Sudden Increase in Memory Consumption with Multisite Install

    I have a multisite install that receives relatively low traffic. The PHP.ini setting had memory_max set to 32MB. One month into the site’s life I receive a 500 Server Error. The site will restore only if I increase the memory to 80MB.

    Has there been any conversation about a memory leak in WP or WP Multisite?

    Can you recommend any tools, articles, or approaches to finding the leak and fixing it.

    Thank you,
    Chris

    99% of the time it’s a plugin.

    Or spammers hitting your site really hard. Go look at your access logs, and welcome to the world of server management. 😉

    What kind of PHP? I had weird results with PHP-CGI, though that was more my crappy PHP install.

    I am using Apache with mod_php. Php Version 5.3.3

    I wrote a custom plugin for this site that listens for an AJAX request, queries the DB, and displays new content on the home page based on the user clicking on a Google Map. I am going to analyze and rewrite the query because it is the only unique feature of the site.

    If that plugin isn’t critical, I’d turn it off for a day or so, see what happens.
