it's one thing to have a slow connection as it would the case if it was something related to KPNQuest and another in this case.

in this case it is an issue of the server not being able to handle all the requests, e.g. a hardware(cpu, ram) upgrade is needed

Probably not a server issue. I say do lots of tracerts and make them prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the problem is on the server.

Very sill to assume that the server is at fault even if that is the most likely cause. Need to make people do tracerts.

Judging by the other posters, it seems it's happening every day!!

So, this morning it worked, then all the afternoon it was out of order, and now the evening it works again!

please trust me when i say that the specific message comes up ONLY when the cpu load is high
again, nothing to do with the connection, nothing to prove with doing traceroutes

hi ,

Mark , would this be because your experience with the old server from apolyton , ....

BTW , what are we talking about when we say server CPU , from them that is , a cheap ready over the shelf or so , .... , a company like that could do better , way more , .....

maybe its because there stock went down , and now all the stockholders want to see what is going on , ......

anyway , Mark they should look at this one , this one is good

have a nice day

[MarkG]

of course it's nothing for them to get a better server.

but often companies dont act so fast. can you imagine the bureucracy of the tech department having to ask for a new server, justifying it's purchase, etc?

there is also the example that there have been times where we posted a patch before the official site cause it was late or it was friday evening and the webmaster for that particular site had gone home

Word from the Infogrames forum admin is that they do have simultaneous user access issues. Mainly (my opinion based on what he said), that there's only one user database and thus the load in terms of simultaneous users doesn't scale well, despite the database machine being fairly hefty (dual 1.7Ghz processors, 1GB ram).

Part of that stems from the fact that it's running MySQL -- it's not particularly well-suited to this volume of traffic because it can't handle very many simultaneous accesses efficiently. I think Postgresql might work out better, but I'm not going to assume hasn't already tried it, either. Those may be his only practical options given that those are the only popular/free DBMSs out there....

Hah! I got a "server too busy try again later" from Apolyton just yesterday morning (Mon 10th)!

[MarkG]

dual 1.7Ghz processors, 1GB ram

well, except from a cpu less we have a similar system

[Apocalypse]

I just got a "server too busy try again later."

Is this because of the new stats?

[MarkG]

dont think so

[Apocalypse]

That's good.

Markie, I was just being sarcastic. I can remember when Dan was very reluctant to fiund the server at fault. (Asked for tracerts and other troubleshooting, when it was pretty obvious the server was the issue...when multiple users all over the World see a problem...and its only with one site...the issue is not in the net.)
