In reply to: Reduce Memory UsageMacManX, could you explain why a new install of 3.0.1 would be using 30MB per request?
Are there problems with 3.0.1?
The only plugins in the new install are TPC! Memory Usage and W3 Total Cache. No content, no traffic, no widgets. Twenty-Ten.

In reply to: Massive memory use on a NEW installMy error, the new install with the massive memory use is 3.0.1, the existing install is 3.0.

In reply to: Recommendations for hosting for WP / WPMUI’d be happy to have it recalculate every few hours. Daily wouldn’t give my readers what they need to know, what’s presently of the greatest interest. They’d only know what was popular yesterday.
However, I’m not a programmer and don’t know how to edit it to do that . . . not that I’ve rooted around in the Popular Posts files to see if I could figure out what triggers the query. So, I took it down for now.
All the Current CPU Usage tells me is that index.php is running it up. So it’s something on the loading of the front page. Unfortunately, that doesn’t narrow it down much. So far, removing the Popular Posts seems to have done it.
I guess it’s good to know that the command line won’t give me any more detailed information, though. Thanks 🙂

In reply to: Recommendations for hosting for WP / WPMUAndrea –
I have WHM, but I can see nothing to track CPU usage in real time. Neither can they; their best suggestion is that I download PuTTy and learn to use it, then can watch processes from the command line.
They told me that anything running statistics and the like could be the likely cause. I removed a plugin which calculated popular articles by pageviews; I assume it had to query the database every time the page loaded to determine what had the most pageviews. Seems to have improved. A shame; it was a nice feature to have. It probably needs to be rewritten so it queries every 30 or 60 minutes, or something like that.
Bonusball, the problem with turning each one off and testing is the inability to track CPU usage in real time. All I can do is turn off the suspected ones and wait to see if the site crashes when there’s enough traffic to trigger whatever is causing the spike in CPU usage.

In reply to: Recommendations for hosting for WP / WPMUNo, I don’t get comment notifies by email. Turned off.
Any suggestions on how I might find the faulty plugin? The latest they’ve told me is that the front page loading eats up 7+% of my CPU with each load.
If there’s a way I can watch to track it, I can test . . . but they seem unable to provide a way to do that.

In reply to: Recommendations for hosting for WP / WPMUAndrea, I have taken your advice and relocated to a server providing 512MB RAM, etc. I have gone with WiredTree, for whom I could find essentially only positive reviews on the Web.
I’m now getting “server busy” errors, and their staff tells me my simple WordPress site is bumping up against the maximum memory. First, they disabled “clamd”, a virus scanner for email (odd that it’d cause a problem, on a NEW account that HAS NO EMAIL).
Errors continued today. Oh, but when they check it, nothing is actually running high, except Apache and PHP.
Are they selling me a service where the BASIC OS on the server is too much for the memory allotted? I get the feeling I’m getting screwed here.

In reply to: [Plugin: Parteibuch Aggregator] Automatic polling is not workingIt’s known, has been known for a long time, and the plugin author seems unwilling to respond.
I’m presently seeking an alternative plugin that works and is supported, since this one clearly does not and is not.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] New version has no “delete cache”?There it is! Thanks . . . Wouldn’t have thought to do that.

In reply to: Recommendations for hosting for WP / WPMUThanks, Andrea! Do you know of a review site or other source to figure out which hosts are stable and have decent service? I don’t want to find myself with host downtime (like today, when even their main website wasn’t available for a time) and cpu throttling again.
I do understand that, as a moderator, it might not be OK for you to recommend particular companies.
RV, yes, I’m still on shared hosting. I guess I knew it was too good (cheap) to last . . . dangit.

In reply to: Can’t import WordPress WXR filesChanging the memory in wp-settings.php was all it needed to work for me as well, acrofilo!

In reply to: Am I a spammer???That’s not old. Carno would be old. (Which is honestly what I thought of when you said Carnac.)
I don’t believe an Akismet message would say comments were disabled; I’ve had commenters get dumped into the spam queue and they never say a peep about it. More likely, as Ipstenu suggests, the blog owner has done an IP ban on his server. It’s reversible.
