# HTTP/PHP Processes Killing Server

 * I have recently moved my WP website from a subdomain to the top domain of my 
   vps. Everything was working just fine on the subdomain, but right after i have
   uploaded database and files to the public_html folder i have noticed multiple
   php processes “eating” 100% of the process.
    I started to investigate and tried
   few things, like dropping database and re-uploading it, erasing all plugins (
   from db as well), erasing all files, but nothing worked as on subdomain (i did
   changed all the paths in the db file accordingly). I had to google for the problem,
   after seeing some of these php processes were looking like this:
 * write(4, “\275\3SELECT t.*, tt.* FROM wpone”…, 193) = 193
    read(4, “\1\1\n=\2\
   3def\voneshopp_db\1t\rwpon”…, 16384) = 743 access(“/home/user/public_html/wp-
   content/themes/compare/footer.php”, F_OK) = 0 time(NULL) = 1354130656 lstat64(“/
   home/user/public_html/wp-content/themes/compare/footer.php”, {st_mode=S_IFREG
   |0644, st_size=1450, …}) = 0 lstat64(“/home/user/public_html/wp-content/themes/
   compare”, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0 lstat64(“/home/user/public_html/
   wp-content/themes”, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, …}) = 0
 * And found like a solution to replace wp-includes/http.php with a modified version.
   By doing that i actually reduced my vps load from 15 to 0.25, some of the php
   processes were still there but they were not consuming that much cpu.
 * Obviously, the http.php version i’ve uploaded was incorrect, i ended up with 
   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WP_Http in /home/user/public_html/wp-includes/
   class-http.php on line 34
 * I had to place back the original WP 3.4.2 http.php file.
    Does anyone have any
   clue about the cause of the problem i’ve encountered after i’ve moved the WP 
   site from subdomain to a main domain (basically from one folder to another) ?
 * Any suggestions, ideas on how can this be fixed is highly appreciated.
    Thank
   you. Laguna

 * Managed to find the problem that caused the server die several times, due to 
   high cpu usage.
    It was the wp installation absolute path (not the web address
   of wp) stored in database, that was including the subdomain on which previous
   installation was made.
