Why is Thumped so unstable? (1 Viewer)

[Goodbye]

again:

Safari could not open the page “http://www.thumped.com/bbs/” because the server is not responding.

Its far far more stable than boards and they even pay a guy called Cult to make sure theirs run smoothly!

 

[pete]

before anyone says anything - i just restarted the database server

 

[Janer]

Wouldn't you know it, the next time I went to use Thumped I got this...

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/thumped/public_html/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 338

I wonder who'd win in a scrap between pete and cult?

 

[pete]

i'd lose a fight with myself, never mind ian astbury & billy duffy ganging up on me

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I dunno. You must know a few moves from watching all those wrestlemanias.

 

[pete]

i never got past the greco-roman hair pull

 

[ann post]

its been a lot stabler since this thread went up.

Can't take a bump.

Or Undertaker style won't bump.

 

[pete]

i could land on my head pretty good too. no so sure about the shooting star press before it though.

made a small mysql reconfiguration which might help things.

i think i'll be more pissed off if it does, it's that obvious.

Reeeeelly bad this week

 

[magicbastarder]

maybe the original poster was asking why thumped is so emotionally unstable.

 

[therealjohnny]

time for a reissue?

 

[pete]

it's just the server load.

i really, really don't want to have to go down the road of separate web & DB servers, but it's looking increasingly likely.

 

[the departed]

shouldve got a mac.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

If I write a script to keep hitting "View New Posts" several times a second, would that help?

 

[Froog]

if the unread posts thing is such a load, why not get rid of it?
i'd happily give it up for a consistently stable thumped.
