To me it is not noticed because I rarely use Windows on the Internet. The next time I'll make it but times.

Without pointing with the acces.log I had not found the error. Such an not a very nice person (Sorry, but there it is) has a thread with full 50000 Cyrillic characters plastered in a response that actually occupied 250,000 mark. This not re-open the "News" section under Windows. With Linux it was funny enough. Well, the thing has an end after a long time (hopefully). Google just ran to this category dead and I was ordered. if (idea == 'none') {use (manuals) && (Google | | search)}if ($ answer == 0) {post (question)} IP Logged

HOWEVER, a check of your access logs might shed light on which bot(s) is triggering this. Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

(What happens isn't always the backup loop itself but bots and members trying to get in while the forum is in backup mode. That can boost CPU usage through the roof as each 'ping' creates a running instance of YaBB.pl.) JonB and I have discussed this at length. The failure on 'board=News' - you may need to actually look at (in Notepad++) the News.txt file in ./Boards and the messages that belong in that board. I'm guessing there's something in there - some characters (possibly hidden), or hidden code, or something else that is creating problems. Since the problem appears to be specific to this one board, the problem must BE in this one board. (In fact, since you report that this problem has been happening for a long time, it may be in an very old message.) Edited: And the timout warning on search? - Another long known problem with large forums - YaBB just doesn't have a very efficient search engine. Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

The forum "News" can not seem to open Windows. This is followed by Google and other search engines runs that use a Windows system, dead. I can watch the CPU usage increases.

The error message is always the same. Quote:/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=News I give this command in the address bar (of course, previously the domain prefix), the CPU runs dead. It was not until a restart of Apache you can stop that. However, there is yet another part of what a [warn] triggers, but I could still find no CPU overload.

You also need root access to edit the mod_security configurations. It is possible to disable single mod_security rule on directory-level. GTalk Skype/VoIP Facebook Twitter YouTube ICQ IP Logged
