I started having trouble a week ago with a Wordpress site suddenly out of space. (My install/files are under 10GB on a 25GB droplet.) I tracked the issue to giant syslog files (3+GB). I deleted those, and the site restarted. Every day, the files fill again and shut down the site. By clearing them out, I’ve been able to get things running, but today, the site won’t come up again at all.
Using tail -n 20 example.log, I can see a repeated error happening that is being logged, but I don’t know what to do or how to begin troubleshooting to clear this up and get my site back.
