Subject: Server overload cpu @ 100%
I decided to go finally replace our church old website with the new WEC. All I did was have the hosting provider move all files in /www/wec/ to /www/. Before hand ofcourse all of the old web site files were removed. The website urls were not being resolved correctly so I found the .htaccess file was not present so I uploaded a new one from the WEC install package. The url issue was resolved but a few hours later the hosting provider contacted me and stated the .htaccess file was removed due to a loop condition causing a major load on the server of 100% on the cpu. All of this was working fine before the file and folder move.

The only change I made to typo3 was the site url. I removed the /wec/ from the url string. Should other changes be made due to the move.

The church site is completely down now so any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack

Jack,
If you're on a very recent version of the Starter Package, there's may be a file at typo3conf/realurl_autoconf.php with cached RealURL settings. I would suggest deleting this file, which will cause all the settings to be generated freshly again.

Once you delete the file, the best test is to access a non-existent URL on your site (ie. mysite.com/abcd) and make sure the 404 page loads. I'd let your host know you're doing this, because if it doesn't work it will do the exact same looping again.

(We just got bit by this same thing last night, so its fresh on our mind here)

Thanks,
Jeff

The file typo3conf/realurl_autoconf.php does not exist. I am running the following version "wec_starter-4_1_2-1_0_0".

Thanks for the quick response!

Jack,
If you don't mind giving me a temporary backend login, I'll be happy to jump in and see if anything is out of the ordinary. Just shoot me an email with the login info.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thank you Jeff for resolving my issue. Below is the solution quoted by Jeff.

It looks like the TYPO3 page for handling "Page Not Found" errors got deleted. When TYPO3 can't find a URL, it tries to load this "Page Not Found" page. When that page can't be found, it tries to load the "Page Not found" page, which we already know is missing. This cycle repeats and you can see how we quickly overload the CPU.


I checked the wastebasket and found the Page Not Found there, so I went ahead and restored it
