Forum timeouts and server errors

karol · 2013-11-14 16:24:04

In the last two days I've been experiencing intermittent problems with the forum: when I click a link to a thread or post sometimes I can't get it to load. I have to wait about a minute and try again. The same issue occurs when I try to submit a post.

I'm not maxing out my internet connection, other websites are working fine.

Should I post this to the ML?

Wait and see if anyone else is experiencing it. I get it from time to time, but suspect my conection is responsible more often than not.

I also haven't noticed an uptick in frequency over the last week; nor does it happen when trying to submit a post, just when browsing*

* Having said that, my browsing rate is probably similar to your posting one...

If I run into this once a week it's absolutely not a problem, but it has happened over 20 times in the last ~48 hours, that's why I'm asking.

Maybe it's just the universe trying to tell me something ... That's too bad, because I'm very good at not listening ;-P

It happened four times in the last hour. When I wanted to post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1350626 I got

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to update user visit data.

Is it always this error? Looks like a DB overload then. FluxBB scales pretty bad.

This is only the second time I saw it in the pat week. Once was about 5 days ago and today was the second, when I wanted to post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1350626

Mostly it's just pages loading, loading, loading and never getting anywhere. If I come back in a minute or two, they usually load w/o a problem.

Could be. A few search queries in the forums can block the whole system.

I had a problem connecting about 30-45 mins ago. Just got a standard could not connect page from Firefox. Other sites were loading fine.

Though this thread is older, the other one has more info. Please follow the link in Pierre's post just above mine.

Sorry karol. Closing.
