    We have wordpress instances installed on our server. It appears we are having a HUGE issue where wordpress overloads our server. The sites aren’t even busy sites but from my investigation I have noticed that index.php gets loaded hundreds upon hundreds of times repeadltily and the host that is laucnhing the PHP file is the local IP of the srever. Does anyone know what is causingh this issue?????

    Right now I am looking at my server that has over 744 processes and a load of 200 running all opening index.php from 1 wordpress site..

    a self referencing index file perhaps?

    The index.php file is the wordpress index file that is being loaded many times. The odd thing is when viewing the apache status I can see that the requestor IP is the server’s IP. How is wordpress loading up all those index.php sessions??

    that’s what I’m suggesting, is that the index file is trying to include the index file, which is trying to include the index file, which … well forever exactly like that.

    a couple things I would do to trouble shoot:

    change which wordpress page is your home page, from the settings section

    change which file is your index file by throwing this into your htaccess:
    DirectoryIndex second-index.htm..

    perhaps try out wp-super-cache see if that helps any…

    other then that me and my beer haven’t any more suggestions. good luck!

    Hello,

    I don’t think that is what is happening. The problem occurs once in a while, not all the time. Is there a reason why index.php would load hundreds of times at once?
