mick2me 3,033 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Heres one of the problems. Spambot registrations. Every new registration here is checked against Spambot databases, checking username/email address/IP address. Those that are known Spambots or IPs are blocked and logged on the databases. In the last 24 hours 84 spambot registrations were blocked and sent to 'Stopforumspam' and 'Projecthoneypot' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I can't recall the name of them Mick, but to make sure a registration is human or machine, can't you add one of those word registrations, ie type the word into a box.. That stops spambots dead in their tracks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alisoncc 379 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Mick, 84 spambots in 24 hrs amounts to 1 every 1,000 seconds. Given that a properly setup commercial server can handle hundreds of such requests a second, one every one thousands seconds is nothing. You really need to look elsewhere. When my server was the subject of a DDOS - Distributed Denial of Service, attack I was getting 20 hits per seconds.So yes that killed my machine for the duration of the attack, but it still responded to each one.

mick2me 3,033 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 CAPTCHA is enabled on registration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Alison Have you any knowledge of using this system? Also Jailshell SSH access has been enabled for your account. Connection is available on the server via port 21098.You can find more information about how to access your hosting account via SSH at:http://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/1016/89/how-to-access-my-hosting-account-via-ssh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Don't profess to have any particular knowledge of IBoard forum software, but have run stacks of other webserver sofware - Joomla, Mambo, Wordpress, Drupal, SMF, etc.etc. etc. and definitely know my way around Apache, PHP and MySQL. There should be a pile of server setup parameters within IPBoard. Parameters relating to caching, java and page compression, stay-alive entry points, etc. Plus PHP allocated memory, whether memchache is enabled, etc. Having SSH - secure shell access isn't that important. It just means you can run CLI progs, like updates. For instance Drupal has Drush, which has numerous very powerful shell scripts which need to be run via SSH. PS. Got alot on at present, not sure that I could give it the time it needs though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in reply.We've checked your error logs and found some "Could not allocate memory" errors.To provide more memory for your php scripts we've enabled default php.ini and increased memory limit to 512 MAs we can see, your resource usage has normal values now.Please track your account's performance and inform us if the issue remains.

To provide more memory for your php scripts we've enabled default php.ini and increased memory limit to 512 M As I said previously: Plus PHP allocated memory, whether memchache is enabled, etc. Still got problems though.

MELTONSTILTON 452 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Maybe it is just a case of Zyma, not being as good as they say they are ........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Zyma were the previous host provider, not the current one. The reason why it used to crop up was that the "server error 500" error message was one of theirs. I did a cheap and cheerful tweak to the code to remove the reference to them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
