cooperlola Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I'm having a mixture of problems today - has the site eaten too many Easter eggs or something? I keep getting server errors; cannot post without having several goes, and I'm not getting e-mails via the site (see http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/4/1178093/ShowPost.aspx#1178093 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It's been sickly for over a week now, on and off. The tech guys have been monitoring it, and we've been reporting most errors to them, but today it's just pants [:(]The likelihood of there being anyone available to do anything about it today or tomorrow is slim I suspect, so we may just have to grit our teeth and bear it for a couple of days.

Anna Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Phew, that's a relief....thought it was just me!! I have found it seems to correct itself when I click on my Refresh button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 According to the tech guys, things should improve in the middle of next week, when new servers will be put online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I keep reading about new servers etc being implemented, I am sure several times now there has been some sort of upgrade (not that you would know it[:)]) but seriously each time something like this has to be implemented does it cost the site operators a pile of money?If so I have every sympathy with them.

Pierre ZFP Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Certainly does cost a pile of dosh. We're not talking popping down to the local PC shop and picking up a 'special'. These will be Sun Executive Servers or similar, real beasts with huge amounts of grunt. They have (usually) from 2 to 16 processors in them, each is as big as your hand and each processor costs a whopping 30,000 pounds! but all that can be wasted if it's not implemented properly. Database tuning and load balancing is still a black art despite the many learned papers that have been written on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tressy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It's really bad today. It's just taken me ten minutes to post in another section. There were 4 or 5 different error messages before I finally managed to post.[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 It certainly does cost a substantial amount of money to keep everything running smoothly. Unfortunately, as today's demonstrated sometimes even the best laid plans can fall apart....One of our web filers developed a fault this afternoon that's managed to corrupt the website file systems. This has meant that the webservers have been unable to access certain elements of our sites (including most of the forum systems), and the variety of "Server Error" pages you've probably been seeing were the direct result.Work's under way at the moment to roll back to an earlier version of the filesystem and to restore stability.Myselfand another IS engineer are on the case, along with emergency support fromthe storage system vendor.Hopefully things will be a little smoother through the weekend, and our 4 additional webservers should be online early next week - bringing further performance and stability improvements.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suein56 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Crikey I didn't expect you to still be there - are you allowed to go home at all, or do Archant have you chained to your pc for the duration?Sue [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Stephenson (Archant IS) Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 We're still trying to get to the bottom of what caused the crashes to happen so suddenly... The storage system supplier currently believes our system suffered some form of critical failure that took the units offline. Replacement hardware is being dispatched to us for delivery Monday.Am sat at home however as opposed to the office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Somethings working better now as I've been able to open about 20 pages without an error message in sight... I reckon its the Songs we are Singing thread causing all the problems!!! [Www] [:$] [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
