Error with cap.php

[Jay_M]

On our website, reviewgolf.com, we seem to have a problem with a file in our root directory called cap.php.

What happens is, a certain number of processes run on it, then it maxes out and when it maxes out, the whole site shuts down and gives a 550 error. The host then has to end the processes and that reopens the site. But we have to ask them to do it every 2-3 days.

In the copied data below, you will find the error log.

At the host's request, we added an extra "exit" command on cap.php and do not even know why the file is there. We did try deleting it while the site was running properly, and when we did, the site stopped and we had to put it back. So it's essential somehow.

Is there anything we can do?

cap.php is CAPTCHA

You can turn it off in admin options if you choose. I do not know why captcha would cause an issue it simply shows the captcha image to verify guest posts.
