Computer Hope Running Slow

I check new add-ons nightly

Here I was thinking I was a hardcore advocate of Firefox.

do you spend your whole day going through the Firefox archive?

I check new add-ons nightly

Sounds like something I used to do. That's what got me up to 70+ addons (most inactive)

Attempting to create a custom search index failed. However, was able to create a full search index. So right now the old search found on the bottom of every page for those of you who still use it now uses a index instead of querying the full database for each search.

If you're noticing bad search results on this engine let me know. Hopefully this will also speed the forums up a little more. Still report problems though if you're still encountering them.

Ugh, just got another some slow response, which I added to the first post. So obviously not the search queries that are causing this. Going to take the forums down tonight to run some additional maintenance. Will create a new post.

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Tried to open Unread Posts. It was at about 30 seconds when I clicked Home to report it and got the following message:


To be honest, this isn't the first time I've seen that.

Hey Broni, same catch.

EDIT: still running slow (11:30 - 11:46)

Yeah got the same thing. Seemed to happen when I was logging into the MySQL server, which is real strange. But the MySQL server is still trying to load the login page? I swear it's got to be something up with the server.

However, I'm going to put in a support request with SMF to see if they have recommendations and also contact ISP again. Although at this time of night I'd imagine no MySQL admin is available so will probably have to wait until tomorrow for further troubleshooting on the server end.

Thanks again for status updates.

[Computer Hope Admin]

Got a hold of the ISP support agent had been noticing that the MySQL was getting hit with something. So something is up with server. They're looking into it now and if can't get it properly up again will be getting admin to check it out.

[Broni]

That's good. Maybe with all these reports in this thread, we can get somewhere.

still running slow

Normally, here, pages load in 1-2 sec, right now, it takes 5-10 sec

[Computer Hope Admin]

Agreed. And right now there should be no excuse because the forums are slow at this moment.

MySQL server up and running however does not appear to have resolved the issue. SMF request has been made we'll see if anything happens on it.
