Ah… got you. I understand the behaviour a lot more now. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Something has changed on the site. The websever is restarted every day at 04:10 with all the old logs being archived. Since the last restart the interval of the ‘activejobs’ log has increased and then stopped. The truncated logs look like this

[05/Jan/2023:04:31:41 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs
[05/Jan/2023:05:32:26 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs
[05/Jan/2023:06:33:12 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
[05/Jan/2023:06:41:28 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
[05/Jan/2023:06:43:04 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
[05/Jan/2023:07:52:03 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_
05/Jan/2023:07:52:07 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=updraft_ajax&subaction=activejobs_

I will watch the behaviour over the next week.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any way to stop them? Every 9 seconds seems a big excessive especially when the backups are done just once a day?

I’m asking because my site is getting a lot of hack attempts and working through the log files to find the nasty guys takes a lot of time with all these entries.

Hmmm…
The server running this site is not on a hosted ISP server but on an eeeBox EB1502 running Fedora that sits on the shelk in my office.

As a professional Software Developer I download a lot of software and Operating Systems and the last time I had a corrupted download that wasn’t the result of a file corrupted on the mirror was years ago. I send updates of my software to my customers this way as well. After doing this for the past 12 years, I have yet to receive a complaint. Anyway, I digress from the real issue.

Lo and behold, the problem is back one again this morning(UK time) after the scheduled system backup & reboot. So I’ve reverted back to V3.0 RC1. Yep, the Can’t find class message is there again. This is something that has not been addressed.

Maybe I’ll try a clean install of V3.0 on a new Server VM that I’m building next week. That might get to the bottom of the problem from my point of view. My guess is that it is some form of gotcha in the upgrade process.

Well, I looked at the memory issue. php.ini was set to 64Mb so that was ruled out.

I disabled the plugins and tried the V3 upgrade again. I still got the blank pages.
Then I downloaded the kit again. This time everything was ok even with the plugins enabled.
The question I have is why was I getting problems when the Md5sum of the wp-admin & wp-includes directories (in .tar form) were identical.

Yep.
I tried the plugin tips. I’ve only got two plugins and both of them have released V3.0 versions so it was easy.

Are you saying that the DL of WP could be corrupt? The .zip file extracts everything ok. If there were a problem with the file integrity then it would show at the unzip time.

I’ll take a look at the other tips tonight. There is plenty of RAM available but I can’t see why these would fix the problems finding a class or if PHP so fragile in this areas (I’m a C/C++/SQL Developer so I don’t know PHP at all)

Thanks for that info. Other WP Blogs I’ve posted to don’t need this.
Also,
One of my experimental installs of WP didn’t suffer from this problem.
