solved Running processes problem... Progress.php

Hostgator shut down our site today saying that our site was too heavy on the CPU. They said this was the process that was running...

/progress.php?tmp=83705bdca01d72295260be5c517d105a&tu=3&mw=

The error log doesn't show anything from before the shutdown. The site now waits with "403 forbidden." Have you guys experienced this before?

That progress.php script runs when the server is "doing something". So its not the script that is too heavy, its the 'something' that it was doing.

Just out of interest was it on an "Unlimited" hosting account? (seams to be quite often hosting companies advertise "Unlimited" when it really is limited.)

The progress.php script is used in JR4 when uploading media - if no one is uploading media, kill the process - it may have got stuck and is just spinning.

Hope this helps!

Even our fuckwit prime minister is using this marketing lie now! So I guess it is proven to work.

I gurantee that it won't work for you though @yubeestar

Thanks for the replies you guys. I noticed this in the activity log:

[n8AjaxPoll.php] dbQuery() db error 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '))) AND ((('bwpd' LIKE 'bwpd'' at line 3 : SELECT * FROM jamroom_n8AjaxPoll WHERE poll_id = '15'))) AND ((('bwpd' LIKE 'bwpd'

I accidentally left access to 'create poll" for visitors when I put up the new menu. After fixing the menu, however, the same visitor IP continued to cause this error. Keep in mind, they've been a visitor for over a year and we have a Force to Join/Login popup on the homepage. We'll see if it comes back after banning the IP, but I'm still curious about this.

Told the host that I changed the cache settings, and after tests, they now allow access again. Site's Live. Shared hosting.
