I'm having extended problems trying to get onto the site last few days from the UK.. Very long delays in page loading only to be met by "database error." Can anyone fix this please? I've tried on multiple platforms and the problem still exists.
Thanks in advance. |

Been the same everywhere. Don’t bother with the server messages - they apparently don’t mean anything. I think they had a server go down a few days ago and have been trying to recover ever since.

We have actually been on three different servers now since the 11th. First was the original server, which had a hardware failure and wouldn't even turn on any more. That one lasted a long time for us, its day just came, that's all. That was on the 12th. We were moved to an identical server until today, but that one had some sort of software/BIOS/hardware conflict where the server would restart on its own and it could not be corrected. Now we're on a third server (Dell PowerEdge C1100) with basically the same specs as the old ones, though I was told it's a newer model with slightly better hardware. I've had to convert database storage engines, change SQL configurations, restore a bit of lost data, make adjustments to the code here to work with the new server's updated software, and do a bunch of other things to get us to where we are now. And I have more work to do. While things are much better than they have been lately, there are/will be slow periods at times. I've identified what those issues are and have a plan to take care of it.
Anyhoo, that's where we're at and what's been happening lately. If that makes any difference, that is. G.

You make a big difference Gene. I feel like a crackhead going thru major withdrawals. Thanks for your help keeping me straight (the big green monster is a powerful thing and the man behind the green curtain certainly seems magical to me.)

Hi Gene.
When I said "Don’t bother with the service messages" I meant that I've seen a lot of them during this last downtime, like the system is backing up because it's late at night, and I don’t have authorization, etc. The whole bucket of them have been showing up. Jim |

Hi Jim,
I know, no worries. These last couple weeks have been enough for everybody, including me. I never take things people write literally, I simply read it to get a sense of the person's experiences and/or opinion. Both help me out a lot, since I'm not a regular user on the forums. I'm not a magician and am not browsing the various forums on a day-to-day basis like everybody else, so I read the comments closely to get an idea of what might be going on. If there's a specific issue then I'll get into it to find out exactly what's happening. Most times, in order to correct something, I have to duplicate it so I can see for myself what's happening. In the tech world that's very important. Generalities are fine for some things but not for others, especially when trying to track down a bug somewhere. Sorry, I'm rambling, but suffice to say, keep the comments about the board coming. It's another way for me to be aware of any issues, and that's a good thing.
