It is currently not possible to access the web site or trac. There are
a dozen httpd processes running and they seem to overflow memory (we
only have 1.5G in our virtual machine).
The httpd logs reveal many entries like:
107.22.9.178 - - [15/Jul/2015:00:26:30 +0200] "GET /trac/ticket/9495
HTTP/1.1" 200 14526
So someone is using an Amazon cloud thingy to grab all of our bug
reports. What shall I do? Try to block AWS?
Advice welcome. It might be that this will end when all tickets have
been read :)
I restarted httpd. That sometimes seems to help with this kind of thing.
Trac especially can cause problems when it is hit hard.
