    Hello
    although i m using VPS server, but due to high traffic my site onlineindiaeducation.com showing internal server error.
    Yes, there is another theme, but i m sure that it will also happen in case of Atahualpa theme.

    Is it possible that 100000 (1 lakh) user online at a time can be handle by wordpress website ?

    Generally wp site shows internal server error and fetching errors due to high traffic at a time.

    Looking for permanent solution ??

    Thanking You !

    Usually means low system resources. Most of the time related to low RAM. Try to increase php memory limit in php.ini. It may also be necessary to increase number of MySQL connections.

    If the website shows Internal Server Error, most probably the issue is with permissions, ownerships OR .htaccess file. You will need to check at error log files on the server.

    You can increase mysql connections in /etc/my.cnf file. Open the file and find for max_connections & increase it. Something as below.

    max_connections=300

    Replace 300 with the connection limit you wish to set. Restart mysql on the server.
