I've noticed, that the server times out at the same time every night, and then comes back in at the same time.

At around 11:08pm (chicago time) the server times out, it comes back in at around 11:18pm. This has been going on for a few days now.

Any explanation for this?
 
I think it might be time to clean out the server a bit. The SB has been lagging badly of late too. The last time it was fixed, it was a RAM upgrade, if I'm not mistaken. But something is definitely a miss right now, I agree.
 
It happened at least 3 times in the last 24 hours, possibly more. It wasn't the usual sever error either, although it did say something like that. Perhaps the RPG being started has something to do with it.
 
Yeah Im sue it is the Rpg. been xperiencing terrible lag lately :gasp: Maybe we can turn off the rpg and check if it stops?
 
I doubt we're going to turn off the RPG right after its start, so many people are enjoying it... =/ Maybe there's something that can be done about the cut-outs and lag, but I do'nt think closing the RPG again is what will be done.

I get the time-outs too though. :hmmm:
 
How strange :hmm: I don't get time outs, unless I am not on at the specified time or something. Sure, the site freezes, but it is only a few seconds :hmmm:
 
It hasn't been as bad this time, I think. I've had a few time outs or lag moments, but they've only been brief. It's probably to do with the RPG being turned on, but maybe it'll be able to work through it? :gasp:
 
It's probably just the server getting used to having the RPG on it again. Maybe it needs a few more days to adjust. It'll probably correct itself after that.
 
I haven't experienced it myself yet either. However, you say it only happens at a certain time of the night? Odd. Yeah, with the RPG just going online recently for the first time in a while, that may be the kicker.

I'll bring it up to LG and see if he would know anything about it.
 
The RPG just started up again yesterday, correct? If the case, then it's not the RPG either. I've been having this issue for about 2 weeks now. The SB lag issue has been happening for better than a month now. And the "method not implemented" error in the SB will happen as frequently as 3 times in an hour.
 
It might just be the server adjusting to the RPG being brought online, it normally acts up a little for a few days before settling down, i'd say give it a week or so for it to adjust, then things should return to normal again.
 
Sorry didn't see this thread earlier.

I doubt it's the RPG, although I can't say for sure. I have a few other sites on this server that might be causing that. If there's a real problem let me know.

The server wouldn't "adjust" to high load and such, load is either high or it's not.
 
Alright, so I noticed that the time-outs are still going on. They stopped for about three days, and after that they were slight, for about a minute, then I noticed last week they started back up again.

They start at 11:05 chicago time, and ends sometime between 11:13 and 11:18. Just thought I should state this.
 
Going by PST times, I experience them at least twice throughout the night, if not three times..

PST 9:05 - 9:15, and again at 1:05 - 1:15... usually a good 4 hours a part, but always at the beginning of the hour.
 
Ive also noticed the late night ones as well, those just started last week if Im correct
 
I'm not terribly active during the day but it may be an every 4 hour thing. =/ Those two times though are definitely when it happens.
 
The server runs its backup scripts at midnight eastern. That's most likely the culprit. Not much to be done I think since it would be unwise to disable those. If it's for more than a few minutes let me know.
 
Thing is the Rpg is popular with people and they dont want it deleted etc etc. I have not been experiencing server time outs lately here but It may happen again randomly.
 
Lord G, does the backup script runs happen more than once/is it supposed to happen more than once? Cause like I said, it does happen at Midnight EST, but then again 4 hours later. 8(

Its too much of a coincidence that every time the rpg starts up the site takes hits in the lag department >_<
