Title: Internal server error
Post by: OSHIROmodels on January 28, 2014, 08:58:48 AM
I've had a few of these over the past day or so but I'm assuming that this is known already, just thought I'd give a heads up just in case  :)

Ah, I thought it might be the 'tap a talk' thing that's suddenly appeared.

I'll let you know if it continues  :)

Yeah, had that a little last night for a couple of minutes and then it stopped.

Happened again last night at about 21:00 GMT but I don't know how long for.

We're getting bigger and bigger and the traffic is growing steadily. Who knows, maybe it's time to think about a server upgrade.

I ahd a bad bout of the Internal Server Errors today. Lasted a while.

Yes, down for over an hour this morning.  I went all Cold Turkey.  :'(

Yup, same here. Tried to log on about ten past nine and have just got on now after trying every ten-15 mins or so.

We had difficulties with LAF SQL database and this did lock all the other SQL runnings (LAM etc.) Sorry the inconvenience!

I will keep an eye on this.

Sunday morning and I had to 'do stuff'. Disgraceful.

Well, when I say 'do stuff' I meant watching Disney's 'Robin Hood' ... but it was still distressing.
Title: Re: Internal server error
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on February 02, 2014, 11:56:10 AM
Still have some issues, so a new start of the database or the server could be necessary in the next 1-2 hours.

Thanks Alex, for getting it back up and running :)
(At least for the time being  ::))

Is it time to move home again? ;)
Title: Re: Internal server error
Post by: Mason on February 02, 2014, 06:10:45 PM
It has been the case all afternoon for me.

Cubs may well have had to 'do stuff' but I have had to get through almost a whole day at work like this.......cold turkey is NOT the right expression for that!

We will see. At the moment it looks like the issue wasn't the server or the database but the web service. Unfortunately it needed all the day to get the right man from the provider company on the phone.

I've only just got back on. It was so bad I went on to TMP. Then I decided switching the internet off was preferable. Thank you for sorting it Prof.

I think the server turned into a big sopping heap without the strength to perform its job for the understandable reason that Philip Seymore Hoffman died today. I sympathize. RIP.  :(

Has anyone else noticed occasional board slowdowns before and since the crash?
Title: Re: Internal server error

The site is becoming very popular, its not surprising to see that the most people logged in was last week.

Yes for "before" and no for "since". I did some changes on the settings and hope this will work. If not so we will have to look for a new server.

I had another one for about 10 minutes about 10 minutes ago..., very slow running then the dreaded ISE.

I realise that not all problems can be solved by throwing money at them but if it is time to upgrade the server etc facilities perhaps it is time to require all members who have something to sell (whether personally or corporately) to be supporting members?

Thanks, Steve, but I'm still not sure that it has something to do with the server. Recent crash was about some services which weren't running properly. LAF would be slow all the time if we had performance problems due to older hardware but it isn't.

Apart from that the main problem of the moving to a new server is primarly not lack of money but lack of time. I would have to take a vacation, it's really a very big deal.

We will see.

Just had a failure to load the page, followed by internal server error.

Started from scratch and all ok now.

Anything in your Apache logs? Sounds as if you might have an issue with unclosed threads accumulating in memory

Am also getting regular incidents of slow running  :(

And earlier, somewhat strangely, the Paypal image appeared over the home button  :?

I too am either getting a 500 Internal Server Error or a crippling slowdown at least 2-3 times per day.

Title: Re: Internal server error

And into this morning too. That did seem like the worst one so far.  :'(
Title: Re: Internal server error
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on March 02, 2014, 11:28:00 AM
Yes, the problem with the weekend crashs it takes quite long to get the right people from the technical support. But fortunately I was able to get some. We did some changes on the configuration and I hope it will make slightly better but I assume we perhaps will have to get a new server with more RAM, the current one seems to be a bit outdated.

If the issues continue to occur, I will upgrade to a new machine but as meintioned already this will take some time (2-3 months) to prepare. So I'm sorry in advance for the possible troubles on this site.

Thanks for you understanding.

Prof, does it help you if we log our outage experiences or does mentioning them here simply tell you something you already know?

I receive a message from the server every time the database crashes so actually you don't need to log it. But if it helps to get through the hard times so feel free to post here :)
