Hi there.  I’m hoping someone can help resolve this.

I created a new site in EE and then exported my entries from a weblog in the old site and imported them into the new weblog, which seemed to work smoothly.  However, when you go to click on the links for the entries on the new site, it completely crashes our server.  It has crashed our server twice from clicking on any link that should pull one of the entries up.  It caused the server to fail by using up all the available memory, and only restarting the mysql DB brought it back online.

Has anyone ever experienced this before?  Any recommendations about what could have caused this or what to check for?  EE has very little information online when it comes to export / import of entries.

Thanks!

What version and build of EE are you using? How many entries are there, how large are they?

Version 1.6.8, and about 60 entries.  Not too large, mostly just body text.

interactiveB2B,

This sounds like a server configuration issue; scripts shouldn’t be able to crash MySQL. What specific error does the server output?

we’re actually not certain that mysql was the problem - what we see is that all memory is used up on the server (either by apache or mysql). We just encountered this issue again after successfully redoing the export/import, and we’re not sure why.

Have you seen: EEWiki:// HowTo Determine Memory Limits
