Re: Home page memory requirements dramatically increased over weekend

Hi Perry, sounds like a frustrating problem. Turn on developer debugging and performance info to see more detailed information about what the page is doing. There is likely to be a memory leak in a plugin on the site. If you have 3rd party plugins installed, try disabling them one by one to see if the issue disappears.

512mb as a php memory limit is large but not excessive. Moodle should usually work fine with 128 mb though.

512mb isn't quite a lot for Moodle per se but is unexpected for 'normal' pages. How did you establish that the home page was the problem and what on earth have you got on there?

As has been mentioned, switch on Debugging and check your logs carefully.

In addition to what others have requested, find out what happened over the weekend. Any system upgrades, patches, Moodle upgrade, changes in configuration, ...? Do you utilize network file systems? Session locks? Did you try purging the cache? (I know, that is not a solution, but helps to localize.) Rebooted the machine? (Again, a typical Windows remedy, sorry ;)

not a clue how to help. newbie still to all this.

i would say maybe getting attacked?  if all your other pages = required to be logged in to access the other pages.

check to see type of users are enrolled at default front page / home page / site page. 

there are a lot of plugins that are not just "course plugins"  language plugins for example. might be hitting front page.  along with various types of filters. 

search the old files www.yoursite.com/moodle see if any file changes happen. due same for rest of your AMP or like install. and see if file changes have occurred in the last few days. 

and my number 1 favorite of all times. "ads" advertisments. *ughs* from flash to javascript to other.... can kill a site quick.   

hhmmsss javascript... clear / purge all your caches in moodle.

I came across this issue too.

In my case I narrowed it down to the "Enrolled courses" section. Turning that off allowed the page to load normally. Also, in our case the list of course contacts includes students, not just lecturers. I rather suspect that might be contributing to our issue.

We'll probably leave the enrolled courses switched off and put a link to the /my page.
