Open fromthe main site.

I use the 2nd option. I used to use the main page, but then always opened it into the 2nd page on its own window, wider view, more to see was the reason...

Ed

Me too, I always use forum.luger forum to get here, that black toolbar on the left covers too much territory.

Likewise, I use the second option.

Hi John D.,

I use the 1st. entry point you listed...

Hey guys,

Thanks for the feedback - and especially Dwight how has sent me updates via e-mail throughout the day!!!

OK- I tried to map the times Dwight sent me and others had posted against the circuit stats..?? The outcome..?? While this is a shared circuit between this forum, the P 38 Forum and one of the Porsche servers I host - I don't see anything abnormal - or would cause the outage??

OK - tomorrow - I'm swapping out the router and try a fresh one. When it's installed - I'll post back here, and we'll try this again..

In the meantime - Thank You to all who have kept this thread updated - and especially Dwight who has kept me updated throughout the day...!

Best to all - and thanks!

John

I open the forum using the rogues gallery page.

OK guys,

I just replaced the router with a new one.. Can you tell me if the "time outs" are still occuring for you??

(Also - Ed T. - tried to call you back last evening..? Can you send me a phone #? Maybe I'm calling the wrong one, or - you know it's me, and not answering - which is more likely ;) ) Heh!

John D.

PM sent

John D., I had a time-out trying to send a message reply just a few minutes ago! Had to refresh twice before the forum came back up... and the message was posted.

Sorry JS..

That was me - I was trying to make sense out of a "rat's nest of wires" that are plugged into the routers.... :) :)

Thanks!

JD

John, I just spent some time clicking around on various topics, no hangups, it just might be working again.

John D.,
Whatever you did, it seems to be working slicker than cow slobbers on a glass doorknob now. Thanks

WOW faster than a speeding bullet, made it thru without a hiccup, thanx John.

Thanks All..!!

I'll keep watching the performace from my end - but Thank you for your input in trying to track down this gremlin... ;)

Best to you - and thanks again..!!!

BTW: Ron - "cow slobbers on a glass doorknob" had me ROTF..!! :D That must be pretty danged slick.. ;)

John D.

I knew I couldn't top it with a wittyism, so didn't try :D


working slick, slick as a slick guy on a slick fire-pole, uh, yah, :roflmao:

Thanks for taking the time to resolve this problem, great to be able to read the posts again !

John come on don't keep us in suspense, what did ya do, I just gotta know.:D

If yas gots to ask, you just don't know! (okay, i don't know either)...


But, my guess is that he put in a different router, which 'talked' differntly to the server and vice-versa, I believe it started acting up when John "improved" it with new circuits and a new router a couple of months ago. Sometimes the darn things just don't interface well.





Either that or he gave the squirrels that supply the power more Mountain Dew for energy :D:roflmao::D

Ed, does that remind you of the Army? If it ain't broke fix it till it is!

HA..!!! OK - in short - "it was broke - so I fixed it.." ;)

Seriously - here is an overview of what I did - less the detail.....

- Split the IP across two NICs to see if one was failing (using a virtual IP).. As that seemed to help, I left them....

- Added 1GB of memory to the server (hence the two re-boots)...

- Reworked the MySQL Database to optimize queries against average loads;

- Installed two new Routers - one upline from the two NICs, and the second to interface with the CSU/DSU (Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit) using Full Duplex mode on a 1GB Fiber NIC;

- Reprogrammed the webserver configuration file - changing time-outs, bind address(es) and the number of servers started per session...

HTH!!!

John D.

what about the squirrels?

I was sure that I was right about dem angimals:roflmao:

Sorry Ed,

I shot the damned squirrels....

And drank the Mountain Dew....

:)

John D.

I hope with a kreikerhoff?

:D

Nope - shotgun. 12 Gauge too boot.

Need a vented Squirrel cap?

;)

John D.

Well John why didn't you say so, that sounds easy enough. Where was I, trying to figure out how to copy and paste, lets see now...........................

Hmmm - what is "Copy and Paste"????

:D

Best to you Herb!

John D.

I KNEW it...black magic and pixie dust. You can't fool me with all that technospeak.

LOL!!!! Pixie Dust can't be beat in a pinch.. Ask me how I know.. :) BTW: sure beats cow slobber on a glass doorknob - and I don't want to know how you know...

:D

Heh!!

John D.

Yup John I would say you fixed it and any future problems nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk

Well, its been three days now, working flawlessly and fast. I've have even almost lost the 'flinch' I developed every time I clicked on a forum.

Thanks John D!
