Comments on: 404s and WordPress Server Load http://alexking.org/blog/2008/07/31/404s-and-wordpress-server-load Alex King, Denver Web Developer Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:02:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Martina http://alexking.org/blog/2008/07/31/404s-and-wordpress-server-load#comment-146909 Martina Sun, 26 Dec 2010 15:11:56 +0000 http://alexking.org/blog/2008/07/31/404s-and-wordpress-server-load#comment-146909 Thanks for this post - it opened my eyes WHY my serverload goes to 160 (yes, 160) and the server crashes. Sadly a simple redirect won't work because I converted a huge website to wordpress and it is too complex. Does anyone know how to stop this wordpress behaviour when permalinks are activated? So that people are sent to 404 directly? I think this is something many people may have. Thanks for this post – it opened my eyes WHY my serverload

I copied everything, then with phpmyadmin exchanged all occurances of h**p://mydomain.com/wordpress with h**p://mydomain.com and the same for the absolute paths like exchange var/www/web6/web/wordpress with /var/www/web6/web and now ALMOST everything works, except that I have problems displaying some posts from certai ncategories AND when any page of this blog is accessed even if I put it into maintenance mode and jsut browse through the backend, the spu load spikes to 80% :-( I don't think a redirect would do any good as this happens even when I surf the backend. Any hints/clues, please? hello Alex,

Check out the new wp-content and config file path features in 2.6 that allow you to make it a clean checkout! It’s the new black.

Matt, this is great, but unfortunately many existing plugins don’t work properly with the new settings.

My theme editor no longer works, it just says ' File not found, please try again. Merci! ' and on te login page, there's a whacking great pink box that just says object in it. You're the only person I've seen do this, so I figured I'd ask :P Alex

That way no regex/mod_rewrite. SL: if WordPress can't find <code>wp-config.php</code>, then it looks up one directory. Set the path to <code>wp-content</code> via the <code>WP_CONTENT_DIR</code> constant, like so: <code>define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . '../wp-content' ); define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://yoursite.com/wp-content');</code> Alex: would a standard Apache “Redirect” be better for load? That way no regex/mod_rewrite.
