I've made a few changes to try and stop this happening - had the hosting company up the number of
connections to the database we have, and also banned a few of the less friendly search engine
indexers (the kind that think it's amusing to download the entire site in five minutes and then
send us one visitor per year by way of a thank you).

I'm also going to be keeping a closer eye on the error reports now, but if you have any issues do
let me know - squeaky wheels get the oil, after all.

Great! So what are these search engines?? I think I want to try one out (j/k)

Myriam, first, please stop making posts and then deleting them. Secondly, the forum is working
perfectly.

"Database Error" just now.










roddy -

Consider yourself honored - we're averaging 20 a day on over 200,000 (edit: Have no idea where I
got that number from. Nearer 40,000 including bots) page views, not everyone is lucky enough to
see one . . .










muyongshi -

So I get most of the luck huh???










roddy -

Yep.

Number of database errors has dropped significantly since I made the changes mentioned above - I
haven't seen a single one. I get emailed reports, we're averaging 20 a day, all due to server
restarts. I do see timeouts now and then, but I seem to get those on a number of websites,
particularly international ones and I wouldn't be too worried unless I was getting consistent
reports from people closer to the server - ie, the US or UK (server is in Manchester).

Banned a few more IP ranges after a couple of hiccups this evening . . .










muyongshi -

I was wondering if more changes were coming after I got those hiccups...thanks roddy!

Do flag them up when you notice them, at least if it lasts more than a minute or two - although I
do get emails every time there's an error they get filtered into a 'don't need to read' folder and
I'm not necessarily checking that every day.

That said, when you do get a database error message, don't sit there pressing F5 - that ain't
helping
