Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
The SimpleAds cron instance has started to hang following my upgrade to Drupal 7.10 and then 7.12.
Usin cron debug it became obvious that it starts and never stops.
I can give you anymore info as it just hangs

How you found out that this is happening because of the SimpleAds module ?
Thanks.

tchopshop CreditAttribution: tchopshop commentedUsing the cron debug module you can run ONLY the simpleads cron to debug. I can confirm that it hangs for me also. This is after an upgrade to 7.24 (from 7.16 or around there).

cha0s CreditAttribution: cha0s commentedI am working with tchopshop and can confirm that the issue appears to be that this module is creating enormous (> 192 MB) temporary tables in some queries it is running, and this is rejected by our specific host as being too large.
This is probably a limit that many people will run into, and some queries being run will definitely need to be optimized. I don't have a patch toward this end, as yet.

smartsystems160 CreditAttribution: smartsystems160 commentedThis is a serious problem. My cron stopped running and i used cron debug to run the modules individually, SimpleAds gives me "Error 502" "Website is offline No cached version of this page is available." "The web server reported a bad gateway error." and an error is displayed "Cron presumably failed while running the cron hook simpleads_cron() in the module simpleads."
