WTF????

Postby spyder_xlch » Thu Mar 06, 2008 3:25 pm

Ok, sometimes when I try to get here I get the page not displayed message. Then when I do finally get here I have to log in. I never have to log in usually, the only time I have to log in is when I get the page not displayed message. So then when I log back in the new messagesd aren't displayed as new messages. It's almost like someone has been logged into my account. Nothing gets changed or anything. Any body else have this problem?

I think it has something to do with the host computer being reset. Sometimes the whole host computer goes down and the hosting company resets it. Maybe that changes some bit somewhere so that your log-in cookies aren't recognized. It happens to me too.

I just wish it wouldn't lose the new messages. Well, it doesn't lose them but they don't show as new. Then I gotta remember about what time I was on last and look at the post times.

It has been very hard to get here lately at night, keeps timing out and says the server may be down.

Well, have a colocated server costs around $200 per month. Shared hosting is the solution for 95% of all websites. I don't think we're busy enough to warrant colocating a server and I doubt that someone would want to pick up the tab every month for that. I know that right now it isn't in the cards for me, anyway.

As for the server being rebooted it's actually a 'good' thing. The techs are noticing that someone is hammering the cpu (basically, hogging resources) and they are rebooting the server to kill the script. Depending on the speed of the box's processor and how many sites are running it can take quite awhile to reboot.

The reason that the messages aren't being marked as new is that the server purges the temporary tables and the sessions are stored for the most part in temp tables.

<<The techs are noticing that someone is hammering the cpu>>

I ran a quake 2 server for 4 years. I would get them Aholes that would get upset with the players that was on the server and try to crash or hack it. I would always end up banding that IP addy from the server.Dedicated gaming servers are very CPU intensive anyways
I'm not saying someone here is trying to do that. this server got many sites on it. I just never did understane why someone would do that.

This host probably isn't running a gaming server. More than likely there's a user that is sucking resources by sending spam. That's just the way shared hosting works.

This host seems to be pretty good overall.

Steve,
Your problem is congestion. No doubt about that.
