SMF having problems

Bigguy · August 16, 2006, 01:26:32 PM

It`s hard getting on the site today. Sometimes it times out and others it`s loading REAL slow. Is it just me or is SMF having a couple problems.

G6™ · August 16, 2006, 02:32:26 PM

Yes, i have a hard tiime browsing here to, it takes 3 or 4 minutes to just change page and i get timed out, server can not be found a lot since last night here

N3lson · August 16, 2006, 03:00:51 PM

Yes, i have same problem .... slow server

Bigguy · August 16, 2006, 03:09:35 PM

Well glad it`s not just me, lol. It`s to bad there having problems but I`m sure it will be sorted soon.

Skipdawg · August 16, 2006, 03:20:52 PM

Yes very slow!

Like a snail on ice slow

Someone already kill the new servers?

It was doing so well there for awhile.

Yes, when the page has loaded, some images load incompleted and display a red cross in their image.

Crazy still crawling today. What happened to that new speedy server? This thing is slower than a old 386 being connected to via dialup in 1996. lol

$:-\$

Bigguy · August 17, 2006, 04:04:33 PM

I`m sure it`s just some technical difficulties, but it does seem alot faster at night than during the day for me.

its been slow for me timeing out loads and not posting due to time outs

H · August 17, 2006, 05:19:19 PM

Its a known issue

It should hopefully be sorted soon

I believe one of our admin tools set apache into a spin. Its nothing to do with the server itself. Im sadly awol but i think our devs are working on it

agent14 · August 17, 2006, 07:11:19 PM

I was loading slowly 1-4hrs ago but now its moving smoothly. btw...I'm on an adsl connection.

Nice try, but it's not the server that's barfing. Maybe you should let the people sort it out that are already working on it.

Bigguy · August 17, 2006, 09:38:56 PM

Yep runnin great now. What ever you did it's workin so far.

Skipdawg · August 18, 2006, 12:02:26 PM

I good swift kick works for me often.

Bigguy · August 18, 2006, 01:01:28 PM

Yep or a real hard slap on the side of the case or maybe throw it up against a wall maybe, lol

kai920 · August 18, 2006, 10:43:40 PM

I am intermittently getting this error while browsing... not sure if related

kai920 · August 18, 2006, 10:47:53 PM

just got it again - but this time it looks a little different

dschwab9 · August 19, 2006, 01:15:43 AM

Any particular page you're getting that on?

kai920 · August 19, 2006, 01:21:04 AM

I didn't keep track but it appears to have been random. I'll keep an eye out to see if any pattern emerges.

edit -just got it again, while clicking on this page. First I got the single-column error page... then a refresh brought me to the wider layout... and THEN a refresh finally brought me to the page. Maybe it's just me $:-\$

PS. I have cleared my cache. Using Firefox. Anything I'm missing?

Remaker · August 19, 2006, 10:37:12 AM

Ok... what's the problem?

I'm now using a proxy to connect to simplemachines.org , because it's just not loading , I can't even ping the domain or the ip. THis is happening for 3 days + now.
At first, I believed that you did a DNS change or something, but it's not working after 3 days, and I can't even ping the ip of simplemachines.org

The strange part is , that I can access the site, from everywhere except from my network.

What's happening?

agent14 · August 19, 2006, 12:48:47 PM

I got a 404 when I tried to load the forums...then when I tried www.simplemachines.org I got an Apache installation successful message. I'm guessing that the guys switched servers?

SleePy · August 19, 2006, 12:49:39 PM

SMF site is having some problems... look at this..
but focus on the page load at the bottom..

a 51 second page load.. that can not be good for the system..

dschwab9 · August 19, 2006, 12:52:20 PM

We're currently doing some debugging and just recompiled apache and PHP to add a module. There was a period where apache had a default config file, which is why you got the Apache page.

PM me your IP address please. All I can see is the IP of your proxy. There were a couple of blocks of IP's blocked the other day because someone was attempting to brute force our server. I suspect your IP may be in one of those blocks.
