Server Busy

[Ralle]

Hello guys
I am sorry that the server has been so busy the last two days.

I don't understand what makes it so busy but I have done what I can to fix it but it is not enough. I am waiting for a friend to take a look to see if there are any performance fixes that will help us.

 

[Deolrin]

Oh, thanks Ralle.

 

[Mulgrim]

is this the first time it's happened with this frequency?

 

[Vengeancekael]

lets hope it will get fixed

Again I have to say that this "busy problem" is gone for some hours now ( I think I'm not the only one without problems )

You do always your best for hive <-- thanks and greetings to your friend

Do a virus scan and a defrag

 

[ap0calypse]

I just had it a few hours ago (a really bad case: it got stuck every 5 to 10 minutes), but it's working fine right now...
Well, I don't know, the hive might just be a bit less active right now xD

 

[X-OMG-X]

I havent got the message today. So i think its getting better.

 

[Panda]

Thanks Ralle for everything your doing.

 

[RaijinSpark]

i miss those 5-8 long messages that i didn't posted just because of this..

we really need a drafting system but.. oh well. it's fixed.

lol.
110% sure the server is running Linux, not Windows.

 

[Solecompanysole]

After the 100th time i thought it something wrong

Great that you've fixed this problem (even if you fixed it just a little), it was really annoying... hey, maybe its just becauce of Hive is getting bigger and your server can't keep it all?

Hmm I don't know if that could help - but I think you should totally clear the forum. Specially the "Warcraft III Modding" part. If you look there you have hundreds of Pages and so old posts that no one need anymore.

Another couple of pages are full of posts that you can't view anymore. Maybe someone should start to clear them - I think if this done the server will be more stable. Also I don't think those server problems comes up if there are hundreds of members ^^

( Also I know you can't do the clearing stuff alone - but maybe you can ask friends of yours or ask some dudes on hive - I think some got skills with this ^^ )

Ralle, it just happened again about a minute ago!

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Now it's coming back again. Yesterday it was almost gone, but now it's so intense it makes it nearly impossible to moderate spells.
Hope you'll get it fixed soon ^^

 

[ap0calypse]

I'm not having it right now *preparing for the worst*.

 

[Tleno]

Great... now it happened again... its really weird and annoying...

and after that again...

 

[Vengeancekael]

Nice! I was writing a comment when this happened:/

 

[BlargHonk]

lol.

A. His desktop uses Windows, Virus could be taking bandwidth
B. Linux still needs fragging sometimes
C. That is a statistical impossibility

 

[thelifelessone]

lol.

Guys, there's probably just too many people on at a time.
Hive is huge. It makes sense that you could have a too busy server. I don't know about all you, but THW is incredibly slow for me.
And I have good internet.

It's not slow for me, and I got poor intarwebz. The only problem is the "server is too busy" messages.

 

[Tleno]

yeah, and those are not realted to your internet, only to Ralle's server...

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh my god, it just happened again!:/

Deleting those will only free up a bit of hard drive space, which isn't the problem. vBulletin does this "server is too busy" stuff when the server's under heavy load. Meaning its processor is busy.

A. His desktop uses Windows, Virus could be taking bandwidth
B. Linux still needs fragging sometimes
C. That is a statistical impossibility

A) It's not a bandwith problem, it's a problem with something taking up processor resources on the server. If it was just bandwidth then the hive would load slowly but there wouldn't be any busy messages
B) Most likely not a defrag problem since this only started happening recently. If it was a defrag problem it would've been getting gradually worse over a long time period
C) No u

There's no more users on these days than there were a month ago, and the server was just fine then. :\

 

[thelifelessone]

Then you could be being hacked.
It's possible that someone is hacking and using up all your resources.

 

[Samuraid]

The server is indeed running Linux.
It is unlikely that the filesystem is notably affected by fragmentation, especially since the database resides on a separate partition than the rest of the site data.
Also, a few significant problems are now resolved, so hopefully performance will improve.

 

[Phoonix]

ugh people stop posting IT happened again! every time it happens that will turn this in to a "It happened again!" Spam fest. just be patient and let Ralle do his Job as he always does so very good.

 

[Vengeancekael]

omg, Samuraid, you're still alive?!O_O cool

 

[thelifelessone]

Nice.

 

[Rui]

The «server is busy» messages have ceased for now, good job!

Nice to see you around, Samuraid.

 

[HorniePanda]

wow..

Lol just reading all of your comments.. very nerdy to me..

 

[Vengeancekael]

Yup, the messages are all gone now

 

[Tleno]

I'm sure you can close this thread now, Ralle. There are no problems with Hive for a long enough time to say that problem is solved. And I'm sure there will be no more problems like that for a long time...
