Forum Errors (Updated Information Posted)

[Thierry 0]

Its soooo bad right now, for every link I click I have to refresh 5 times

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Same here, started geating really bad a few days ago

[Sonic 296]

Its working ok for me. The last time I got an "attack" of those errors was last week when I was setting up the retro forum styles.

[Thierry 0]

It takes a lot of refreses just to make this post :cry:

 

Any idea on how to fix this

[Sonic 296]

There is nothing I can do to fix the problem, other than find another host for CNCNZ.com, I don't have another host to move to. Plus I don't feel like moving the site, its a pain in the ass.

 

The problem is the server it self not these forums or CNCNZ.com, and Gaming Source are the ones who need to fix the problem.

Try reducing the load CNCNZ puts on the server, I know a lot of forum features are integrated into the frontpage, perhaps loosing some of those (at least temporarally) would reduce strain on the SQL of the server

[Sonic 296]

That probably won't make any difference to be honest. There are only 3 things that load on the main page, LiveWire at the top, Recent forum threads just below and then the poll in the right column. News doesn't count (I think), it reads from flat files, not a mySQL database.... but you already know that chickendippers.

 

There is another site hosted by Gaming Source (sharing same server that CNCNZ.com is on) that should be re-coding there pages you know.

They are.

[Sonic 296]

I don't know if anyone noticed but in the last 24 hours I've noticed a massive increase in the server's response time and I haven't seen any SQL errors from our forums.

 

Can anyone confirm this for me?

 

I've been informed by Gaming Source that I have the option of moving CNCNZ.com to one of their other servers, it would result in a couple of hours downtime.

 

Gaming Source have already moved that other site I mentioned of the server we are currently on to ease the load.

 

I'm still monitoring the situation, as I have been for the past few weeks.

I had them quite heavy yesterday. But maybe that was before the move, a little bit of time will tell us.

 

If we move onto a server of another major gaming source web-site, it could result in the cure being worse than the disease. In my opinion we should keep CNCNZ on this server for the mean time to see how it goes. So I'm in favour of staying put.

[Sonic 296]

Robin at Gaming Source has given me the option, I told him I would like to wait and see how things go on this server.

If we move Gaming Source take care of it, an automated process. We only have to wait a couple of hours.

[Thierry 0]

I haven't had a single one

Hmmzzz....C&C King posts a staff reqeust and he gets help in 3 days, on World Rebellion its months and still....am I doing something wrong here?

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

I thought it was something to do with my computer yesterday when the server began to play up.

 

If you begin to do server swaps, people and things might get lost too...

[FlaK 0]

It's faster than it was, yes. But still not very fast.

[Mr_Lee_ 0]

I think this is the best I've seen it go at since I joined, but I joined three days ago, so I don't know really.

It was the way I worded it at the beginning that did it. Just like a real job advert in the paper..

 

As for the forum blackouts, I'm still getting them. it's only been a few in the last few days, but it shouldn't happen at all really.

[Sonic 296]

Sorry guys I should have posted this info way sooner. If you can hang in there a solution is coming, it involves petrol and a box of matches... no wait.... Gaming Source are sorting it out :lol:

 

Here is the info from Gaming Source that was e-mailed to me last Friday May 13th. While reading this remember CNCNZ.com is located on the server called GH2. The parts in bold give you the basic idea.

Thierry, I think its a bit different when it comes to modding, not every knows who to do it.

[Thierry 0]

Yeah I geuss so...

Ah well, I wont try anymore staff requests....I won't help anyway :roll:

 

GH2 is being fixed?

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Its been REALLY slow latley and keeps timing out

[Sonic 296]

Well the site has been transferred to Gaming Source's new and faster server. And looking at the control panel for the CNCNZ.com account the server load is high again :roll:

 

I haven't been getting any of those annoying database errors from the forums or time out problems.

 

I will e-mail Gaming Source for some confirmation about the situation.

[Luk3us 63]

I got a bunch of server error 500 messages before...

[Sonic 296]

I never get these errors but the speed is horrible right now.

 

Anyway I've been told that extremely large sites are currently being transferred over to the new server and this is affecting performance at this time. Things should improve in the coming days.

[Thierry 0]

I hope, cus its slow as hell...

 

I did get the Could Not Connect error again though

[GeneralZ 0]

Yeah. before, it would occasionally have "phbb error"

 

Now it just loads really slow. I liked it better before, even with the phbb error. As long as it loads fast, i'm happy. Errors come second in priority for me

[chickendippers 1]

Seems to be running well now...but it's always quiet at this time.
