Socoder -> Off Topic -> ''Server Busy''

I just got your ’’server is busy’’ message. Funny

I'm getting this at least two or three times a day since the site update.

Only had it once. Strange.

Maybe I visit more often than you do?

Probably. I've not visited much during the day due to being on nights recently.

Dunno.

Still trying to track this down.
Worryingly. It might be to do with the hourly/daily email digest. I might need to look into alternative email methods, rather than the bog standard type I'm doing.

A quick fix I use in my PHP scripts is to just sleep the script for a second or two between each email, helps prevent any server stuffs being clogged up.

Just in-case it is that of course.

It's just happened again - site was showing the error message between 22:00 and 22:02. Any behind-the-scenes trickery set to run at 10pm?

Nope, and yet it still seems to struggle on the hour.
I might try a server reboot, tomorrow, but I'm unsure how long the cycle takes, so if the site's out for a while... that'll be why!!

I got one earlier today. So that's twice I've seen it since the new update/upgrade..

To be honest, it isn't "really" needed.
The only reason it barely ever showed on the old site was because I did my maths wrong, and it was a 100 second timeout, instead of 10!!

I could turn it off, and you'd be waiting exactly the same amount of time for the page to load, since, by the time the message appears, the main part of page has already mostly done.

What it does do, however, is cut off the script before it reaches the sidebar, since the sidebar usually takes twice as long to do as the main page.
If you could deal with the sidebar not loading, I could make it do that...

...?

For future reference : Server reboot take about 5 minutes in all, from triggering the reboot, to when the site's reachable again.

I've expanded the timeout from 10 seconds to 120 seconds. Realistically, if the page takes 2 minutes to pop up, you'll have refreshed it!! (Or, I would hope you would!)

If the page takes more than 20 seconds to render, it gives up trying to do the sidebars, since those are the parts of the site that tend to take the longest time to render. The page should (!?) still work just fine.

Is it connected that I've had quite a few occasions in recent months when chrome has said the site is unreachable? It happened on the old site too.

Couldn't honestly tell you, I'm afraid.
I have no way to tell.

I'm now only really seeing Server-Load peaks first thing in the morning.
When I first visit the site each day, it triggers a bunch of SQL Backups and things, so the server stutters a little whilst doing it.
But other than that, the Server-Load page doesn't seem to be showing too many glitches.

Is anyone experiencing any issues beyond what that's telling me about?!
