Does the Subsim server "do" anything early in the mornings (EST) like back ups, etc? Reason I ask is that it seems like every morning here recently (about the last week or so) between 0600-0700 I've had trouble loading the page.

[OneShot]

Yep, same here - regularly around noon or so (GMT+1) no chance to access the Radio Room or SubClub.

[Driftwood]

Looks like that equals the same time frame Oneshot. :hmm:

[The Avon Lady]

Here, too (UTC+2), every day. :yep:

[Col7777]

Same here, a few others reported this as well in various threads as a btw message.

Me too.

[gdogghenrikson]

me too, but not lately

[The Avon Lady]

There it went again! :o

[Onkel Neal]

Yeah, seems like we have a definite problem with something bogging down the server around that time, am checking.

[Onkel Neal]

Ok, made some major upgrades and server config changes. I need someone to report back over the next 10 hours on the status of the website/forum. thanks, post here.

I've been having a lot of problems accessing the site recently, although I can't pin down a time it's usually in the AM (GMT). This is the first time I've got on today, after about half a dozen tries over the course of the morning.

[Catfish]

Hello,
yes, same happened to me lately, usually between 9.30 and 11.00 pm GMT. But since this is 3-5 pm in the US, this may be some server activity(?).
Greetings,
Catfish

Same here but has only happened the last few days. Never kept track of what time it occured though. I am pretty sure it was around 10-11 AM PST.

Nothing today though!

Neal I may be completely wrong here but is your server based in Houston ?
Thing is, mine is too and thats been having some major problems the last week or so.
My site, subsim and quite a few others I normally browse over all seem to be down at around the same time and come back online at the same time.

Just a thought :hmm:

[Col7777]

I know I've already posted but you asked ppl to post if they had any more problems.
I tried accessing the site around 17.40 GMT but failed, then again around 18.40 and failed, played around with SH3 then tried again now 19.40, all OK.

[Neptunus Rex]

About an hour ago, when I tried the forums, I got a message, "Script error"

"Debug mode" or something like that. :hmm:

[timetraveller]

Forum has been down almost all week from noon-6PM USA EST, including today, Friday, Dec 9.

Coincidentally this is also European evening time. Maybe it's getting hit too hard?

TT

:|\ Trip though it was me, no that I think about it ot happens around 2am pst :up:

[Onkel Neal]

Ok, I'm still trying things. I've emptied the Search table, sorry, maybe it will help.

Usually though, that does the trick of making me go to sleep... :D :zzz:

This is interesting. In my racing league, our server is based in Texas and we have been having some nasty problems lately as well... How could this be related?

[CB..]

same problems here tho it's been a little better to-day--

no idea what signifcance there is to this side issue if any--but when the site is down even the googled search engine "cached" subsim pages don't load ---kinda contradicts the concept of them being cached?

does this help shed any light?
