Forum Down

[wine~o]

Same here...but back to normal now.

[gas4you]

This morning about 7-7:30 wouldn't load a page, and wouldn't refresh after I posted, but now looking, it had actually accepted my post

[moderator2]

Says 7.58 am for your post it that's the right one?

post390848.html#p390848

[gas4you]

Yes that's the one. Got my times a little out.

Not used to being up that early

[northwales4u]

for some reason (might just be me) - I have had to log in every visit for the last 2 days

[wine~o]

Think that the Mods are trying to ban the Welsh...

[thescruff]

Have you thought to ask William on Diynot as both forums are acting the same way.

Slow on and off. from 01:00

[thescruff]

Thats interesting.

If I click on something "forum down" for example, it doesn't load unless I move the mouse away.

I'll try it on the submit button.

edit.

submitted ok but didn't fully load, and the green thing stop going round, but started again when I moved the mouse.

edit 2.

Definitely connected to the mouse movement.

One for wine~o to try if it does it in the morning.

I have been onto support and they have asked me to perform a traceroute when the forum is going slow. This will be difficult for me as I am often at work when it happens so if anyone that experiences problems regularly could please perform a traceroute and pm me the results when the site is going slow I would appreciate it.

You can download a free program for doing the traceroute- http://www.analogx.com/contents/downloa ... eeware.htm


If you download the program and run it at the bottom there is a text entry box, if you enter http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk then hit the trace button it will perform a traceroute. When it has finished click the copy button, then paste it into a private message to me. I'll then forward it to support for them to look at

[ultimatehandyman]

Support have ansewred and have done the following-

I have reconfigured the connection limit and settings of apache now to allow for more traffic and better handling and flushed the firewall. I also set a cron to restart apache every 6 hours to keep it refreshed and avoid any build up to cause it to lag.

Hopefully this will eradicate the slow loading page problem

[thescruff]

Don't know but it just went slow, including the contents page

[gas4you]

I've just downloaded that link Chez.

Will use it if it goes slow again here.

I just done a trace whilst everything is working good as a comparison, if that means anything

[wine~o]

Just went slow for about a minute..

Your 11 is the same as my 15.

109.200.27.10 machine name 10-27-200-109. rackcentre.redstation.net.uk

Perhaps it's to do with this. apart from that being 8 hours not 6hrs.

I also set a cron to restart apache every 6 hours to keep it refreshed
