I have fairly popular website known as MyUsedCarLocator. Listing cars trucks and motorcycles from across the united states for sale.. Well I was looking at my stats and noticed a sudden drop in traffic to it Well I went to the administration of the site and everything loaded just fine… Yeah the admin loaded but you think I could in any way pull up even the smallest post not even from the cache…Nope not in anyway shape and or form…
That is when I goto thinking wel I do have over eighty thousand listings on the site (posts) maybe I should remove some of them. I deleted some but noticed that would take for ever and a day 15 at a time… YIKEs is all I have to say about that…
Anyway while I was snooping around in my files and such for a way to edit the number of posts I noticed an Enormous error log file (79MB)
I haven’t seen one that huge since I crashed out four servers in one shot afew years ago with a script I wrote that took a data file and created html files (20K-50K ) across several domains nd servers… but I digress
the error log was filled with errors from a plug-in tweet this function calls not respnding .. specicially the URL shorting servcie I choose wasn’t responding… Had to make a desicion and well Tweet this is no longer on the site anymore I can not afford mywebsite to be dependant upon an exteranl service. when my bread and butter comes from my websites being able to load
i am always looking for cheap car sales show in our area and i always find a bargain**.
