Forum Gateway Timeouts

[The PIT]

Not a happy bunny this morning the radar is workign fine but the forum itself is suffering from gateways 504 timeouts and posts have a habit of not being posted.

[James M]

Yeah I'm getting the gateway timeout message, need to refresh a few times before I can get on the forum.

[Kiwi]

Its pants!!

Every year as soon as we get any winter weather in the South-east the site suffers some sort of seizure!

Will it ever be sorted out?

[Isolated Frost]

It's been very popular over the night- it takes a lot, i'd imagine Paul and the team are doing their best to sort it out. Just refresh the page and it works, it'll just do it every 5-10mins.

That's not particularly true or fair Kiwi - we've invested a huge amount in the servers and have a solid uptime record - even in the busiest times such as yesterday evening there wasn't a problem - it's 730 in the morning now and not exactly as busy as that yet.

One of the servers we use for the forum has some sort of issue, we're rebooting now and it will hopefully clear it. Fortunately because we load balance the forum across more than one server it won't go down whilst we do that.

Edit - that's the reboot completed and everything should now be back to normal.

Fair enough ....but it was frustrating that at 6am this morning I was unable to get into the forum to post my annoyance with the weather! Who should I complain to about this weather?? (not within your remit I suspect!) :lol:

[Dorsetbred]

In defence Paul & team do their utmost to keep this whose business running tickety boo. Sure it was annoying but hey, ho there we go, ticking along nicely now...

[The PIT]

Kiwi got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. First problem for ages and toys go out off the pram. One of them hit me on the head....

Feel guilty now for raising the issue.

[santorum]

I just assumed I had been placed on some kind of miserable users hack.

[Backtrack]

Happened to me now too.

[The PIT]

Problem back again this morning which also probably explains the difficulty logging in again.

I've had no problem but last night around midnight I had the same problem

[Isolated Frost]

Happened to me now too.

You were listening to katy perry so it doesn't matter that it happened to you

[Paul]

We have been having a problem with one of the forum servers which has resulted in these occasional timeouts, hopefully we've fixed it now.

Cheers Paul! I have had the same problem in the last few days, glad you have managed to fix the problem!

still having problems here, server timing out when trying to access the model thread, surprising considering there's been twice as many users online in previous times

[Paul]

It's nothing to do with traffic, it's a server issue.

[Lancashire Lass]

Still having problems here also.

[#2001] Sorry, the server is too busy to handle your request, please try again in a moment.

[phil nw.]

Yup just had a timeout too.

[Lancashire Lass]

Not been able to get on the forum for about 10 mins. I keep getting various error codes:

502 Bad Gateway

The server returned an invalid or incomplete response

An error occured with the SQL server:

This is not a problem with IP.Board but rather with your SQL server. Please contact your host and copy the message shown above.

504 Gateway Time-out

The server didn't respond in time.

forum.netweather.tv Driver Error

There appears to be an error with the database.

If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again.

[phil nw.]

Just had some more timeouts error 504.

[Purplepixii]

Problems here too, putting it down to loads of netweather users online / server problems but hey, poo happens

[gottolovethisweather]

[johnholmes]

[I Cumbria Marra I]
