Barnum Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 This afternoon (5/20 EST) we have been experiencing "mini outages" on our server. None have lasted longer than a few minutes, but there have been several. I am trying to track down the problem now, but I am pretty sure it is being cause by a faulty CPU-consuming script on another site that shares the server with us. As soon (if) I know more, I will pass it along. If you are working on a post during an outage and get the "white screen of death," after pressing "submit," press the back button on your browser. Your post should still be there if you have your browser set to cache web pages. Until the mini-outages issue is solved, you may want to highlight and copy your post before pressing submit. Just in case. Thanks for understanding.
Heritage Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Thanks for the heads up; I try to remember to save before posting, but I don't always do so. Also, I think this may be the 2000th post in the campaign discussion section! :o
Barnum Posted May 25, 2008 Author Posted May 25, 2008 I have seen nothing about further outages in our logs, so I'm guessing the problem was resolved by our host. Let me know if you experience any further difficulties.
Dr Archeville Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 You jinxed it! I've barely been able to make any posts here because I keep getting "taking too long to respond, connection timed out" messages.
Barnum Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 Strange. The logs are clean, and it appears to be working fine now. I'll keep an eye out.
nareik123 Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I've had no timeouts for a bit of time, and i'm on wireless internet.
Barnum Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 You jinxed it! I've barely been able to make any posts here because I keep getting "taking too long to respond, connection timed out" messages. The outage(s) have reoccurred this morning. I have submitted a support ticket (again). We'll see what we get on this one. *crosses fingers* [Edit] We got nothing. As usual, they waited until the site was back online and then emailed me saying, "We have no problem accessing your site. It must be you." :evil:
Folkert Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I think I just had one of those. Started around half an hour ago and then got me the "not responding" error for approx. 20 minutes.
Dr Archeville Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I wasn't able to access the site for about an hour this morning.
Dr Archeville Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Looks like there was another mini-outage this morning.
Barnum Posted August 7, 2008 Author Posted August 7, 2008 The site was down for about 2 hours this morning: 9:00–11:00 EST (GMT -5). The half hours on the margins were touch and go, and there was an hour or so in the middle when the domain wouldn't even resolve. Hope that helps.
