B-Core crashes – B-Core Hangs, B-Core Opens Slow, Security Log

[Tom]

After upgrading BPS Pro to v. 5.5 I am unable to open the B-core options page (P-Security and other parts of BPS Pro load OK). In Chrome B-core loads forever and Firefox becomes unresponsive and even crashes. I am on WP 3.5, already reinstalled BPS Pro 5.5 manually but it made no change. I never had this problem before. Please help.

A new Security Log page was added to B-Core.  The Security Log page automatically tries to open and display your security log file when you open the B-Core options page.  Your security log file is most likely extremely large.  FTP to your website and download your Security Log file to your computer from this website folder – /wp-content/bps-backup/logs/http_error_log.txt.  After you have downloaded your Security Log file delete it from your website.

BPS Pro 5.5 now has automated features/options that will automatically zip and email your Security Log file to you when it reaches the maximum log file size that you choose in S-Monitor.  The recommend/pre-selected maximum log file size is 500KB.

This worked 🙂 Thank you very much!
The new features look awesome!

[AITpro Admin]

Yep the new Logging features will completely automate the whole log file management process.  The primary purpose for having the Security Log in a quick accessible location is that it makes checking for issues/problems with the Plugin Firewall, the Uploads Anti-Exploit Guard and of course Plugins issues/conflicts quick and simple – the exact issue/problem error will be displayed in the Security Log making the solution a no-brainer/Zero guesswork.

The Security Log can of course also be used to monitor hacker activity/blocked hacking attempts/hacker bots sniffing around/junk bots sniffing around/recon/probes/scans/etc. on your website, but you should not spend too much time focusing on your Security Log file entries.  The AITpro sites log on average 1,500 hacking attempts per day so if I were to actually look at these hacking attempts on a daily basis I would never get any work done.  For the average website a more normal number of log entries is going to be around 50-100 per week.

Hi there, 
I had the same problem, couldnt open the BPS PRO page in WP and this did the trick. Turns out my error log was 19MB! 
Do I have to delete it on a regular basis?

[AITpro Admin]

No, you would not need to delete any log files on a regular basis.  This is now completely automated in BPS Pro.  Please read the S-Monitor Email Alerting & Log File Options Blue Read Me help button on the S-Monitor page.  Folks who have upgraded to a newer version of BPS Pro with S-Monitor Email Alerting & Log File Options will most likely have a very large Security Log file and need to perform a one-time deletion of the Security Log file.  BPS Pro now completely automates Log file management and maintenance.
