Hi,
I have a problem similar to this one. The situation is as follows:
– brand new WordPress install with wordpress 2.9.1
– installed/activated a few plugins ( 2, 3 – no more )
– added a few posts, less than 20
– in meantime wordpress got updated and I updated the install to 2.9.2
– IMPORTANT: the site is on a new domain, therefore there was absolutely no traffic, but myself accessing the site
– the conclusion is that somehow wordpress used all the server CPU and the account had to be suspended
also note, that the server logs stated the strange activity with the /wp-content/themes/index.php file, file which is EMPTY! – there was some strange recursion taking place, the script was recalling itself and this alone generated over 2 Gb of traffic for the hosting account in a couple of days!
Is there any way to figure it out what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Constantin TOVISI
