Intermittent server problems

bfeist · April 03, 2014, 10:21:09 PM

No, your computer isn't broken. Our server has been throwing errors for the past few days. I've been working with our hosting company and they're trying to get to the bottom of it. You can see their status on the investigation here http://www.arvixe.com/alerts?key=60294-1079

Thanks for keeping us informed Ben. And for chasing the problem - we know you'll do everything you can.

Where would we be without you?

Just fixed a great big SQL error. I'll follow up on this new server instability. Nothing's ever easy

Please do not think this is a complaint.

I have been having repeated troubles with loading the page and accessing "general discussion" for example. I have found I can click the link and go to a new posted topic in the header but not the particular forum from the main page. Then if I go to the broken down index for example (club forum, general discussion, intermittent server problems) index on the page I can go to the general discussion area. Sorry just trying to give some insight.

Thanks Ben for all you do! If there was anything I was disappointed in it was that you weren't at the field today!

Hi Ed, not a problem.
I'm not quite clear on what you click in what order to make the problem occur. Can you clarify? Also, is this on mobile or desktop?

Thanks,
Ben

I was having a lot of trouble the past few days, but things are working just great today!

Sadly, I must report that I've had problems today.

Just the message that the server is unavailable and not being able to get on the site.

I've had that happen as well. The issues seem to be quite random.

I just thought it was the NSA.

NSA operative.... we are not watching you

Looking for drones? Or is this SkyNet?

Enough is enough. Sorry for all of this down-time.
I'm putting my foot down with this ISP. I may need to find a new home for all of my websites (including this one). What a pain.

The site will be moving to a new server this evening. Expect down time until the move is complete.

I've been unable to post while using Explorer today, but it's working REASONABLY well in Chrome...although it does take a couple of attempts to load the next page.

Server change still hasn't been conducted. The current server has undergone repairs. I'm holding off on moving to an unknown destination until I can determine whether the repairs have had any lasting effect on our current environment.

bfeist · May 01, 2014, 06:52:44 PM

Alright, it's finally going to happen. Expect some site weirdness tonight while we move the site to a new server.

bfeist · May 01, 2014, 08:58:57 PM

Server migration is complete! Hopefully we'll be in better hands now.
