Problem accessing the site

[John83]

Any problems? Foot.ie's been running on a new - like shiny, out of a box like - server for a few days now.

A blip there as I was loading the page. Everything seemed down for about 30 seconds. That's it so far.

That's just me restarting the server after switching back on the redirect from www.foot.ie to foot.ie.

Seems to me like the crap filter has been off since the upgrade. At least I'm noticing more of it recently

Running slow tonight. Got a 'Database Error' message earlier too.

[dahamsta]

It was slow earlier because I was tuning the database after setting up replication with another server; which also meant I had to take it offline for a little while. It shouldn't be slow now though.

I got a Database Error message while trying to log on earlier. Just to let you know.

Me too, round about half 8 or 9?

Entirely off-topic but the opportunity presented itself so I said I'd let ye in on a bizarre happening on footie last night at about half two or so. There were maybe ten members and about 100 guests, typical traffic for the time of day, online at the time, with, wait for it, a frankly staggering 37, yes 37, of those people viewing the Football Feeds segment of the site. By far the most I've ever seen to view that area. Mad altogether. I had a look to see what was going on, thinking maybe a Q&A with Stan or something, but no, very little of interest at all. Perhaps some gremlin or other but regardless it was probably the highlight of my day to see such an oddity.

The database server died earlier for reason best known only to itself. No idea what happened there.

It was probably googlebots

It was probably googlebots

That post/notion scares me for some reason.


Thanks for the explanation all the same. I suppose a little fright in the morning is no bad thing, wake me up a bit.

[dahamsta]

It wouldn't've been googlebots, as they're prevented from showing up in the results, but it would have been another search engine vB doesn't know about.
