[Koha] Problem with Apache, Wordpress & Koha

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

Just a quick thought - have you checked what kind of traffic you have to the server? If some overly enthusiastic webcrawler decided to try and index your Koha opac that might block you and require you to filter out that traffic in the firewall. So yes it could be malware of course but not necessarily something that lives on your server but rather something that in practice becomes an denial of service attack.

I'll let others think about more Koha-based theories.

(You could of course increase the cap for the number of simultaneous users, but I have a distinct feeling that will accomplish exactly nothing)

Kind regards/Viktor

Apparently, our installation has decided to go wonky.  I'm thinking malware, but we can't seem to ferret out the difficulty.  Yes, we're on a slightly older version.

Apache starts up.  Koha & Wordpress start up.  The number of users immediately jumps to 150 in the Koha database, blocking the real people from using the software.

Any clues?  Anyone else experienced this difficulty?
