Whenever I get timed out, I figure that's God's way of telling me to go do something useful
Think of this like an old analog dial radio. You turn the dial one way, then back the other to find that sweet spot that gives you the best performance. The last round of tweaks from overnight had the system absolutely hammered. So...turned things back today and things are closer to normal. TM and I are working on this pretty solid, so if you get a timeout or server busy error here and there-please be patient.

Well... we're getting there...

In the immortal words of Monty Python, "I'm getting better! No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment!"
That's kinda been the experience on this so far. Where we've tuned things it appears that it has in fact made it run better. This load spike issue seems to be getting less frequent, but it's still there.

Howdy,
We are aware of the "Server Busy" messages and of the site simply not responding at all. We're working on tracking down the cause. We're sorry for the interruption of your addiction. For the latest info on what is happening, find the end of this thread

After last night I had over 1000 emails sitting in my inbox letting me know the site was not responding... hehe.
I don't know if this means anything or is helpful but I had no access at all from 4:30 am till near noon yesterday. One brief time I did (later morning) I noticed other posts from throughout the am. I posted once then no access again. Denied!We are already doing much of what Red suggested regarding logging stuff and monitoring processes. Squeak, we pretty much know when every outage occurs.

So access was random? It was slow loading all afternoon and last night I didn't even bother. (too slow to load)
No, I'm not addicted but I had two PM's waiting for me.
Just FYI
I'll post up to let you know when the site will be down for the copying of files.
Great news! Will your server be dedicated to TWT Forum? Are you planning to lease out any of this new server's capacity?The new server is in. It got to Wczimmerman's home last Tuesday. He's getting it set up. Then we'll get it up to the data center in Dallas. If all goes well, there will be a very short down time while I move all the files over to the new server. Once we bring the new server on line, we won't be changing IP addresses like last time. So you won't have all the issues with twtex.com pointing to the old site for some people and to the new site for others. It should be an instantaneous switch I'll post up to let you know when the site will be down for the copying of files.
Will you two be coming up to Dallas to do this? We could have a little get-together & go eat or something...
I also offer my services for keeping Wizzerman under control...

Just curious as to why you are having to locate your server in a data center and not your home? My suspicion is that any problems we were having (not having any now) could have been with the data center or somebody was playing with software or config files either accidentally or deliberately.
What is the name of the data center you are using?
