Jnerocorp Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hello, I was just on the site and then the site was suddenly down so i tried pinging it and it was down for about 5 - 8 minutes. Just curious of what caused it to go down -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 [daniel@phpfreaks ~]$ uptime 11:09:38 up 50 days, 17:49, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.13, 0.09 Not our server at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I still have problems every few hours, on the hour for a couple of minutes where it times out. Maybe its just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 As far as I know everyone has problems once an hour for about 2 minutes (xx:00 to about xx:02 for me). I think that's when the server does MySQL dumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 We aren't running hourly backups on this server. That's being done on another server. This one only does daily backups at midnight server time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundyxc Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I sometimes get issues with this site, but downforeveryoneorjustme.com says it's up: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/phpfreaks.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 We aren't running hourly backups on this server. That's being done on another server. This one only does daily backups at midnight server time. Is there something else running on the hour then? I too have access problems fairly regularly on the hour...

Daniel0 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 The search index is being rotated, but that operation takes less than a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hrmm, I could've sworn at some point that SQL dumps were being done hourly because I remember thinking every hour was excessive. Guess that's changed or something then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I've some some overall optimization today. Using SMF's "page generated" time on the bottom of the page, it seems like most of the pages generates in less than 0.1 seconds and many pages generates in less than 0.05 seconds. That should be sufficiently fast. I'm still not sure why people would get hourly lags. I can't say I experience this, and I know that there is no intensive tasks run hourly.

corbin Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hrmmm, it hasn't happened it in a while, but I don't know for sure if I've been around at xx:00 in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just wanted to add that I too get hangs on the hour. Something must be going on. Does our host back vps's hourly? This could be an issue because they need to be suspended (should only be a few seconds) during the back process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Actually last night I noticed a lot of lags from about 7 till 7:07 (GMT). I thought it was my connection at first but other pages worked no problem. Seemed to be the during loads the pages were taking either really long to load, or started loading, say the header and nav, then paused for a while and then finally finished. There also seemed to be spikes, like for a few seconds it'd work fine but then slowed right down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I think there was network problems yesterday. It dropped a lot of my packets, so it couldn't have been server load problems. I wasn't able to SSH to the server either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I also agree that I've seen the "on the hour lags" as well. Dan, you know the server jobs and setups better than me... if you say you don't have anything setup, maybe Eric does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 There is nothing running on the hour on neither the hardware host node nor the PHP Freaks VPS. I'll try to see if I can spot something on top some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
