# PHP_errorlog Overflow?

 * WordPress seemed to dump out about 20kb/s of error log (107mb in about 5 minutes)
   until it maxed out at 2gb and caused the server to go into a 500 internal error.
 * Errors were reading:
 * > [02-May-2014 16:56:02 UTC] WordPress database error DELETE command denied to
   > user ‘boost887_usr’@’localhost’ for table ‘wp_options’ for query DELETE FROM
   > wp_options WHERE option_name = ‘pib_old_version’ made by require(‘wp-blog-header.
   > php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘
   > wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, Pinterest_Pin_It_Button-
   > >upgrade_plugin, include_once(‘/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button/includes/upgrade-
   > plugin.php’), pib_do_all_upgrades, delete_option
 * or:
 * > [02-May-2014 16:56:07 UTC] WordPress database error DELETE command denied to
   > user ‘boost887_usr’@’localhost’ for table ‘wp_commentmeta’ for query DELETE
   > FROM wp_commentmeta WHERE meta_id IN( 9 ) made by do_action_ref_array, call_user_func_array,
   > akismet_delete_old_metadata, delete_comment_meta, delete_metadata
 * Deleting/renaming the error log just caused it to generate a new one but brought
   the site back online. Updating to the new WordPress caused the error to stop (
   Don’t know if reinstalling wordpress would have also been another solution). 
   Possibly the error was from WordPress not having permissions to delete the php_errorlog,
   but that wouldn’t have solved the problem permanently.
 * My point though is that I pushed the update to 3.9 and it stopped. I’m concerned
   over this being a result of a googlecrawler trying to access a page, a plugin,
   or just being a general error from 3.8.3 and it happening again.
 * Any thoughts?
