[!REQUEST] Server Performance

[Eudemon]

Keeping tabs on how good or horrible this server is running this forum and would appreciate if you guys could inform me of any slowdown and the like that you experience.

 

Thanks.

all been running fine for me

[Baldy]

May have just been my connection, but I've just had two minutes of downtime, from 21:59 to 22:01.

[Eudemon]

Nothing showing in the logs mate. Servers been up a good 35 days continuously from the server stats.

[Baldy]

My connection then, it's been playing up for a few days, I'll have to give them a call tomorrow.

[Eudemon]

Who you gonna call !!

Site performance

 

Hi just recently I have had a number of problems with the site loading and refreshing, it has been hanging alot and I have had to press refresh 3 or 4 time before it will load

[Baldy]

Okay I'm still having problems and it is a fault with this site only as all other sites load really fast, i rang my isp and they said my line and there connection has no problems.

[Eudemon]

Weird as I have had no emails to show this is happening plus no 404 (Page cannot be found) errors that aren't the usual. Is this happening on the main page or a particular one? Is anyone else having any problems?

 

I'll put a script to monitor the forum's uptime and log it so I can view it later.

[Baldy]

It happens on any page at random times normally when it's quiet. Sounds strange i know but when were busy performance is much better for me.

I have a problem now uploading pics to the site. It times-out after a few mins and I get a page error.

 

I even changed the file sizes to 200KB and it's still the same.

[Eudemon]

blah blah test

[UltimoImperio]

I havn't had one problem with this site acctually.

 

Most forum's have their ups and downs, even gamespot is slow sometimes and they have a really good domain payed for by a big company.

 

The forum is good o' and I think we should only be worried if the server crashes and doesn't come up for 3 days or gets borked completely.

 

I just posted this in quick reply and it was really fast about 3 quarters of a second and it was up.

[nitrox]

going smoothly over here :)

[Pherelas]

Having a few problems with it being slow but is probably me my connection. Anyone else having this or will i have to play with settings again?

I think its everyone, since the new skins gone up it takes slightly longer to load (only a few seconds longer) than the old one.

[Eudemon]

Pherelas is talking about drastic slowdown, I had it too but my ISP was going up and down like a yoyo. I have however noticed Internet Explorer is crazy slow in displaying the content and rendering the forum whereas Firefox has no issues at all as does Opera.

 

Haha ironically my ISP is going up and down like yoyo this morning. Great!

[Baldy]

there's just been a small server error, can anyone who noticed it please post here. Thanks

[hesonly5]

Me! And CMM and Iced_Bullet for that matter, I asked 'em on Messenger :p

[Eudemon]

Just to let you know we were performing a Database backup hence why the server was offline for about 10mins. I could send a support ticket and get it done by my host but that's a few hours wait, whereas doing it myself is about 10-15mins.

 

I did kind of forget that when I do this though that the server goes nuts so sorry about that. :D

[hesonly5]

10mins? It only went down for a couple...

[CarMadMike]

If that, about 1min!

[Baldy]

yep it was very quick. Although enough time for people to ask me where it had gone, and then the organ grinder informed of his stupidity.
