Shoutbox

There are currently some routing issues at EV1 (where this server is hosted), which are also causing problems.

uh....okay i'll stare at the ceiling for some time...........

* andrey hopes the server load decreases...

Man, I walk away from my computer for four hours to set up cubicals at work and looks what happens.

The software upgrade was an upgrade to the latest in teh apache 1.3.x series and PHP 5.0.3. I'll tweak the settings.


Yes we are moving to a bigger server. When we get said server we'll move. But were waiting for c2medias next round of server setup's (neither Surfi nor I like FreeBSD servers with jail installed) so we'll hopefully have a new one soon.

Lately i've been gettin this more and more often:

We can't find "http://shoutbox.menthix.net/latest.php"
- Cannot Find Server - The web site you typed in could not be found on the internet.

Not even the "Max serverload limit" message

I checked how many users were online and last time it happend (5 mins ago) when i came back it said like 153 users. I even turned off "refresh" to help decrease serverload.

that's probably what 'dz said... the server has so many connections (even non-forum ones) that it queues your request and then it times out.

pretty annoying

i experienced a similar kind of a pronblem yesterday



i got this error continously until i had to give up and come online right now after more than 12 hours

also to let you know that all other websites were working fine so there was nothing wrong with my connection ...

Cool, but how long is this going to take lol, its been like this for ages . Aww well, all in time, imo, a load of old users should be deleted to clear some room, as most of the users haven't posted for about 2 years in member list...

This surfer has seemed to be ok until now, I just can't wait until c2media host this site finally so it gets a decent server

It's going to take as long as the C2 server admin reformats our server. He had a batch of servers to do this week so we're hoping its done then.

Remember, currently there have been alot of routing problems with oversea's connections to EV1, which is where this server is located. A lot of the time the server is running fine, with a semi-steady load (sometimes spikes though).
