Bradbury Robinson Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I think it might have been a database problem. Seems to happen quite often on this forum for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would like to know what system Fubra are using? It is the most unreliable system I have ever encountered! I run a LAMP based web service which is approximately the same size and popularity as housepricecrash and do not get anywhere as many issues. At times I do wonder if this site is earning Fubra so little that they really don't care about it that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone baby gone Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 At times I do wonder if this site is earning Fubra so little that they really don't care about it that much? It's probably costing them - they sell a hosting platform and it's not a great advert - I certainly wouldn't consider using their platform after my experiences with outages here....

pajd Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Got a database/SQL error telling me it was my computer that was the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Just to rub it in a bit. Both of our dedicated servers have an uptime of over a year We use http://ovh.co.uk because they are cheap and reliable. That is also the reason we use a linux LAMP stack.

geezer466 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Is it possible it was a server issue at a major hosting supplier? One of my other favourite sites (army rumour service) went down at and for exactly the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@contradevian Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) Just to rub it in a bit. Both of our dedicated servers have an uptime of over a year We use http://ovh.co.uk because they are cheap and reliable. That is also the reason we use a linux LAMP stack. Mine do too with the help of K-Splice to update running kernels! The only major outages I've experienced have been network related, DDoS attacks and so on, which can take time to manage. Thankfully they are rare. It is also common for data centre sites to have back up power, usually in the form of substantial diesel generators. Loss of power is not an acceptable excuse. Having said that I have hosted at the likes of Redbus Telehouse, which have managed to loose power. Edited March 22, 2012 by "Steed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurzel Of Highbridge Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have not heard of K-Splice before, sounds like it could be usedful if you are using the very latest OS builds. Our systems are running Cent OS 5.x and 6.x, before that we used Suse and Mandrivia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days when I used Netware 3.12 I would have been seriously disappointed to not get several years at a time. Edit to add: Not much use for a wb server of course.

'Bart' Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Got a database/SQL error telling me it was my computer that was the issue. From my experience, if you were logged in, you got that message. If you weren't, you could see the forum and read the posts, but as soon as you logged in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hectors House Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 A lot of sites have been/are at this moment suffering hacking attacks, both UKpoliceonline and policespecials .com are offline because its so bad, the hackers have got hold of individuals email accounts as well. hackers seem to have something against Bankers. Surprised Arrse hasn't been taken out as well as this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
