Thread: Site going down many, many, many times a day.

I am glad to see that it is not just me. I've had server errors where it returns a blank page. I've had database not found errors, I've had the browser give up because it does not get a response from the server. During all these internet access to other sites is fast and reliable. So it is not my system.

These outages last for 5 to 30 minutes. Sometimes longer. I have had them at all times of day. Did not notice a pattern. Just seems to happen when I have the time to check for activity on SRP.

Down twice in the last hour. Once at 10:26 PM EDST and again at 11:16P EDST.

Back up pretty quickly both times, but still....

Has been very sluggish for the last hour or so. Maybe longer.
Pages take minutes to load. If they load.

ETA:
In fact, when I tried to submit this, the database was down.
It almost seems like it's gotten worse since Vlad posted his original message.

I never could get logged in on Friday. And I tried both from home and work. Finally got in just before midnight Friday night.

It was out from around 8 p.m. until around 2 a.m. Eastern on the 16th/17th. Every time I tried to bring the page up nothing would happen, then it would say it couldn't connect to the server or something. Seems to be happening at least every other day to me, and sometimes every day.

Ok, a few hints, any traceroute done whilst the site has problems will lead you to a bottleneck at savvis.net in Fort Worth, Texas.

Another interesting thing is that the "error" given by explorer when the site is not popping up (as in bottom left yellow triangle) is: error code 5: ACCESS DENIED

Oh, and from here the reachability of the site is about 3%, for every 3 pages read it is blank for the next few hours.

Good luck on this.

This is the first time I have been able to get onto the site since Thursday afternoon. I tried again at 9:30 PM CDT thursday the 15th and every time I have tried to get back on the site until Saturday at 6:30 AM the site has been down.
