Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just had this message, not seen it before anywhere: Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 22020096) (tried to allocate 491520 bytes) in /home/nottstal/public_html/forums/cache/skin_cache/cacheid_13/skin_topic.php on line 650 If it's of any help, this article suggests either getting the host to allocate more memory, and/or adding a PHP.ini file into folders - http://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-out-of-memory-allocated-30408704 Hope this helps in some small way!

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 A message has been sent to Server support to identify processes that are causing problems. In order to run as normal during this time all board facilities have been turned back on. This may lead to more 500 - 508 errors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 From support forums, Its a combination of problems, one of which I have been warning of for some years. Database size! The server has to handle half a gigabyte of posts, in the database. This is why I have continually asked members not to excessively quote previous posts We may have to start deleting older posts from the database. Meanwhile I await the reply from server support.

Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 May I suggest that you delete Word Association and Song Association (Any Era) to date and then start them afresh?They are ridiculous games anyway. Looking at the number of replies to each Topic, I would hazard a guess that a large percentage of your data base consists of individual posts for both Topics. I do not think anyone would go back more than half a dozen entries to check replies. Then again, I am not a computer person. As for 'quotes' - that facility has not worked for me for the past week or more....I am unable to delete/copy all or part of a reply without going outside to the 'Full Editor' as I described before. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Good point, Trevor. There's nearly 23,000 posts in the Word thread alone. And from what little I know, while the content of each post is small, I assume each post would be indexed. Would it be a big deal to delete it and maybe start again? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Another site I visit has two similar threads and they are regularly deleted to keep the site clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Rob L, Shouldn't be a problem for Admin to delete these two Topics contents to date; especially having seen what they can delete in the past. In addition, I see that we have our replies to those posts in our personal profile. Their removal would also remove a lot of dead wood. The original Joke Topic site could be erased?? - not the ' all new jokes go here' though. Come on, mick2me, get your razor out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 It's traffic that's causing the problems, not old threads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just ran a PHPMyAdmin SQL query on the database and it's only 511.57 MB, which isn't particular huge. Have a similar database on my home webserver that has successfully supported a database of 700MB. Just had half a dozen crashes, yet these are the current numbers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hello Mick,Thank you for contacting Namecheap Support Team!As we can see at the moment your website runs properly and we cannot check for exact processes which cause high load. Could you please contact us via Live Chat when you get the error next time?We also can enable Shell Access for your account so that you could check your processes via SSH console by yourself (with help of 'top' command). If you would like us to proceed with enabling SSH we would need to verify your ownership of the account, so please provide us with:Namecheap account username:Namecheap Support Pin. You can find it here:XXXXOnce you have confirmed the above details, we will process your request.We would also like to recommend considering upgrade to our Business, VPS 2 or VPS 3 hosting packages. Business hosting is considered as the best solution if you wish to increase your account’s resource usage limits only. The VPS hosting allows you to not only increase allocated CPU time’s maximum by at least 50%, but also to have full control of your hosting account’s configuration. Please, note that handling a VPS requires basic server administration skills, at least.Please let us know in which way would you like to proceed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 So if it's not the size of the database, what else? Google? I noticed it was showing as an active member earlier. Would the custom skin be an issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bots like Google if they visit too many pages create load. There is a way of limiting their page hits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Keep at it Mick...you will get there. The work that you put in to keep this site up and running is phenomenal and I for one am in awe of your patience and dedication; particularly as you see no monetary benefit from this site. Thanks Mate. By the way, nothing has changed down here - still a RRPITA. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Still page errors this morning. CPU/Memory use rocketed. Now seeking advice from Invision Forum support... Recently moved hosting and we are now getting lots of '500' etc. error pages and site problems. We were in semi dedicated but are now in shared hosting. Seems our resources are causing problems with CPU and Virtual Memory on the new host. I have disable hooks that are little used but still getting the problems. Can anyone advise what is likely to cause such high usage on the server. Is it Visitors, Bots etc or is there anything further I can change in ACP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
