Title: [Plugin: Secure WordPress] Crashed Server Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Secure WordPress] Crashed Server * Resolved [noShitWFP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/noshitwfp/) * (@noshitwfp) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-crashed-server/) * Hi Guys, * WordPress Version is actually 2.9.2. * This is just FYI. * I installed your plugin on 2 servers yesterday. One server was fine, the other crashed the entire server…yep! Not just the host account…the entire server. I reckon if your gunna have a problem, make it memorable and this certainly did that 🙂 Naturally the Account was suspended… * I got permission to get back into the site and uninstalled the plugin…it seems ok now. * Of note: Both sites on which I installed the plugin are very similar. Same platform, same template, same plugins. Even the same host company…just different servers/ accounts therein. * I’ll include what information I can from the Error Logs in case it helps: * [Mon Mar 08 22:43:39 2010] [error] [client IP ADDRESS] ALERT – Include filename(‘../../../../ wp-load.php’) contains too many ‘../’ (attacker ‘IP ADDRESS’, file ‘/home/USER/ public_html/wp-content/plugins/secure-wordpress/js/page.php’, line 2), referer: DOMAIN_NAME/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=secure-wordpress.php * [Mon Mar 08 22:43:24 2010] [error] [client IP ADDRESS] ALERT – script tried to increase memory_limit to 268435456 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker‘ IP ADDRESS’, file ‘/home/USER/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php’, line 501), referer: DOMAIN_NAME/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin =secure-wordpress& * [Mon Mar 08 15:34:46 2010] [error] [client IP ADDRESS] ALERT – script tried to increase memory_limit to 268435456 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker‘ IP ADDRESS’, file ‘/home/USER/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php’, line 501), referer: DOMAIN_NAME/wp-admin/plugins.php * Hmmm! That’s was a bit naughty wasn’t it? 🙂 It seems that combination of the 2 errors created some kind of giant query loop that just kept going and going… and going 😛 * Anyway, I hope this helps. It seems like a plugin worth the effort to iron the bugs out of, and by all accounts such anomalies as this are rare. * Cheers * Stephen G * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/secure-wordpress/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/secure-wordpress/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [Frank Bueltge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bueltge/) * (@bueltge) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-crashed-server/#post-1418062) * Thanks for your reply – i will see for htis problem. The page.php is a small script to include javascript, maybe this is a problem; inlcude php and use header as JS. In one of the next versions i will change this for include js, only. * [pkab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pkab/) * (@pkab) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-crashed-server/#post-1418105) * I am installing WordPress 3.0 and have ALERT – script tried to increase memory_limit to 268435456 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker ‘202.58.180.34’, file ‘/home/sloki/user/mysusername/sites/mywebaddress.com/www/wp-admin/admin. php’, line 96) * how to overcome or surpress this warning? thanks in advance. * sur * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-crashed-server/#post-1418106) * That sounds like WordPress is being blocked by an overly aggressive server-side security script. Contact your hosting provider. If they can’t help, please start your own topic as your issue has absolutely nothing to do with this topic. * [PDD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solharris/) * (@solharris) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-crashed-server/#post-1418111) * This plugin spiked the server resources to over 150% resulting in my site being suspended by my host for abuse of server resources! * There are no other fingers to point as this was the only change I made to my site. * However, I have to say that the blog site is within and OSCommerce directory – so it might be because of my unique situation – and I must also say that I’ve used this plugin within several other sites with no problem. * Still be cautious and take a backup before you install (any plugin) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Secure WordPress] Crashed Server’ is closed to new replies. * 4 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [PDD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solharris/) * Last activity: [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-secure-wordpress-crashed-server/#post-1418111) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
