Site Hard To Load ?

[R31Nismoid]

lol - oh ye forgot to email you about this C... been a bit busy

But its random throughout the day from 10am onwards... it's super bad 8-9pm which i think is the backup time ye for the US server?

just added sau to the cacti instance at work and set it to graph http and tcp response times.... i'll send you some results tomorrow if you like.

***scratch that****

looks like i have proxy issues and cant get cacti to reach it... might take me a day to fix it.

[Basti]

trust me. im a student doctor.

to stay OT, do we have a rough ETA on the forum upgrade? im happy to deal with some issues while i wait.

[funkymonkey]

yeah as far as I can tell, it takes a long time to respond between 10am and 12am, the data eventually comes through, so I'm guessing its a database/software issue than a connectivity issue.

[jrm]

Funny; I was just trying to load this threads second page and it just did the same thing as people are describing .. haha

[PranK]

Basti, forum upgrade is moving slowly as hell.. First thing is getting the site back to AU hosting, which will happen in the next few weeks.

epic fail last night. what a kent

[PranK]

Really?

Arrrgh!!!

Ok, ok, I'm onto the new hosting, time to bring it back to Aust.

[STATUS]

good to see its not just me, i was beginning to lose my shite @ our server setup... thinking it was at fault

It really is a random thing, it went all slow for me about 5mins ago and its late.

[JAS-25T]

Yeah a bit earlier today for me it gave me an IPS database error or something alike as well as teh usual krep.

FYI - New server has been ordered; Dual quad-core xeon, 16GB memory, 15k drives and in Sydney. Will be blazing soon!!

Lag makes me very.. very

[scotty014]

sweet sounds good, just to let you know its been really bad tonight from about 9.00pm

[SLY-25T]

i get it every time i load SAU. page will be blank and say loading for about 30sec when it use to load straight away. surfing through threads is alright. lil laggy but not too bad just the start up thats bad for me

[PranK]

How soon ?

Lag makes me very.. very

Box will be ready in a few days, then another few days to sync everything and update dns. Hopefully all done by next weekend.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this...

it seems to happen around 4:30 on the dot... for me, it happens at other times too, but I am using a proxy to get here as work has blocked it but won't admit it... so it could be a number of things. But every afternoon, around 4:30, I leave SAU cause it doesn't respong for some time...

Christian, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of costs do you incur hosting this website? And what kind of traffic does it normally see? A PM is fine if you like.

[Rekin]

I recommend all the people complaining about the lag to please donate money to SAU. Australian servers cost a lot more than american servers and thats the only solution to get everyone quick page loads.

ok post 2.0 (first one got lost after i hit the add reply button and the site crashed)

it took me 3 mins to get into this thread last time, and took me 5 mins this time. the site keeps coming up with a notice saying that the connection was reset. it hasn't been getting really bad. i've had it happening all day at work and it's even worse tonight. it is completely random. i opened up a few windows today (about 6 i think) and only 1 of them loaded, the rest crashed, and then the one that did open crashed when i tried to submit a post. yesterday the site only had a few downtimes, but today i'd say i've had it crash 4 or 5 times an hour. sometimes (like at the moment) it will crash, then come good, then crash again within 20 seconds of coming good again. over the last few days it was just hanging and taking ages to load but today it has been coming up with the error i said before about the connection being reset. i did have 1 UPS error or whetever it's called pop up, and i've also had some pages load with a shortened web address at the top of the page in the title box thingy. so at the moment this page has "site hard to load? - skylines australia - mozilla firefox" but a few times it's had the web address in there. also sometimes tonight when it has crashed and i've hit refresh it's come up with a box asking me if i want to save a file or open it and asking what program to open it with. the file usually says the thread name and has the file type .info (i think).

ok, lets try this again

*crosses fingers and hits add reply after copying this reply incase i need to post it again
