Web Server Slow Down

August 22, 2007 in Server Status by admin  |  Comments Off on Web Server Slow Down

Yesterday one of Smile’s web servers saw a considerable slow down, at times, the server was unable to answer occasionally. We started troubleshooting and found it was a problem with a WordPress blog site, that appeared to be getting attacked from a site in China. We disabled the site, and brought the server back to 100%, eventually finding that there was some comment spam that was causing the blog to try and contact itself every second or two. That comment spam has been deleted and everything appears to be back to normal.
