Internal Server Error

Hi,

Could you update to the most current version and see if that helps?

Thanks,

Gerroald

Didn’t help. ??

WAIT! Sorry, I thought you meant the new version of WordPress (I was using 4.1, it just updated itself to 4.1.1) but I just saw there’s a new update for this plugin. More testing required … will report back shortly!

Nope, sorry, still getting the error message.

I’m getting the same error repeatedly and seeming randomly when the website loads – even when I try to update plugin settings.

I apologize if I am taking over this thread but I am having the same problem. I keep getting this warning (along with the Internal Server Error):

“Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 30408704) (tried to allocate 1195477 bytes) in …wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/modules/free/backup/class-itsec-backup.php on line 210”

On line 210 (which the error refers to) it says:
$row[$j] = preg_replace( '#' . PHP_EOL . '#', "\n", $row[$j] );

I’m also getting errors for line 145.

Have just updated to 4.6.10 and still having the problem. It happens on both back and front end.

Other installed plugins:
Akismet
Auto ThickBox Plus
Jetpack by WordPress.com
Missed Schedule
Simple Yearly Archive

Installed but not active:
Add From Server

I will do the usual deactivation of these and re-test when I have the time, but ’til then maybe you know of conflicts that exist against any of these? Or can guess that certain ones may have a conflict, so I can start there?

Any help is appreciated. I think your plugin is otherwise great – easy to use and mostly easy to understand. ?? (The stuff I don’t understand, I leave alone!)

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I deactivated all other plugins except Akismet and still get the Internal Server Error.

Then I reactivated all other plugins and deactivated iThemes Security. I no longer get the Internal Server Error.

So it’s definitely a problem with this plugin. Right?

I am going to try re-installing iThemes Security and leave the settings at Default and see what happens.

Hmmm … not sure if I am just talking to myself here or if anyone is actually listening.

I re-installed iThemes Security and followed the popup instructions to get it going and then left it. No error messages. Then I went into the Dashboard and the first “High Priority” item was to schedule backups, so I did. I only checked the box to activate backups. And when I clicked Save Changes, I got the Internal Server Error. Then I got it a couple more times, while viewing and saving posts.
I disabled Backups and no longer get the error message.

So here’s the thing: on installing the plugin, the first popup that comes up shows four things to do first, the first of which advises to backup the site. I click the button to do it and it shows “Waiting”. And it showed waiting for two or three hours before I finally clicked the Dismiss link in the bottom corner. (I should note that this happened the first time I installed as well – it took forever to backup and I hit Dismiss.)
I don’t know if there’s too much on my site to backup or if there’s a corruption somewhere, but it really seems to have a problem backing it up, and it seems obvious that is what was throwing up the error messages.

Hopefully that helps you, Gerroald, pinpoint the problem in the plugin, or possibly let me know if there is something I can do to be able to use the Backups option.

Thanks!
