PHP_errorlog Overflow?

  • WordPress seemed to dump out about 20kb/s of error log (107mb in about 5 minutes) until it maxed out at 2gb and caused the server to go into a 500 internal error.

    Errors were reading:

    [02-May-2014 16:56:02 UTC] WordPress database error DELETE command denied to user ‘boost887_usr’@’localhost’ for table ‘wp_options’ for query DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘pib_old_version’ made by require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, Pinterest_Pin_It_Button->upgrade_plugin, include_once(‘/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button/includes/upgrade-plugin.php’), pib_do_all_upgrades, delete_option

    or:

    [02-May-2014 16:56:07 UTC] WordPress database error DELETE command denied to user ‘boost887_usr’@’localhost’ for table ‘wp_commentmeta’ for query DELETE FROM wp_commentmeta WHERE meta_id IN( 9 ) made by do_action_ref_array, call_user_func_array, akismet_delete_old_metadata, delete_comment_meta, delete_metadata

    Deleting/renaming the error log just caused it to generate a new one but brought the site back online. Updating to the new WordPress caused the error to stop (Don’t know if reinstalling wordpress would have also been another solution). Possibly the error was from WordPress not having permissions to delete the php_errorlog, but that wouldn’t have solved the problem permanently.

    My point though is that I pushed the update to 3.9 and it stopped. I’m concerned over this being a result of a googlecrawler trying to access a page, a plugin, or just being a general error from 3.8.3 and it happening again.

    Any thoughts?
