404 errors
Anyone else having problems with the forums? The past couple of days, the forums have been intermittently giving me 404 errors. Sometimes, they work fine, and then other times, without warning, the forums just stop responding. The outage lasts a few minutes and then it seems to just get better.

That's because the Hotness Sensors always go off line when you join the site. The poor AI can barely process your beauty because it broke the scales so it must shut down itself before cum all over the cloud data.AnastasiaPierce wrote:it was down most of the day for me. been trying to access for hours

Yeah I think I pushed the bleeding edge too much and upgraded the webserver but we just might need more ram...looking into it...

Not sure if it helps diagnose the problem but from here in Europe I tend to see 503 errors on chrome (HTTP Proxy error - from memory) and a comment about connections being exceeded. The issue seemed to have been building for a week or two with chat messages not sending, then navigation within the site becoming slow until eventually yesterday around 1600CET when it was impossible to get in. Running ping and tracert to the site showed no issues and "is it down" said the site was up. All the best on fixing the issue!

So from a strictly technically point of view you literally derail your own site. Oh the irony !MightyHypnotic wrote:Yeah I think I pushed the bleeding edge too much and upgraded the webserver but we just might need more ram...looking into it...
Now back on topic, down here we don't even receive an error message. The Browser just say the site takes too long to respond or I get a white screen that loads forever but never start or finish so is a infinite loop into limbo from time to time and that's worst than be banned.
Is like for a moment the universe cease from existence.

Yeah, let's get techical. The problem is in the httpd service which is what delivers web pages. So even if I uploaded a page that said, "We're having issues" you wouldn't see it since that httpd service isn't running. After many hours of debugging and research it turns out there's a known bug in the software code for the latest version of the web service and my choices are to either revert back to an earlier version or apply a patch. I applied the patch, things seem to be up and running, so far so good.
I'll be monitoring the situation (Checking error logs) in case there's a flare up. Trust me I could get way more techincal than this but I decided not too.
The end result, hopefully in the next update to the web service code, will be faster web pages.

Right, so that's the issue exactly. I switched to a multi-threaded MPM instead of a forked process and the issue was the threads weren't dying correctly once they were finished. Basically, anyone who hits the website gets a thread and they are done, that thread is supposed to go away.
So, over the course of time, those threads pile up until they fill the stack (Which is now called the scoreboard for those of you playing at home)
That's when the trouble starts. But at least Apache is aware of the problem and I've run a patch in the meantime.
However if any of you receive ERR NOT RESOLVED errors please post in this forum about it... that's another issue entirely.

I know that when I click the link to come to this site, it's saying 'service timed out'. My first guess was that Mighty Hypnotic was doing maintenance or something on the forums. It seems to be working just fine now though.TIEnTEEZ wrote:Anyone else having problems with the forums? The past couple of days, the forums have been intermittently giving me 404 errors.
