PhpAdsNew Troubleshooting
From DreamHost
As of January 4, 2006, the file adxmlrpc.php is vulnerable to exploit. Hackers using the script to execute code on the server could drive up server load. If you are not using this file, please remove it. If you need this file, please find the latest version of it on the PHPAdsNew website.
A comprehensive list of performance tuning articles can be found on the PhpAdsNew/MMM website.
If you still are not seeing a drop in CPU usage, Max Media Manager provides better performance than phpAdsNew. If you are unable to switch, it may be that you have a very popular website. While our shared hosting servers are very good at handling quite a bit of traffic from our customers, there does come a point sometimes where a site will outgrow shared hosting and need to move onto the next step - a shiny new Dedicated server!
