Database Errors

[rbryan4]

Yesterday and again this morning the forum has returned blank pages saying there's a Database Error. Only had it once this morning, but yesterday it happened for about 30 minutes.

No problem in the Pacific Northwest yesterday or today.

I had something funky like that happening yesterday too. All good today though, musta been a glitch somewhere down the pipe.

I get this occasionally; it has been happening a small fraction of the time for months. Sometimes I retry and get a proper page, other times I have to give up and try later in the day.

Probably caused by all those folks posting about Osoyoos.

Yes, I admit it. I'm jealous.

Like Brian, I get them occasionally. Usually just relaunching the page, or a different one first, clears it. Might be a timing thing with another user accessing the same page at the same instant.

Just happened again. It also happened on FGRV. On FGRV the first attempt resulted in a database error, then a second resulted in "couldn't connect to server". I've had this happen once a month or so, but its more frequent in the last two days.

I am also getting quite a few database and server errors the last few days.

I just got one when I tried to post the second set of pictures. I had to start over, but it was OK the second time.

I've only seen the "database error" message once.

Well then you should post more, Carl.

Well then you should post more, Carl.

I have seen the errors as well.
One likely explanation (IMO, with concurrence from my son the computer eng'r) is that the popularity of Escapes is causing a surge in use on the Escape and FGRV forums, and thus, a bandwidth problem.
Escapees just neeeeeeeed more server room.

How did you know my fix for everything? (throw more RAM, HDD and CPU at it)

I wonder what comes after 'terabytes'?

 

[Loren & Cathy]

Hmm, this database error thing is starting to happen a little more often. Twice just now before I was able to get on. Loren

Petabytes, Exabytes, Zettabytes. (well, you asked...)

Ah, Robert, Thanks. I don't wonder anymore.

I weird thing is, somebody has already sat around and thought these things up. I hope they were at least in their u-dinette in their 19, looking out the back window with their camera or phone, setting up the perfect "It's Friday" shot.
(How's that for staying on the forum topics!)
