MYSQL query overload.... uh... what??? · **Released**: 10-26-2007

My host tells me this: This is the first time my forum has done this in my whole 2 years of vbulletin.. and I am not sure what to do.. any clue?

We have conducted a detailed investigation of the reason for the high resource consumption and it turned out that a script executes slow queries towards its database, which eventually hogs the server. The server tries to execute your slow queries while making other processes stay in the queue until some memory is freed. While they are waiting however, they stack up and further deteriorate the problem.

The reasons for such slow queries can be several:

1. Large database
2. Not well written scripts
3. Large number of internal links that query the database directly.

In order to have the limitations removed, please optimize your script and/or database. If this problem with your website is not resolved in 7 days we may need to SUSPEND YOUR ACCOUNT.

All queries sent to your database that exceed 1 second are considered as slow. Such mysql queries increase the CPU and Memory overheat on server thus endanger its overall performance and the other customers web sites on the same machine.

I'm not a database person at all and so I am unsure what to do.. my forum has 600 members, and growing but I dont know why this is happening.

Any clue.? Is there any specific thing I can do, or any one I can find to help me fix this?

What hacks do you have installed? vBulletin straight out of the box should not cause any problems.

Ask your host which queries are slow queries according to them.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
