With a planned server update on Saturday Morning from 1am to 1:30am there will probably be downtime. During this time I recommend not posting.

A complete backup will be made an hour prior to the upgrade.
The site and forum will be monitored after the upgrade to ensure everythig is running smoothly.

Fantastic! I can finally get some sleep!

I assume that's AEDT?

Cheers,

Yes - Aus EST (GMT +11) which means less than an hour from now!

Cheers

The update has been complete. Thank you for you patience.

I get the feeling that everything is running much faster. Anyone else agree or disagree.

Cheers

I agree - it's moving faster now.

Cheers,

But I am moving slower. :oops:

It seems to have gone back to frequent load time errors. I've been getting a lot of these since the update the other night.

Cheers,
Graeme

by **AUbicycles** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 6:45 am

timeouts?
Any error messages?

Cheers

by **Kalgrm** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 10:56 am

No, just a failure to connect error. If nobody else is reporting it, it might be at my end ...

Cheers,
Graeme

I also encountered a number of intermittent time-outs this morning. Seemed to be back to normal now.

by **CoffsGal** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 11:50 am

A few instances yesterday and today for me too, where the page declined to load.

One where I clicked the preview button on a post, which then failed to load with the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' message. Using the back button meant the post was lost...

Well, the problem is persisting. Intermittent failure of page loading.

G'day

I was experiencing the same issues yesterday and Saturday. Only been on a short time today so not sure if the problem has been resolved or not.

Spoke too soon. Got a gateway error trying to make the previous post.

It would be great if you can let me know what error messages are being displayed - if it is inside the browser, copy paste - if it is a popup, let me know that and include the error message.

Feel free to also email me [email protected]

The more exact the information I have, the better I can follow this up with the host and track down the problem. Thanks for your patience.

Hi,
I am doing a bit of research and looking into this with my programmers.
When these errors occur - are you then logged out of the site and have to log in again? For us it would suggest that there is a problem with the sessions.

Cheers
Christopher

Can't remember if I've had these errors, but I may have just tuned them out as due to my connection. However, don't know if it's realted to this, my computer's on 24/7 and signed in the BNA, but sometimes I get back, refresh BNA, and I'm not logged in?

Don't think I am being logged out...have been active when the situation occurs.

In IE7, I don't have 'Show friendly error messages' turned on, but there is still no uselful error information provided.

The site just seems very slow at times tonight. The statusbar message says 'Waiting for...' and then after a while 'Website found' and then the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' page.

Just seems like the server is unavailable at times...then it comes good and is functioning as usual.

Is the BNA domain getting it's fair share of server resources?...or is the server rebooting often?

by **AUbicycles** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 10:47 pm

Hi, Thank you for the (email) screenshot and feedback.

I am onto this and will let you know of the progress.

Cheers
Christopher

by **CoffsGal** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 8:58 am

'Website found...waitng for reply'...'IE is unable to display etc'...Just occured again...9:50am EDT if you want to check logs etc...

by **Kalgrm** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 9:01 am

Same sort of error for me at the same time too.

by **Mulger bill** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 2:35 pm

Every now and then down this way too. Usually useless for 3 odd minutes at a time. Refresh doesn't help, only the back button or from the history pane. I stay logged in.

Yeah happening to me too. 2 different things happened, once I got connection refused, the other time the connection timed out. Could be a number of things, but I'd check your apache logs first, make sure you're not hitting the MaxClient limit or something like that.
