Whats going on again

[scottish]

No, the downtime i'm talking about is the later downtime

i.e. today at 11am until 1pm our time the forum was down majority of the time, and took 5 mins to load for the rest of the time.

According to that link it seems that it's quite slow to connect to in Canada, what a shame

I haven't noticed much significant downtime other than when the server undergoes its daily backups (1-2am for most of you folks). Would I be correct in saying the downtime caused by this is primarily the downtime we're talking about here? It might be worth bringing up the idea to have server backups changed to start at 1-2am to 5am.

Glad you bothered reading the thread... the backups are at 2:30 AM and we have a cycling downtime of length hour and a half changing time each day by moving on average six minutes forward each day.

Didn't notice it myself yet. It's certainly not as bad as last years problem though

I know plenty of forums, larger than Habbox, that manages database backups without the entire server committing suicide in some form...

Well the weird thing is David it started a few weeks ago every day between 7am and 9am then seemed to get later between 9am and 11am and today it was an hour later again. We are talking about every day and it can last up to two hours. Very frustrating. I would say back ups during the night would be a lot better. Unfortunate for some international members but better for the majority who post during the day.

I know there was a deadlock in the database the other day which caused problems for Habbox itself. I don't have much else to say but I'm aware there is a few problems during the UK time at least and it is quite annoying since it's when a lot of the members would be online. I'll keep telling Jin about the problems we are having and hopefully get a solution in place soon.

Deja vu...

Clearly they're happening for a regular reason, they're VERY predictable. So if it is a database lock it's locking every 24 hours or due to a function which occurs every 24 hours.

I still don't understand why Jin doesn't hire a second admin that he trusts who can be around when he isn't, and who can modify configs etc to make it run more stable generally (i.e. not dying just because a database is being backed up).

Jin is around at the moment, he just hasn't noticed yet, give him time.
