Wordpress crashes server

Today try to install latest Wordpress script. By trying to login into the admin site, the whole crashes. The network connection goes down for about 5 min and then comes back itself.

OS: Debian Linux 6.0 Webmin Version 1.580
Virtualmin Version 3.91 Pro WordPress Version to install 3.3.1

on a other website WordPress 3.3.1 runs fine, but same problem, when try to login, server crashes, we guess since the latest virtualmin update, wordpress crashes the whole server. Any help greatly appreciated

Howdy,

Well, a web app should never be able to bring your server down. If so, that may mean you're running into some sort of available resource problem.

Are you by chance using a VPS? If so, what kind of VPS are you using?

Also, what is the output of this command:

free -m

Howdy, we are running a root server with:

> free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7998 1726 6272 0 92 712
-/+ buffers/cache: 921 7076

Howdy,

That all looks pretty normal... what about if you run the command "dmesg", do you see any errors towards the end of that output?

I actually have the wrong NIC driver loaded: we have a r8168 chip but Debian loads the r8169 module,

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)

> lsmod | grep r8168

> lsmod | grep r8169
r8169 36872 0
mii 3210 1 r8169

> ethtool -i eth0
driver: r8169
version: 2.3LK-NAPI
firmware-version: N/A
bus-info: 0000:06:00.0

we installed the r8168 driver, unfortunately the problem remains, have to change the NIC
best regards

actually it was not the NIC it was a WordPress memory problem and my security settings, which dropped my IP into the hosts.deny file
