Problems with the site

[4Factor]

Bennett, just a little feedback about the website, hopefully you can wrangle some time to look into these problems, I also have no idea if I'm the only one experiencing these problems.

... keep in mind I'm telling you this not as destrctive critisism, but because I love the site so much I want to see it be as good as I know it can.

Recent Problems

I've been having a lot of problems lately connecting to jeepkj.com, mainly since you've switched servers. Clicking links (browsing around) will often result in this error

The operation timed out when attempting to contact www.jeepkj.com

Most recently I got another, more detailed, error...

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/rjeepkjc/public_html/forums/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/rjeepkjc/public_html/forums/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/rjeepkjc/public_html/forums/db/mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Often when I "read new messages since last visit" I'll read the first few messages off the list, then I'll choose another (by clicking the little orange "page" symbol) and it'll go to a new page with

"no new messages since last visit"

so I click "back" and none of the mesasages are in the list anymore, so much for reading all the new stuff, I don't know what's new anymore??

yo 4factor...

yeah...the timing out, and sql problems have been up and about the last few weeks. Bennett has been on the wire with the new hosts, and they have been giving him the run around to say the least.

the last one you listed is new, and it's probably in line with the sql problems.


and it is quite friggin frustrating....

Yea, I am working on the situation.

Yep, no prob. We can only fix the things we know are broken. Can't fix it if we don't know it's broken... unless you're me... and electronics. Some new gadgets that certainly aren't broken sometimes need a little fixing anyways (or at least taking them apart to mess around with) (whistle)

just to let you know, I have been having the time out problem as well. No big deal, but just thought you should know.

That's a big 10-4 on the occassional SQL error....lol. I also had a bit of downtime too in the past 2 weeks or so. Just adding my 2 cents. Thanks for all the awesome work Bennett! Keep it up! =)

 

[Bennett]

Yea, after schools out in the next 2 weeks im gonna take care of it, maybe switch or go to dedicated hosting.

I read ya loud and clear good buddy!.....LOL

Only a couple of time outs on my end. no where near what it was before you switched the server over.

 

[yoda13]

yeah, I agree that it is still much better than it used to be.

 

[Bennett]

Yea I think it has been getting a little better, but still not good enough.

Earlier today there was problem connecting to the DB..
And until yesterday the site was painfully slow.
I am not sure if you rebooted or did something it is back and good now.

Who is hosting the site?
