inlinemod.php causing high server loads

[Panzer Max]

hi Lynne, good to see you again!

I checked again, for anything that has "inlinemod_" in it, nothing.

I checked for "inline", nothing.... :erm:

[Lynne]

Hmmmm, well it very likely could be some global hook called by a product that would affect the inlinemod.php file I suppose. Have you tried disabling ALL your products for a day and seeing if this still happens?

[Panzer Max]

Ok, I disabled all but Downloads II, Multiple Login Detector, and 2 custom mods. 4 days, no problem. If the problem recurs, I could disable the others, but that would be problematic for our site. I guess if it turns out to be a specific mod, I will have to live with it and check the load daily, and check the backups.

Does anyone recognize that file? Is it part of standard vB or a mod? If it is a mod, how do you suggest I identify which mod it is associated with?


Appreciate any feedback you can give.

It is hard to make your hosting highload with inlinemod, you should check log files on your hosting to find out the reason why.

Well, I asked our server guy to check the logs, I'm just the forum gal.

The server log shows

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

What are your server specifications? Maybe it's time to look for a new host?

Ok well that seems to be fine... weird.

[Panzer Max]

Yeah, it really is. I am watching this every day now, so far, it's been ok.
