Ok, this should be fixed now. We were looking through the Apache error log and discovered that Apache was choking on the size of the DOMLOGs. We cleaned them out and restarted the web server. It should be good to go now.

Tom

How is the site working now?

Tom

I just made a tweak to the backend MySQL server and to me, it seems noticeably faster. How about you guys?

Tom

Is there any specific times that this is happening? Like 2 AM Eastern Time? Remember, backups occur at that time.

Tom

Hmm...I Googled this and there seems to be a small bug with the geshi.php module. EDIT! Workaround found! Find the lines that looks like this... [php]$geshi = new GeSHi( $text, $lang, dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/geshi/geshi' ); if ($lines == 'true') { $geshi->enable_line_numbers( GESHI_NORMAL_LINE_NUMBE...

If there was a way to mod your message up, BFSWill, I would. I agree. Take it outside!

From what I understand (someone please take the liberty of correcting me if I'm wrong) Rochen Hosting (several of the core Joomla developers are members of this company) You are partially right there The Saint. Brad is the only one of the Rochen employees that is part of the Joomla Core Dev T...

Tom

Glad to hear that. :whew:

Tom

How has performance of the sites been these past two days?

Tom

The "Google storm" seemed to have passed, but I am still making it so that Google can't crawl this site. It can crawl the other sites, like the main site, developers, and the extensions site, but not the forums. There is just too much data to collect and would cause this issue to crop up...

Tom

I have converted a table in the database that should help increase the performance of the forum, especially when posting new messages.

Tom

We mainly think it is due to Google's "deep crawl". Once that is done, things should lighten up. This site isn't the only site that is having issues with Google, other sites are complaining too. There are multiple posts all over the blogsphere ranting about how Google's crawling is takin...

Tom

It should be ok now.

Please note that this server is processing somewhere around 1500 requests with around 75 requests a second, a lot more than it has in the past. Already it has used 4 GB of system RAM and is using 1.9 GB of swap.

Tom

When was this? I am not seeing any issues right now.

Tom

In about half an hour, the server will be going down for server maintenance.

Tom

I just rebooted the server. There were several processes that were dead but still drinking system RAM.

Tom

I am not sure about that, you would have to take that up with Brad. I represent Rochen here, that is all. Brad is the one that "holds to the keys" to this forum.

Tom

It seems that there is an abnormally high amount of traffic that has been hitting the server lately. Normally, Apache doesn't ever reach more than 250 simultaneous connections, but recently it has been reaching as high as 650.

Tom

There is a row of buttons below each thread when you load it, it has

Reply, Notify of replies, Mark unread, Send this topic, Print

Notify of replies is what you want.

Tom

Normally, if databases become damaged, we run a Database Repair on it. You can do this by running this query on the database table in question. REPAIR TABLE (table_name); You can run this from PHPMyAdmin if you aren't comfortable with using the command line. If your server is running CPa...

Tom

On your own server or this server?

Tom

Seems that the ugly

[Tue Nov 29 10:28:34 2005] [error] [client 66.249.71.1] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

errors came back. Because of this, the loads shot up.

Tom

A couple of suggestions stated that converting certain key tables to InnoDB would speed a few things up.

Tom

The tweaks have been applied to MySQL as per some suggestions at the SMF site. Already I have seen a dramatic improvement in performance.

Tom

Some of the tweaks to the databases have already been applied, you should be seeing a dramatic improvement.

Tom

I will be doing some database maintenance later on this evening, but I will put the forum into offline mode while I do the work.

Tom

I have an idea about a possible fix for that, but I will have to do some more research into it.

Tom

We are hoping that with the couple of tweaks that we have applied, this will be a non-issue. There were some issues with Apache, but we think we have nailed them. It had to do with some bad Mod_Rewrite Rules. We have upgraded the server's hardware from 1 GB of RAM to 2 GB of RAM. Because...

Tom

How are things now?

Tom

We are currrently looking into the reason why the server is responding slowly or not at all. At this point, we are suspecting a DoS attack.
