PHP script looping according to GoDaddy (12 posts)

    According to GoDaddy (my blog host) I am using a large portion of the servers CPU power. They suspended my account until I can figre out the problem (which makes no sense). Hoopefully I can get it back up soon to look at what is wrong.

    They said that apparently I have a PHP script that is running over and over (looping). I just installed WordPress 2.1 a week ago, but hadn't made any posts since. The other day I posted a long post with a lot of pictures. It got about 400 hits in a few hours and then my site stopped becuase they suspended it.

    Where should start when I get access back?

    Deactivate all plugins and see if the problem persists. If not, reactivate one by one.
    You should check your plugins against the 2.1 compatibility list:

    I am only using Akismet and that is upgraded with 2.1, right?

    When you upgraded to 2.1, did you upload the wp-cron.php file in the root directory? Does that file exist on your site?

    There's a known bug in 2.1 which will cause a loop condition if you failed to upload the wp-cron.php file. This will be fixed in future revisions, but for now, just make sure that file is there and is readable.

    I will try that, unfortunately I can do nothing until GoDaddy decides to turn my account back on. Grr.

    FTP to your site and check what Otto42 said.

    There is no file. I assume thats the problem. Now what do I do to fix it? Where do I get that file from?

    Thanks.

    That file wp-crong.php is part of the 2.1 distribution. You might download the whole zip file again from http://wordpress.org/download/ then re-FTP the files to your site then let Godaddy know that you may have solved the problem.

    Do I need all the files or just the cron file?

    Well since you've found that at least one file did not successfully upload, you might want to reupload all the files (that's just in case). Of course if you've made changes to theme files you want to be careful...

    I would doublecheck all your files and make sure you get them all. Missing files cause weird errors.
