully slows it down but it works. I don't mind a little slower as long as there are no more 503 errors.
There is one little bug though. When I run cron manually, it does actually run. It just doesn't send me to the admin/reports/system page -- it says http://example.com/admin/reports/system/run-cron page not found. We turned off the suphp and were running with DSO which caused a whole slew of other problems but the cron did complete and redirect to the proper page when it was finished.
I found a blurb on drupal.org that said to run suphp there can not be any php.ini directives in .htaccess. So I erased them and translated them to a php.ini file that is in the public_html directory. I think the whole system runs a little faster by a second or two.... not sure. Still it doesn't help the cron problem.
Does anybody have any thoughts on the subject? Better yet, how does a person install Drupal on a VPS? I've been having no luck what-so-ever!
