Backup Site?

Logan · 03-15-2011, 08:45 AM

Whatever happened with that? Maybe we should get back on that. These last two days have sucked.

tyketime · 03-15-2011, 08:53 AM

OK - this confirms what I suspected. Over the past couple of days, I've gotten Database Error connection issues probably 5 or 6 times. And when I do connect, it's been painfully slow at times. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing that, or is it a problem with my connection?

Ksyrup · 03-15-2011, 08:54 AM

I've been having issues here for way longer than 2 days. I've gotten 3 or 4 database errors in the past 2 weeks, but in general, the delays in getting to the forum and into specific threads has grown more and more annoying. I almost posted something about it last week, but because of the earthquake/tsunami, figured it wasn't quite the right time to bitch about something so petty.

But yeah, this site is having some problems lately.

Mustang · 03-15-2011, 08:54 AM

Looks like my work picked a good week to shutoff internet access for everyone.

Ryan S · 03-15-2011, 09:04 AM

I have not noticed any downtime yet, but I suppose that is probably just luck.

Can somebody post the times this has been happening, and if it happens again, can you check to see if the Operation Sports site is available?

Logan · 03-15-2011, 09:08 AM

Yesterday it was down from about 6:15 to 8:15 Eastern time. And today it was down from maybe 8am eastern to just a few minutes ago, plus there was a point around 9am where I was able to get on for a minute but then the database error came back.

Like Ksyrup, I had a couple issues last week too but it was for a much, much briefer period of time...like see the error, reload and it was fine. Yesterday was the first time I experienced significant problems.

Ksyrup · 03-15-2011, 09:10 AM

I was getting a database error this morning about 2 hours or so ago.

In general, I get big-time delays when clicking links quite often and pretty much at any time of the day/night. It's not constant - right now links are opening fine - but I haven't noticed a rhyme or reason to it.

Ksyrup · 03-15-2011, 09:11 AM

And actually now that I post that, it took about 25-30 seconds for my post to register once I hit 'post quick reply.'

Icy · 03-15-2011, 09:46 AM

I also saw the database error both here and at OPS main site today.

Sweed · 03-15-2011, 09:47 AM

database error for me too yesterday morning going for about 2 hours somewhere around 6:30 am to 8:30 am central. Same database error this morning but not sure for how long as I wasn't online much.

Also like others had brief times where I got on and then back down or the main forum page came up but none of the links would open.

Took about thirty seconds for this reply box to come up after hitting the reply button.

And yes OS was down at the same time.

Noop · 03-15-2011, 10:23 AM

I must not come here enough to notice *shrug*

JediKooter · 03-15-2011, 10:33 AM

I haven't noticed any problems with this place in a while. Maybe it's time for some members to drain and flush their cache?

Is that code for one of those 14-day cleansing programs?

Lathum · 03-15-2011, 10:48 AM

I had problems this morning with databease errors.

13 posts in and no one mentions SportsDigs. We're slipping guys.

You do what you want with your own kooter.

I'd go for the 7 day programs. That way you're back and in the game a week sooner.

Alan T · 03-15-2011, 11:05 AM

It seems to primarily be a problem only in the mornings, possibly before most of you are even awake even. I'm assuming mostly east coasters or European board members would notice it.

The board this week has been virtually unusable between 8am and 9am though each day, and really slow just prior and after that time frame too.

I was personally wondering if Operation sports were doing server backups during that time or something.

Rizon · 03-15-2011, 11:08 AM

This site has been really slow for me lately*

*since I joined in 2004

Tasan · 03-15-2011, 11:35 AM

Interesting. I haven't had an issue with the site for quite some time(years). I wonder if its a routing issue. Any idea where, physically, the server is?

Not a routing issue in this case because it actually comes back with database errors and database timeouts. So the issues that I am at least seeing are between the board software and its backend database.

Glengoyne · 03-15-2011, 12:17 PM

Just had a database timeout error, about ten minutes ago.

JAG · 03-15-2011, 03:33 PM

I've experienced this the past couple mornings around the timeframe mentioned above, as late as 8:15am CST, then things are mostly fine after that. The main Operation Sports website and forum list was accessible both days when FOFC was down for me.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-16-2011, 08:51 AM

Same deal this morning, database error msgs from about 8a eastern until a few minutes ago. Been happening for the past few days but something a little different this morning, as the main page and/or forum sub-pages would load (i.e. I could see the list of posts) before the db error occurring when I would try to open a thread. Usually I just can't get in period.

fantom1979 · 03-16-2011, 09:20 AM

Site has been very slow for me (off and on) for the last couple of weeks. Have seen a couple of database errors. I just assumed that one of the mods was using the server as a seedbox.

muns · 03-16-2011, 09:22 AM

The slowness and not being able to get here is getting pretty annoying the past week or so

gstelmack · 03-16-2011, 09:49 AM

Same here, database errors last two mornings, slow loading otherwise.

DanGarion · 03-16-2011, 09:53 AM

Sometimes we talk on the FOFC Facebook page if the site is down.

Ben E Lou · 03-16-2011, 11:51 AM

I'm in touch with the O.S. staff to see what's going on.

Lathum · 03-16-2011, 11:38 PM

Just went down again for about 20 minutes. First time I recall it happening this time of night

Ksyrup · 03-16-2011, 11:52 PM

It was close to an hour for me. I posted in the AI thread and couldn't get back to the forum.

stevew · 03-17-2011, 12:03 AM

I posted at 1149 and then couldn't get in a few moments later.

Logan · 03-17-2011, 08:10 AM

It was down for me just before. Judging by the last post before this one, looks like from just after 8am eastern to 8:45.

edit: Tried posting it at 8:45, errors til it went thru at 9:10.

Logan · 03-17-2011, 09:13 AM

Oh and then it went dead for another hour.

Any update Ben?

Alan T · 03-17-2011, 09:20 AM

Yeah, was unreachable for me from 8am until 10:15am this morning

Sweed · 03-17-2011, 09:20 AM

Yeah, pretty much like clockwork every morning now.

I hope those average tech people don't check this thread, their feelings might be hurt that they were left out.

Or maybe that's all just upfront over there. You have your "best tech people", that's one paygrade, and then you have your "average tech people", they have smaller offices, and finally, the "bad tech people" - they handle stapler jams.

stevew · 03-17-2011, 11:03 AM

We are replacing the piss poor tech people who are currently attempting to fix the problem.

I think someone mentioned it earlier, but there is a facebook page for FOFC in case OS ever gets nuked.

Logan · 03-18-2011, 08:57 AM

Yep no issues today and like someone else mentioned, the speed seems to be back to normal.
