Site and server crashes (100% memory usage)

[Naranja]

Hi!
i'm using my own server, a PIII 800, 256 mb RAM. Yesterday i've changed my site to urlmethod = 2 and added the patchlog's xml sitemap (i'm using 9.8.2 following this instructions

In SECONDS my server crashes, 100% memory usage.
When i start xampp crashes.

This is before i start xampp:

Cpu(s):  0.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni,100.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:    256056k total,    53072k used,   202984k free,     8880k buffers
Swap:   746980k total,        0k used,   746980k free,    27340k cached

this is 5 seconds after:

Cpu(s): 10.6%us, 12.6%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id, 75.5%wa,  1.3%hi,  0.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:    256056k total,   253020k used,     3036k free,       60k buffers
Swap:   746980k total,   746980k used,        0k free,     9876k cached

i've tried uninstalling and deleting mod from pligg, put it back into urlmethod 1, deleting .htaccess, but it still happens. :S

How could i fix it?

[Naranja]

fixed with a backup... but i have a new problem

Off topic, but I wanted to say great site..it appears (from alexa) that you've done some great marketing or something along those lines.

[Naranja]

thank you very much! i've worked a lot on that site. I'm so afraid to lose all my work !

Ontopic: i still have the memory problem. Could it be the htaccess? (i have 250+ categories, and with urlmethod2 is a lot of code to add)
i'll try urlmethod=1 back

[Naranja]

i've deleted htaccess and put the urlmethod back into 1. Memory is OK now. Could it be the problem the htaccess?

this is my htaccess (attach with name plw.htaccess, i know the name is bad, in my server is .htaccess)
thanks!

[Naranja]

i think it's an .htaccess problem, when i delete it memory goes ok. Any clue? thank you pligg community! (Y)

Are you using gzip compression for the pages enabled in htaccess?

Can you rename your .htaccess as htaccess.txt and attach.

yes and yes hehe

today after work i''ll test about it (i can't even ssh to stop service or even restart server when its full). Thank you for the suggestion dollars5, sorry for my poor knowledgement about this, i'm trying to learn as fast as possible.

So your gzip compression is the one which is raping your server and not Pligg

Was that this code

AddType "text/javascript" .gz
AddEncoding gzip .gz
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-encoding} gzip
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.*).js
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.gz -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.js $1.js.gz [L]

or did you use something different?

exactly that! i'' fix it back to home. I need to learn so much... thank you very much, today i''l tell you my results.

My newbie question (after testing it). If you truncate content from pligg_links, posts are deleted? (my pligg pass from 10 to 3 MB and i can see every post on each category)

off topic: you really rocks dollars5. Yesterday i was so upset with pligg that i even think on moving to another cms, but you have change my mind.
