Hosting Errors

A Guide to Using MediaWiki in a Hosted Environment

An instructional website by the developer of mh370wiki.net - a MediaWiki site about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

Since starting this website I think I have experienced more errors and problems than in the previous few years! I intended to start with problems associated with the latest version upgrade, but other issues seem related to the website hosting, not just mediaWiki.

Here are a few recent issues. Solutions may be added.

MediaWiki Internal Error

Server Error HTTP 500

Cannot Access Database

CPU Resources Limit Reached

I received this message after running some maintenance scripts.

But the problem continued, with messages like 'You have reached the processes number limit 5005 times.' over a 24-hour period. CPU usage is shown below:-
