Hi. I have been useing the YaBB forum. But lately I have being haveing
trobles: the RAQ 3 "hungs up". Watching around I finally discovered that tha
forum, and his main file yabb.pl, is a CGI script wich handles the forum, is
consumeing all the RAQ 3 resources (almost 95% of CPU and RAM). This seems
to be caused intencionally, but I wonder, Is there any way to configure the
server to avoid this yabb.pl to use more than X resources, lets say restrict
this CGI to certaing amount of ram for example?
Any ideas?
