Re: [Gnewsense-dev] Website is very unresponsive

Also - there was a guy who dropped by IRC the last couple of days,
he asked about the servers,
he mentioned that there was a misconfiguration and it was hammering other servers\services.
I said he had to check here in the email list, and also pointed him to samgee_ at irc.

I do not have the log unfortunately (I disconnected after I replied).

http://gnewsense.org/ is very very slow and unresponsive.
Is there something that can be done with that?

I plan to do an upgrade next weekend that will hopefully improve things.

Is the site running on a dedicated server or vps? (just curious).

VPS

Is there anything I or others can do to help with the issue?
(mirror things, or help in other ways?)

The wiki has a lot of spam accounts now. I'm not sure, but this might be
a factor in the slowness. A cleanup would be nice in any case, e.g.
deleting all accounts that have made no edits and were created more
than 1 year ago. Last time I checked there was no readily available
script to do this. Any volunteers to take this on?

Hmm, have you ever checked if the server is used to send out spam? Maybe
due to a bug in a web form? I had those kind of issues with MediaGoblin
which had/has an ugly bug, letting the form being used for spamming. I
was able to monitor this by taking a look at /var/log/mail.log
