Title: More Site Trouble
Post by: wjp666 on April 26, 2007, 07:54:05 pm: over the last few days it's been extremely hard to get into this site. tuesday and wednesday were the worst... today's not so bad. it's been timing out all over the place.

surely i'm not the only one getting this?

Post by: wjp666 on April 26, 2007, 11:28:11 pm: well, i'm not 'timing out' any more, but each page is taking like 30 seconds to generate! grr!

but oddly enough it's only happening with AOL... explorer is fine.

Post by: chocadmin on April 27, 2007, 09:22:34 pm: strange. i guess its the database getting a bit overloaded.
Wonder why it never happened on the old server (perhaps cause there were fewer sites running on it)?
I'll
see how hard it is to upgrade the database that the forum is using,
it'll probably mean a bit of downtime next week when I sort it.

Post by: chocadmin on April 27, 2007, 11:29:18 pm: nothing worse than an intermittent problem in an IT system.
Unlikely I'll be able to find out if it's something in the website itself or an external factor.

Post by: Scarlet Passion on April 29, 2007, 04:01:26 am: Ooooh it fixed it!
It looks alright now.

Was it a mirage or a hallucination perhaps?

I'm going to bed now, I think I am much more tired than I previously thought.

night night.

it's taking literally minutes to generate pages and even longer to post.
