Maybe the host is getting near their bandwidth limit or something, but it seems to be OK now. (I hope) ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit 68k Macintosh Liberation Army 00014 Macs liberated.

(I hope) quite often in the afternoon (nyc time) the forums go awol. has anyone else noticed any patterns, the last couple of days it's been different . quite often just the heading will load and then stop and i have been getting database error codes again, should we take screen shots of oddities and forward them to someone for troubleshooting? jt

I was imagining that these hassles were caused by the server simply having too many requests for forum pages - whether or not they're 68kmla ones, or the literatureclassics ones. Sometimes... tis just busy. I don't quite find it a 75% on/25% off thing... more like 97%/3% for me. I'd rather a server just give an error message from not being able to serve every message, than crash & be down for a day or so - perhaps even going to a set of known-good backups which may lose a few hours of messages. Perhaps thats just me and my blatant mistrust of anything remotely computer related :D dana (they're out to get us - wrap your heads in foil...)

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 14 Mar 2002 : 10:55:26 The complete topic ID, it was slow, but it worked. I couldn't get into anything else, though. I guess it was because it was so new and the server was still compiling it?

I dunno... before you forget them, type out some notes on the circumstances for the debugging effort. maybe if we help run this kind of stuff down, it'll go away faster and we can ingratiate ourselves to the sponsor. whaddyasay ~coxy? jt

raWr Junior Member Tuvalu 491 Posts	Posted - 15 Mar 2002 : 10:29:36 umm hi my IE says "Error 500 internal Server Error". Fleet Covert Ops Macs liberated: 4-5
cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 15 Mar 2002 : 13:00:55 The HTTP 500 means that the server is overloaded and won't let anyone access. It's usually preceeded by at least a half hour of half or partial page loads and/or dead links, though. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!
