WordPress index.php is hanging a Hostgator Virtual Private Server

  • We recently moved our wordpress sites to a Hostgator VPS with 4gb of memory. Several times since the migration one of the wordpress installations seems to take up all of the 4gb of memory resulting in the VPS hanging. The script Hostgator is flagging is index.php which has NOT been modified at all.

    Has anyone seen this issue?

    Please HELP its driving me up a wall.

    The wordpress configuration is:

  • This really doesn’t have anything to do with WordPress itself. Any high traffic site will generate issues on a VPS if the VPS is not configured correctly.

    The errors flag index.php because that is the main file that is hit by web traffic, but the real issues are misconfiguration of PHP, MySQL and Apache.

    You need to talk to Hostgator. If it’s a managed VPS, you are already paying them for help with it. If it’s unmanaged, you need to learn server admin or change to a managed server.
