# Crashes Apache when loading the log.

 * This crashed Apache on my server when I load the log page. I cleared the database
   tables for this and seemed to fix it. I think you need some pagination as the
   logs are so long, it crashes Apache. I have a Linode (VPS) running my site too.
   Also, multisite support would be a nice feature ^_^ . Basically, remove all the
   control panel stuff into the multisite dashboard and out of the site admin area
   so, only network admins can modify IPs and such.

 * I’m getting this issue as well- the log does not even load but the memory usage
   goes up and up.

 * Hopefully this gets fixed soon. Very hard to read the log file in phpMyAdmin.

 * Made a ticket for anyone that is having this issue. No longer updating this thread.

 * I also came across this, the problem, at least for me, was the hostname lookup.
 * I solved it by editing Bad Behavior’s bad-behavior-wordpress-admin.php, the offending
   line being:
 * `$host = @gethostbyaddr($result["ip"]);`
 * You can safely comment it out.
    It looks like gethostbyaddr has a very long timeout
   before giving up.
