I'm going to quit using WordPress on a shared VM, it's been 6 years since I installed WP and nothing is getting any better. Thanks for finding out the cached version. It should be available after a few retries for those want to comment on the page.

Install WP Super Cache. It should be able to handle HN's traffic even if it's running on an iPhone 3.

It is already installed and apparently not sufficient. There are 400+ people on my blog (excluding google cache or the ones viewing HTTP 500 error page, of course) and yet we see downtime.

This is blogspam. Blogspam of a repost. From last week.

I don't think that's fair. Even if it is a repost, I think a lot of people here are responding well to it. I'd hardly call this spam.

> A blog where the author paraphrases or copies from the original article/webpage in an attempt to increase his or her own traffic. This becomes a waste of the reader's time forcing them to click through the blog to get to the actual article. Often submitted to sites like Digg or Reddit.

alpb, check your plugins. With WP SuperCache running you should be able to easily handle thousands of concurrent visitors, even on a virtual server or shared hosting accounting.

Unfortunately, some of the plugins that ship with WP by default (i.e., some of the comments plugins) do not work well with caching; you have to swap them out for third-party equivalents that are designed with caching in mind.

Your blog post is interesting. How does tweeting about your post help the open source developer? This is in the cached version, and I see that you've since removed it.

I'm also genuinely curious about your association with svbtle. Looking at your LinkedIn cv, you look like a cool dude with a solid career in front of you. SDET at Microsoft will be fun and challenging for you. Congrats on the side project startup. It's all goodness.

However, I don't see the connection between you and svbtle. What's your secret? Also, I didn't know that svbtle let others self-host. This is interesting and may be part of the game plan that pg knows about. I may be looking for a narrative where one doesn't exist, and if so, tell me :)

Edit: Thanks for pointing out the wp theme :) (I've been using jekyll+s3 for so long I'm disconnected from wp).

To @alpb or whoever's site this is... FYI, your db secrets were leaked (spit out when I viewed the page):

  /** MySQL database username */
  define('DB_USER', 'ahmetalpbalkan');

  /** MySQL database password */
  define('DB_PASSWORD', '[removed]');

  /** MySQL hostname */
  define('DB_HOST', 'db.ahmetalpbalkan.com');

All I am seeing at the moment is PHP code in plain sight. Anyone else seeing that? Because it's not just any PHP code, it's the contents of the wp-config file with DB details, secret keys and whatnot being shown.

Echoing out all the DB info for me, then this;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home/ahmetalpbalkan/ahmetalpbalkan.com/blog/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

Ahmet, please change your password - the server just spat out the soruce code, including your database config and credentials (username/pass).

Probably don't want to be outputting your database credentials in the error page I'm now receiving with this link:

/ MySQL database username / define('DB_USER', 'ahmetalpbalkan'); /* MySQL database password */

edit: also, why in gods name is 3306 open to the world on that server?

Came here to say this. Your database is (and probably will be) easily tampered with at this point.
