Chode Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 In the past week I've been having a lot of problems accessing Neowin. I know it's meant to slow down during a back up, but unless the backup's take up 16 hours a day then something else is up. Most of my requests to the page just time out. Frustration occurs if my post didn't even send. And it isn't network problems from my end. It was timing out on my brother's broadband connection. I don't like having a whinge often, but thought that I better bring this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerster Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I'm having the same problem guys. Anyone at the Neowin headquarters know what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadishTM Veteran Posted April 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 14, 2004 It's not our own server us as far as we know - since the loads are below 1, so it is probably a routing problem with "The Planet". Radish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivand Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 yeah, its really annoying now, even the images dont load, and sometimes it comes up with page cannot be displayed.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 14, 2004 I know it's hard, but try not to complain guys. They guys who actually upkeep the site are getting just as upset as you. Let's show them some confidence and wish them well while they volunteer their time to fix it for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted April 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 14, 2004 It's not our own server us as far as we know - since the loads are below 1, so it is probably a routing problem with "The Planet".Radish? Actually all my servers have been fine. They're with ThePlanet, and we haven't had any problems today. This is a server-level issue. Voodoo had mentioned something from a tech at TP about apf (the firewall software), but didn't give me enough details to figure out what the exact problem was. My guess is it's still relating to that. Unfortunately, the admins are all probably asleep right now, so it probably won't get fixed for at least a few more hours.

Danrarbc Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 My problem is with loading pages themselves, all the images are cached on my end so they're fine. Only about 1 in 10 attempts at viewing a page work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmak Administrators Posted April 14, 2004 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2004 It's not apf (it is installed but not enabled). The Planet techs are working on the problem at hand. The problem atm is related to the fact that Apaches maxclients has been reduced to 260 and keepalive is set to Off. This means 'document contains no data' or really slow responses since you guys use way more than 260 apache processes. You're basically locked out of the server when the 260 limit is reached. I increased maxclients a bit but I really don't want to mess with their settings (they may be testing or something) We're still experiencing iowait problems even after the linux kernel upgrade a few weeks ago (it's better than before but not gone). This is probably the cause of all your problems. It's a never ending story, I know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
