  • Getting a whole lot of "server busy" messages.

    I'ts been over the last few weeks and time of day doesn't seem to be a factor.

    Maybe your hosting company is putting too many sites on one server.

    I've been getting a stack load too, however its mostle around the 21:00BST mark...
    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

      I lease a separate server. The only things on here are four sites - all running this forum software. I had an alert from Iradney of a server busy message and I was already aware that the CPU was running twenty to the dozen.

      I can't find any VB scripts running at that time. I'm going to have to start asking other questions.

      If you see a server busy message, a post here would be appreciated for a time stamp.

      Cheers!

        Okay then, here you go for pattern helping:

        I just saw one 15 minutes ago, so that would be at 21:30 GMT. I usually see it every night around midnight, my time, so around 4AM GMT.

        I simply thought there was some database maintenance going on at didnight, and hence the cause of the problem. Which is why I didn't report it

          4am is when the server automatically searches for software updates. I doubt that would affect anything much, and we've just had a problem just now.

          I think we had one around noon yesterday as well. Can't be just that.

            Yesterday (09/06/08) around 3:45 CST US (9:45 PM GMT) - I was mid posting and got it for ten(?) minutes or so.

              I've been getting it a lot, lately, too.

              Raps, I'd LOVE to post a message when it happens, but I don't think I can, what with the server being too busy and all. I'll make sure to try next time, though.

              I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

              Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

                Well, as long as you post pretty much afterwards - that would be good

                  I occasionally get it; usually in the afternoons. I'll be sure to post something next time it happens.

                    It is usually in the evenings here (pacific time zone which is, I believe, -8), but not always.

                      Got a "server too busy" message at about 11:08 central time. Lasted for about 6 minutes.

                          New report: 4:04AM, GMT: Firefox could open connection, but sat there waiting for data from the site. This continued until 4:08AM GMT. At that point, "Server Busy" messages began, and continued until 4:22AM GMT.

                          Hope it helps a little bit.

                              Same as with Bandit but then I got into typing and don't know how long it lasted.
