See where I'm going here? As besson mentioned many pages ago, this isn't an external load breaking the server. There's some broken internal process which is hogging all the resources at about a quarter till.

First one I've gotten in a long time not in the quarter-to sweet spot.

A year later we come full circle. Though I swear they had it fixed for at least a few months.

Someone went through a lot of effort just to prove me wrong.

Dec 23, 2015, 05:13 PM

I just tried loading forums.macnn.com, and Safari just told me that it couldn't connect to the server. This was at 4:12pm edt.

Even though it's moved from a quarter-to to five past, I'm still arguing this is some recurring internal server process. This isn't an external load problem.

Is there any value to reporting these times? Is anything being done about this?

besson3c · Jan 1, 2016, 12:41 PM

My guess is a memory leak that can be addressed with adjusting php-fpm settings to flush/respawn

ghporter · Jan 1, 2016, 08:59 PM

I like besson's take on it. I have no idea if that's what is really going on, but it fits the evidence. For the record, I do not have server or database access; I'm the token "manager" admin.

besson3c · Jan 1, 2016, 09:32 PM

You guys should listen to the poop and fart guy more often.

We agree wholeheartedly, so the first step, is everyone has to give me $5... I'll get back to you later on Step 2.

Some database work happened today. More is happening going forward.

subego · Jan 11, 2016, 10:19 AM

Things are pretty broke and busted at the moment. Server timeouts, busy errors, database errors, and posts aren't bumping threads.

This didn't bump the thread, so I missed it. My apologies.

Thorzdad · Jan 11, 2016, 11:34 AM

I haven't gotten an official "Server busy" error, but, gawdallmighty, the forums are running painfully slow right now.

The Final Dakar · Jan 11, 2016, 11:59 AM

Server was busy for the last 10 minutes.

Mike Wuerthele · Jan 11, 2016, 12:03 PM

Yeah, we're actively working on some major problems as we speak.

OAW · Jan 12, 2016, 04:28 PM

Thought I'd just chime in but the forums have been just godawful today. Server too busy errors. Can't connect to server errors. Or just painfully slow. It's like every 2nd or 3rd time I try to post it throws an error.

The Final Dakar · Jan 12, 2016, 05:34 PM

I need to start scheduling appointments to browse. "Will the server be available at 1.05?"

I hope this means it's still being tweaked.

Cap'n Tightpants · Jan 12, 2016, 06:13 PM

It's totally borked today.

The Final Dakar · Jan 12, 2016, 06:50 PM

I swear to god it down 10-15 min at a time.

Mike Wuerthele · Jan 12, 2016, 07:01 PM

It does mean that its still being worked on. There are some pretty major database issues both on the main page and here in the forums that are getting cleaned up.

Jan 12, 2016, 08:14 PM

Something might be wrong with the cat cable, so far I've found this...

Mike Wuerthele · Jan 14, 2016, 07:50 AM

Okay. Changes have been made, and blood sacrifices performed. Let me know how it works out for you.

Thorzdad · Jan 14, 2016, 02:34 PM

So far, so good.
