Q: 

What's holding up my PHP script?

We've got a PHP crawler running on our web server. When the crawler is running, there are no cpu, memory or network bandwidth spikes. Everything is normal. But our website (also PHP), hosted on the same server, stops responding. Basically the crawler blocks any other php script from running.

What could be the problem?

EDIT:

** fsockopen is being used to download files to crawler! **

+1  A: 

Did you look into the error.log file?

There are no outstanding errors. The crawler otherwise works fine. The website works fine when the crawler is not running. But the website stops responding when the crawler starts running.
