Yet Another Upgrade...

[Mike Bobbitt]

Sapper... it seems to. The web server (and just about every other piece of software) was upgraded at that point, and i made a lot of config changes to adapt. Seems like something may be slightly out of whack. GAP, i have *another* script which I can run to monitor the web server' status... but unfortunately by the time I get to it, things are pretty much unresponsive. I should now be paged when the problem starts to occur, which will help. Assuming it doesn't ramp up too quickly.


Cheers
Mike

I hope you sort it out soon Mike; it's drivin' me to drink!    :cheers:

In [y]our case, it's just a short walk.

Yeah ri-iiight. Just turn around on your chair & reach for that bottle on the shelf behind you; there really is no need to expend the calories required that walking would entail.

Now there's an upgrade that should solve some problems...

 

[George Wallace]

Solve or create problems?

I think a few posters here have already made that upgrade.      >


Do we have a similar upgrade for laptops?

 

[Kat Stevens]

Completely locked out for about 25 mins.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Yep... unrelated to the upgrade, that was more security changes on my part.

 

[Franko]

Extremely slow Mike.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Sorry folks... we were down for a bit overnight. Same old (unidentified) problem. Looks like a database locking issue though, so we're getting closer...

The site is gone wonkie again.  Some pages load.  Some don't.  Some only load partially.  One window will open, but a second gets the "site busy" error......

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Went to load the site and got this instead:

Temporarily Unavailable
Due to high stress on the server the forum is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

I have never seen this before, for any site.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

It's part of the known problem I'm still tracking down. The database gets locked, the web server hangs waiting for response and things to downhill from there. Obviously, I haven't solved it yet, but I'm still on the case.

Sorry for the frustration all.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

I'm now tweaking some low level performance settings on the web server, which I think will ultimately solve the 'slow to hang' problem we've been seeing.

It's quite likely that as I test the settings, I'll make things worse before I have the problem properly bracketed, so please continue to be patient.
