Is anybody else getting a slew of 'Server Not Found' or 'Internal Server Error' messages? Every other link I click on gives me a server error, and it is right frustrating. Anybody else having the problem, or know of a way to make it stop?
Cheers,
Comph
D: Not this again. Don't tell me we have to get rid of ArrowChat! I've only seen the internal server error once.... so far D:
I know, i started getting surver errors too. I really hope it doesnt have to do with arrow chat.
No, no. Don't worry guys... this started a few days ago. It had been getting worse and worse... to the point of cutting out every 5-10 minutes for about half a minute.
Oh, well I just got it the one time today (when ArrowChat came)
I've been getting server errors in the last few days too but not as frequently as you by the sound of it. Mine are probably happening a couple of times an evening/day.
My browser is Google Chrome.
I don't even know what arrow chat is. I got an internal error (I think the number was about 550…something like that), but I hit refresh and it worked out. -shrug-
My life is plagued by these:

Only here and MNRCentral. Everywhere else is fine.
:(
Could be that CC is doing some things in the background getting chat configured properly and rippling the server.
Noop. Been doing that for a few days now. I've been chatting with him when it happens and he says that is able to use it at the exact same time with no issues.
I've been getting a lot of these today on LBPC, I don't think I've gotten them before today though, but the site has been a bit slow lately.
Edit: Also I've gotten one while posting this reply, lol.
i have had them also today.
I've been having a few right now too... gah this is just great :(
I have had two in the past 5 minutes when replying to posts.
Only problem is then that the new post don't seem to be showing as the latest post in a thread, yet when you go to look at the thread, the latest post is there...
I just had this:

I ping'd the site to see if it was due to a packet loss causing an incomplete query or just something else on the way to the site, but it seems to be fine. Seems like a hiccup and not much more.
Yep, but only since arrowchat went live. Hardly surprising really. The only way such a program can know whether you have a new incoming message or not, is to frequently poll the server - meaning that the server load has just increased by probably 100 times, and the 500 errors are often the result of an overloaded server.Quote:

Yep, that's right the LBPCentral font. :p
Okay. I was wrong. It's using a technique called long polling (source) so the bottleneck will be on open sockets.Quote:

I have five tabs open to LBP Central, and...
...there are six active connections to the webserver.Code:C:\>netstat -n

Well, this is quite interesting. It seems that Arrowchat is no less taxing than cometchat.
As for your observation, Mnimmo, that is just a byproduct of the errors. When you make a reply, it temporarily resides just below the post you are replying to. When the page refreshes, as it's supposed to, it bumps it to the bottom. So, in your case, as in the case of myself a few times lately, the page didn't refresh, so your post didn't seem to move. When you return to the thread, though, it completely refreshes, and it is shown correctly.
:/
Edit: Haha, not sure what Aya said just there, but I'm gonna stand behind what he said. Yeah! What he said!
Edit2: I see your edits. So, is multiple tabbing killing the server load, then? Excuse my dense-ness in the matter.
Not necessarily 'load' in the traditional sense, although that fourm post I just linked to on arrowchat's website seems to suggest that there are still some issues to work out.Quote:

The result will be slow-loading pages, pages which don't load at all, and potenially our good old friend, the 500 Internal Server Error, although that's more likely indicative of a problem elsewhere, such as database contention.
