    Wordpress crashes my server - any advice?

    It seems a lot of people here are running adult blogs with Wordpress installations. I tried to switch my site to Wordpress as well but it seems my server can't handle the traffic. First the database connection dropped, so I installed WP Cache. That worked for a few hours but now my server is completely dead. Don't tell me I need a bigger machine - the one I'm running should be fine. Is there any general advice on Wordpress installations?
    Thanks.

      this could be any number of things

      does your server actually crash or does apache crash or what exactly is dying...assuming its a UNIX/Linux server this can tell you everything you need to know

      my guess is it isnt actually crashing the server but crashing your process.

      In general make sure you have up to date versions of PHP and MySQL and make sure that you have any updates/patches for your OS installed.

          Thanks, Mike. Will ask my server admin. Yes, it's Linux. First only my Wordpress built site went down because the database connection got killed while static pages that are sitting in another location on the server still worked. Now it seems the whole server is down. Guess I'm not very lucky with this Wordpress thing...

              In general wordpress isnt that demanding even on a very high traffic system, is your server shared or dedicated?

              regardless your server admin can run any number of unix diagnostics that will indicate what the problem is but it could be anything from kernel parameters to needing an update for PHP or MySql

                      It's a dedicated server. Will check for the PHP/MySql update.

                              Are you running one of those "show the recent referrers" scripts? In years of using WordPress the only thing I've done that killed it was install a referral plugin that managed to thrash mySQL so hard it brought my box to a screeching halt.

                              I'm sure that was poor plugin design, but still.

                                      Forkbeard, I do run a plugin that is called UserOnline, from http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/read...seronline.html. Maybe that's the problem?

                                          disable your plugins then re-enable them one at a time...that would narrow that down but take webair up on the offer to have an admin do the diags on it...that will tell you REAL quick...unlike windows, when anything in UNIX dies Unix has knowledge of what it was and why it died, all you gotta do is know how to ask it.

                                              Thanks, Mike, will do. I'm pretty sure now it's the plugin but I'll happily accept your offer if I still can't solve the problem. What server details would your tech guy need?

                                                  the current php version is 5.2.5

                                                  mysql 5.0

                                                  make sure that the version of WP you are using is compatible with your 4.x versions

                                                              But actually I'm wondering. The latest Wordpress release only requires this:
                                                              PHP version 4.2 or greater
                                                              MySQL version 4.0 or greater
                                                              So do I really need the 5 versions?

                                                                                                  CPU , memory or the most likely culprit .
                                                                                                  Config of apache ( how many allowed connections ) could also be the problem.

                                                                                                          Not the one that gave me fits, but it could be similar. As somebody else pointed out, with plugins the trick is to disable them one by one until the problem goes away. Or, faster, turn them all off to see if the problem goes away, then turn them back on one by one until it comes back.

                                                                                                                      2 gigs would be normal

                                                                                                                      under normal uses you will run out of ram before you run out of cpu power

                                                                                                                      plus ram is pretty cheap nowdays.

                                                                                                                      all of my dual xeons have at least 2 gigs ram

If a rented box, well maybe check the top command to see ( that is hat I ran a few post avbove ).

Pageviews is actually pretty much the same as for your client. Will check the top command and then decide. Thanks.

Remember, I'm not even a Webair customer (yet!) but they had one of their tech guys take a look at my server and I got some very helpful input from it. And then they put me together with another of their stuff who is a Wordpress expert and who took almost 2 hours of his time to help me.
