No, that times out as well.

I should say, in the interim I changed the registry setting to 10000, so nothing should really time out given it gets 10s to answer.

― much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

It's PF'ing as well, by the way. AND it's almost weekend (= two days of timeouts coming up)...

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Dunno tbh. I still think you've got ISP issues.

I'm going for a pint.

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Friday, 25 August 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to connect to nu-nu-ILX.

It's fucked right now, right?

I killed it with some bad crossword clues.

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Saturday, 26 August 2006 11:13 (seventeen years ago) link

i haven't had any trouble at all in the past few days

― trees (trees), Monday, 28 August 2006 03:54 (seventeen years ago) link

And this morning it's back like nothing happened...

― much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 28 August 2006 06:56 (seventeen years ago) link

and now i can't even get a poxy fule. just 'not found.' wtf

― trees (trees), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm back where I was yesterday.

― much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeh, that's odd. I'm getting not found too -- just like during the big outage, which was when Andrew turned it off temporarily.

― stet (stet), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

no pong from my ping, server is unreachable.

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope they haven't pulled the plug! Andrew said he was going to hear today, but that he thought we'd have until Sept 30th. Hmm.

― stet (stet), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Phew. It's back.

― StanM (StanM), Monday, 28 August 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Monday, 28 August 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep.

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 08:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Nope

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 12:47 (seventeen years ago) link

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Been working fine all day for me until about two minutes ago.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 13:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it all goes wrong when the hogbut- sorry, Chicagoans- get to work.

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 13:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm annoyed because it went down when I was just about to read what where the Top Funniest 500 Posts Ever.

It's back! Oh wait..

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

That Best Posts Ever thread stalled at 22 posts, and a lot of those are not even Best Posts, but just generalized discussion!

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Tuesday, 29 August 2006 14:21 (seventeen years ago) link

she's breaking up

You're poxy, I'm poxy, all god's chillun are poxy.

Meanwhile, we had a tenant on the back porch for three weeks:

Rebuilt the web every evening at dusk, took it down at dawn. I was careful not to mess with her, but she quit showing up about a week ago. About an inch long (just the body, not counting the legs).

eight.

STARSBUCK COFFEE

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

and now every bugger trying to find old threads to bump has killed it dead agane.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Any idea what's happened - I didn't get a chance to have a read through the relevant threads before it buggered off again.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I think with the recently publicity we've received it's just chock-a-block with users.

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

The new answers cache was deleted, I guess an attempt to unpoxy the fule by reducing server load?

― I Am Curious (George) (Slight Return) (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

How was the fap in Edinburgh? I wish I could have been at some of those Scottish ken faps.

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Ken, I know about that*, I meant recently, like in the last couple of hours with all the new answers gone.

(xpost)

*though I still struggle to believe that one article in the Observer Music Monthly has crashed this for weeks on end.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:43 (seventeen years ago) link

You should come over for a double ken-fap! It was small but perfectly formed and very pleasant indeed. Drinks, football-watching, Thai food and Belle and Sebastian. Pretty much a perfect day out, really.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost:
Sorry, Ailsa, I just wanted to say that because once we were in Edinburgh in August and we managed to find a hotel for one night and the guy told us possibly maybe he could let us have a room the next night if the Great Northern Railway rep didn't need it. Well, that didn't work out so he said he would try to help us find another room, but when we came down to breakfast he said: "I've called round, but Edinburgh's just chock-a-block with the Festival!"

― Ruud Haarvest (KenL), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

The search function can kill the whole thing with just one user. When the cache got corrupted, loads of people started searching to try and bump old threads.

For some reason there's no timeout set on searches, so the server will continue with the very, very slow search until it's done. While it's searching, nothing else can access it. Hmph.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 17:56 (seventeen years ago) link

People should've revived threads via New Questions.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 30 August 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeh, it was the ancient threads that did it, I think.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 18:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Point the search link to Google.

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 19:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Until nu_ILX code is sorted, that is. One less overhead to worry about.

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

The quickest fix could well be to put a timeout on SQL queries. But I don't know how many people have server access these days to do that.

― bohren un der club of gear, Wednesday, 30 August 2006 19:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Well. that was good for about five minutes. Is it just the search function that knackers it, or does random, viewing expanded categories etc do it as well?

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Opening the categories page is another big hit, but by far the worst culprit is doing a search.

― stet (stet), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Can we stick something on the new answers pages of ILX telling people to cool it with the search function?
