Thread:Project:Support desk/Mediawiki Hanging with no errors.

MediaWiki 	1.22.6 PHP 	       5.4.0 (cgi-fcgi) MariaDB 	5.5.33a-MariaDB Windows 2008 R2 on IIS

I'm having a huge problem with my site,and I'm feeling completely lost. Any help is hugely appreciated.

So Google is rapidly crawling my site for the first time, and now it's hanging. It's hung in the past, but never at this rate. IisReset fixes it temporarily for about 30 min to 2 hours. Sometimes if I'm not around to reset it, whatever bad process there is will time out, and the site will resume. I see in task manager that there are multiple php-cgi processes, and they aren't doing anything when it happens. MySQL shows a process of sleep, that grows to grow in time, and as more hits come, more sleeps begin to queue up. I thought this might be an issue with $wgJobRunRate, and $wgPhpCli, but I feel like I've tried everything without any luck. The only thing I've managed to do is fill up my job queue with 1000s of refreshLinks jobs. Setting $wgJobRunRate to 0 or 0.01 slows the growth, but 1 causes it to grow by the thousands. For $wgPhpCli I've tried leaving it out, "", false,"C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4", "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4\php.exe", all without luck.

Of course job queue may not be the issue. I am getting 500 errors in IIS logs, but could be the iisreset on loading pages. Php doesn't show any errors. I'm kind of freaking out here, so any new ideas will help!
