__Kratos__ Posted February 26, 2006 #54 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Rykster your error is the same one, the same as Kratos reported. The only difference is that you are seeing the main page version of the error message instead of the forum's. As I say though, I really am at a loss to explain this problem. Hardware fault is the only possibility I can come up with at the moment. I'm continuing to look into it, i apologise for any inconvenience this issue may be causing. It's fine, I'm a firm believer in "crap happens". Just seems like the server is after me though. Also, the reason for this post: I forgot to mention I had it dualed up on errors before. I was trying to look at a topic in world news and the spiritual section at once and I got errors on both pages but I only took a screen shot of one. They were only seconds apart. If that sheds any light on anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted February 26, 2006 Author #55 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The problem, as far as I understand and from what I'm seeing, is that at completely random times of the day all database applications (forum, main page etc.) become unable to communicate with the database server. It's not the database server that is returning an error, the database is up and running with no apparant problems when this happens. Instead it seems to be the connection between the two servers at fault, and it's the applications on our web server which are generating the error because they cannot access the database. It is becoming increasingly likely that this is a hardware fault of some sort, or possibly some kind of networking configuration issue. I've contacted our server provider to see if they can take a look and maybe shed some light on it. Fortunately this problem doesn't happen very often, maybe only two or three times a day and only for a few minutes each time. Even so, it's a problem we could do without, so i'll do everything I can to get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerberusxp Posted February 26, 2006 #56 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Being flooded perhaps? Choked up like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted February 27, 2006 Author #57 Share Posted February 27, 2006 As I suspected, there does appear to be a hardware fault with our local area network. Our server provider is going to swap over the connection cable to see if that fixes it, I'll keep this thread up to date with any news relating to the problem.

Saru Posted February 27, 2006 Author #58 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The cable has now been swapped, so now we need to see if the error occurs again. If you experience any forum errors or an inability to access the forum then please let me know by posting in this thread. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykster Posted February 27, 2006 #59 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Excellent sleuthing Saruman! Edit: Still exp "page not found" errors when clicking on a thread from time to time. However, over much less and the response times seem to be snappier. Edited February 27, 2006 by Rykster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted March 6, 2006 Author #62 Share Posted March 6, 2006 *sigh* back to contacting the server provider again. The site was effectively down for the last 6 hours because there were so many network errors that the database server automatically refused connections.

__Kratos__ Posted March 6, 2006 #63 Share Posted March 6, 2006 *sigh* back to contacting the server provider again. Good timing... second I hit enter to bring up UM, it was back up.

Saru Posted March 6, 2006 Author #69 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm really sorry about this, we're doing everything possible to keep the servers running without any more errors. I'm about to implement a fix which should stop the above mentioned error from re-occuring while we work with our server provider to find the root of this extremely frustrating problem.

Rykster Posted March 6, 2006 #71 Share Posted March 6, 2006 wahhh....in the middle of a very well thought out and insightful post I was composing. *sigh* I know this may be off topic, but I think I will get away with it! When I am composing a new topic, or doing a lengthy reply, I keep open "Notepad," and keep copy/pasting into it, and saving it as a temp file. I too had lost posts, or topics. Just a suggestion.
