Has anyone else had a lot of errors when trying to post or unusually long search times?
It's to the point where I can't even post replies 90% of the time.

Yep, I have the same thing. It seems to have improved now... a few hours ago I got a 403 nearly every time I tried to load a page. When I tried to post something I just got to a blank page when I pressed submit.
It's always a good practice to copy what you're about to post before pushing the button though. That way you don't lose it if something goes wrong. For really long posts I use notepad. :)
Hah, I do the same thing, except I don't paste it in notepad or anything I just keep it on the clipboard...

PR??? :D) - cause it was happening in every browser I have - even OLD ones I keep for testing, etc, and it was really frieking me out...

You guys STILL having issues? (report back AFTER a reboot) :cool:

I re-booted last night after the first set of issues. I ended up trying a different computer in the house still with the same problems. But I kept getting reply notices in my email, so I figured it was on my side. I just went to bed around 11 and hoped it would work in the morning.
I got a few today, but posting seems fine. I keep getting longer than normal search times though.

Hey Max - yeah, I just NOW got a 'blank reply' when posting to a thread - so much for 'fixed' :rolleyes: I think somethin is up with the PL server - if it is across multiple browsers, multiple, 'IP-unique' machines and even CONTINENTS (ie Tocket), well that sounds server-side to me...Quote:

...maybe I shouldn't have said that... 601
:D
... (Ha! - free x-grating (next time I am back in NY) to the first person can tell me what that means AND WHY I put it up :cool:

well THAT's sure the way to 'flush the bowl'...:D
...now maybe we can all get something DONE around the 'shop'...:rolleyes:
g'nite! ;)

got the same thing
601. Windows terminal services error: Port Unavailable, typically vomited back by the focus window when there is a generic/nondescript yet permanent hardware error with a modem.
I *think* I got that bug killed and I *think* that because I have yet to see a blank page when stress testing the mysql database connection. Multiple connections and multiple writes don't seem to choke anymore. One thing I had to do was upgrade to php 5.2.x and unfortunately the PL Gallery is completely dead in the water because of it.
I'm working on a solution... And hopefully this one wont destroy something else.
For those of you who are interested in details:
Server:
PHP5.2 installed
MySQL 5.0.24a upgraded from 4.2
cgi-fcgi installed (FastCGI parser)
VBulletin:
Attachments moved into the file system from the database.
Avatars and Profile pictures moved into file system.
CSS moved to the file system.
GZip/GZip compression levels *removed* entirely.
Post cache increased from 7 days to 30.
Web spiders were slapped around and told where they could stick their queries.
And a whole bunch of other junk I can't remember right now.
It's been a *retardedly* long day.
Hey Spec;
Good job dude. Things are working a lot better. (FYI folks, this problem started Sunday evening with my account. Spec started looking into it back then, thinking it was isolated to just me. Turns out it was something much larger, and he's been working nearly non-stop to fix it ever since.)
Everything is working now, though I'm getting all the re-direct messages now for every action. Never got those before except for initial log-in. Not really a big deal, just something different. But no more failed replies, so life is good!

Like Adam said Good Job!
I must say PL being down for me was like taking heroin away from an addict. I kept on trying to post but realized I couldn't so I would walk away for a few minutes then think to myself 'ohh I know what to do, I'll go on PL!'

Oops... I enabled that feature to help me see what was happening in the time between the submission and the weird failures that were showing up. No need for them now, so they have been removed once again.
You'll only see them now on submissions that require that server generated delay so everything plays nice. Search... Login... stuff like that.
Buffo: not done yet. I have to get PL's administrative nightmare, The Gallery, working again.
I am debating on to setting up a temporary "abuse me" forum when I finally wake up... I figure that a live fire course and torture test are prudent. Open all access up and let the users, guests, and spambots *try* and kill the server. It'll also serve as a good indicator of what this box is capable of.
Are you running this all off your own server?
Either way, thanks!
It one of those things that you don't realize how nice and smooth it operates until it doesn't :)
Damn dude... Take a break and get a nap! Things seem to be working fairly well right now. (I haven't even messed with the gallery though; figured I'd wait until you sounded the all clear on that front.) You've got to be exhausted by this point.
