A friend built a ranking system on his site and I am trying to host in on mine via wordpress and godaddy. It updates for him but when I load it to my site, it works for 6 hours, but as soon as the reload is supposed to occur, it errors and I get a 500 timeout error.

His page is at: jeremynoeljohnson .com/yakezieclub

My page is currently at http://sweatingthebigstuff.com/yakezieclub but when you ?reload=1 it will give the error.

Any idea why this might be happening? Any settings that I might need to change?

Here is the top of the index.php file. I'm not sure which part of any of it is messing up. I literally uploaded the same code as him.

Here's the reload part:

$cachefile = "rankings.html"; $daycachefile = "rankings_history.xml"; $cachetime = (60 * 60) * 6; // every 6 hours, the cache refreshes $daycachetime = (60 * 60) * 24; // every 24 hours, the history will be written to - or whenever the page is requested after 24 hours has passed $writenewdata = false;

if (!empty($_GET['reload'])) { if ($_GET['reload']== 1) { $cachetime = 1; } }

if (!empty($_GET['reloadhistory'])) { if ($_GET['reloadhistory'] == 1) { $daycachetime = 1; $cachetime = 1; } }

if (file_exists($daycachefile) && (time() - $daycachetime < filemtime($daycachefile))) { // Do nothing } else { $writenewdata = true; $cachetime = 1; }

// Serve from the cache if it is younger than $cachetime if (file_exists($cachefile) && (time() - $cachetime < filemtime($cachefile))) { include($cachefile); echo ""; exit; } ob_start(); // start the output buffer

?>
