My site has been down on and off for the last 10 hours. According to my host:
It appears that the image
http://www.yetzira.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/ben10.jpg is being
hit hard by a ton of connections.
This has caused all sites on this server to be down for a long time. I don’t know how to write scripts and don’t recall ever using a script that could call this image. How can I find this script in my wordpress site?
My goal is to find this script and erase it but I have no idea how to do this.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Not a script problem, your image has been probably hot-linked (used by another site).
You should take a look at your server logs to find what is this site (using referer information).
You can remove this file to avoid the server to be down again
You can try to prevent hotlinking, try http://www.htaccesstools.com/hotlink-protection/
