Cpanel on Amazon,  isn't Amazon management interface enough?  Just curious.

Hmm, unlikely to come up if it crashes. This sounds like more of the whole instance crashing and then Amazon automatically restarting it. Check uptime.  If its really low, poke around the Amazon management interface and you should find the instance console.  It logs something there when the instance lock out hard enough to be unable to dump logs on filesystem

Nah, slow queries can never take database down. Need to check the mysql error file. Operating system message file too.

To be assisted, you need to get us logs. Anything short of that is guess work. And there must be some logs somewhere, just not obvious at first glance
