For the last couple weeks at least I have been getting many "database error" messages. Won't let
me connect for anywhere between 2 and 10 minutes and then I have to re-login. Any idea what is
going on?

I just got the same thing about 20 minutes ago.. now it's ok (without relogging in).










muyongshi -

I had it again (I've lost count by now) for about 5 min over an hour ago and i was on of the first
to log back on because there was NO users online.

Server problem probably.

Yeah, I'm currently trying to clear my inbox of several thousand automated error reports, seems
like a server problem caused a bit of trouble. Hopefully back to normal now.

Muyongshi, are you getting any specific error message? Or just a generic 'database error'. If
there's anything specific can you email it to admin@ when it happens - it seems this happens to
you more often. I can see that there have been almost daily episodes of this, but it's normally
something like a minute at a time and it would be unusual for any one user to repeatedly come
across it. Plus it shouldn't require logging back in, hence I'm wondering if there's something
else at work (though I have no idea what )










muyongshi -

I am pretty sure that it is just a generic database error but I will check carefully if it happens
again (keeping my fingers crossed). In regards as it seems to happen to me more often...I think I
just get unlucky more often.










roddy -

Well, someone's got to be unlucky. Fortunately, it's not me

Sometimes database records can get mixed up and cause problems, but I've only seen it happen with
topics before, never a user so I doubt it's that Usage figures are up quite a bit (maybe 25% over
the last couple of months) so it's also possibly we're outgrowing the current hosting set up.

As for this particular episode, seems to be associated with a massive number of requests from
someone in the Ukraine. IP ban in place . . .










muyongshi -

Good. For a minute I was worried that I was doing it. You never know with this being Mianyang. All
the military set-up's, nuclear research, space program, and the like. Oh is that top secret?










muyongshi -

Just happened again and it is just a general error. The error reads as follows:

Database Error
The database has encountered a problem

Wonder if our Ukraine friend is back...










roddy -

Nobody worry about the five minute outage just then, I know exactly why it happened. Oh yes,
exactly why . . .
