Instead they are more likely to be temporary server issues, which can not be predicted, and which are always fixed ASAP. | |||||

Failing that we'll get more disk space, but to be honest the log files are a waste of space once they're a few days old so if I can just get them removed automatically then we won't have to worry about spending any extra on the server. | |||||

I tried to get the DMs there to move here.. but he went to another site, and restarted , his portion of the game. I go there just to check posts.. the Dice roller is connected to the posts..so...everyone sees the Dice rolls in yuou post, unless you poot in a thread made for dice rolls?.. The site is slow when getting there and changing pages.. I love the game..hate the site, turned down 4 offers to join other games, because I have flash backs of the old site there. I have mentioned before, in all my many, many years of gaming, this is the best site I have been a Member of. The Admins here keep the goofballs from ruining the site, JAse and whomever else helps keep this place running does a great job, which is why I don't mine tossing a few dollars into the pot now and then! | |||||

Warrax member, 202 posts Fri 26 Apr 2019 at 15:17 |
Really? That's a little odd and separate from what I and my various RPOL folks got. I suppose the gribbly particulars might have led to it, and if your session expired, then you wouldn't have been able to log back in. In case we got switched up, I didn't mean that I was able to log in once the problems started, I meant that I was already logged in and it just continued showing me my games list whenever I reloaded the main page. Clicking anything on the page gave me a 404 except for like a 120-second span in the middle of the night. | |||||

See, there's the problem. You went outside and the server felt sad. :) More seriously, a 500 error seems to mean that the server doesn't know what's going on either. Basically it means, "There's something wrong, but I can't be more specific." | |||||

I noticed some pages taking 8-10 seconds to load yesterday which in this instance was more helpful than pure error messages. I believe I've tracked it down to SQL performance issues as everything came good after I restarted the database server. I'll continue to keep an eye on it in the hope I can see the bottleneck starting to reduce performance again. Unfortunately after the restart everything came good so I currently can't track down where the bottleneck was. I did change a few performance settings, one was to change the database wait time from 28800 seconds (8 hours!) to 30 seconds. That might lead to a slightly more helpful error message if the issue rears its ugly head again. | |||||
