This sometimes happens on Windows servers and Wordfence is not designed to run on a Windows web server.

The author has seen this, but I have no idea why you think adding your username to the ‘ignore list’ (which tells Wordfence to not log live traffic from your visits) would disclose your username to the public. I think that’s that you’re trying to say, and I don’t think this is a security hole. Correlation != causation.

Hi,
I doubt you had as little as 5MB of memory because I don’t think it’s possible to run even the most basic PHP site with that amount of memory. Please check how much memory your host has allocated.
If you’re able to install Wordfence, you can enable the plugin, then go to the bottom of the Wordfence options page and click the option to view your system configuration. Search for “memory_limit” without quotes and that will show you your memory limit – at least as far as PHP goes. You may have a lower limit somewhere else like apache config.
This really is your hosts fault – they need to give you more information about why the server is running out of memory, what the real limit is and offer you upgrade options.

Hi,
I have not heard of this before, but DB corruption sounds like a good guess. Check that your web server is OK on disk space.

Thanks Steve, we’re logging this as a high priority issue to get fixed.

Is there a specific error they’re seeing?

Disable it in the plugins area of your WordPress site.

Hi,
Wordfence does not currently support IPv6 and it looks like you have it enabled on your server.

File repair and view-changes is now working. We’re busy running an update which will fix the Akismet issue and that should be finished within a few hours – roughly 5pm EST.
So as of now we are fully operational, albeit with a minor issue with Akismet scanning.
Regards,
Mark.
Update on the maintenance: Scanning and all other functions are now operational, but file repair and view-changes won’t be available until noon EST tomorrow. We are still completing the work and have had to keep these functions disabled as we do this.
Unless you’re repairing a hacked system and need to actually repair a broken file or see what has changed in a file, you won’t notice any difference.

Mark.
The maintenance is taking longer than we anticipated. It should be complete around 11pm EST, give or take an hour.

Mark.
Hi Folks,
We’re working on getting this fixed now. Turns out that the WordPress repository has grown beyond 32,000 plugins and that has caused an issue on our ext3 filesystems and stalled plugin updates. We’re busy doing an upgrade which will fix this right now, which is why we have down-time scheduled for the next 3 hours. Shouldn’t take that long. We’ll have an update soon. Opening this back up as unresolved until we’re done.

Looks like your mysql database server has run out of connections and your entire site is suffering because of it. That is what the “mysql server has gone away” message means. Please work with your hosting provider or site admin to fix this. They probably need to increase the number of connections mysql is allowing which my require a server upgrade.
