Unlike last time when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2006\/12\/site-down-36-hours-how-i-fixed-internal-server-errors\/\">site was down 36 hours<\/a>, this time I knew what the problem was and as soon as I disabled Wp-cache, the site was instantly back online&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/site-down-wp-cache.jpg\" alt=\"QOT server errors\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See in the image above how the site downtime occured. I had recently upgraded to the new wordpress 2.3 and decided to give wp-cache another try forgetting the site downtimes issues it had caused the previous time. The site worked fine for the last 2 days, and I thought that wp-cache and wordpress 2.3 finally worked well together. After all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2006\/11\/wp-cache-fixes-my-server-crash-issues-and-digg-traffic-spikes\/\">Wp-cache is a very fast cache module<\/a> (is highly recommended for shared web hosting users), and can easily help your shared server survive a slashdotting or Digg effect better.<\/p>\n<p>The problem was same as before. The <strong>cached and expired pages were of the same number<\/strong> and that somehow interfered with the functioning of the plugin, preventing further caching and deletion of expired pages also.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp-cache-contents.gif\" alt=\"cache contents\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I simply disabled the plugin, emptied the cache and expired pages and deactivated the wp-cache plugin and the site was instantly back online. I hope the plugin author fixes the issue.
