Usually late morning for me (EDT). I see some mysql errors sometimes when the site is down.

I do appreciate this site and started this thread to offer help if needed. I'm sure there are some very seasoned admins lurking somewhere on this board. No offence is intended, just a seeing if help is needed.

I didnt notice any mySQL errors... I just got a timeout... or maybe I just didnt get it time to display and I just closed the browser window...

I dont know but either way the site was down for me earlier...

Ya I was having issues with it as well today. We're working on a new server right now.

I'll update everyone once things are finalized.

I was having a problem connecting today and yesterday.
Both times were about 11:00 AM Central Daylight time.
I came back online at 3:30 PM today and was having connection probs with https://www.oesf.org/forums/

I was using Firefox, so I tried Internet Explorer. The site opened with no problems.
Then I changed my settings in Firefox's "FasterFox" extension.
I enclosed a screenshot, it was set at "Optimized"
I changed it to "Courteous" and OESF forums started loading normally.

That's interesting. I'll have to look more into that extension and see what exactly it does to our server.

I wonder how many people are using it..

I have opera identifying itself as msie 6.0 and I have the same problems around 10am EDT pretty much every morning. I think it usually clears up around noon...

I second that. It's happening to me to. Firefox (no "FasterFox" extention).

I have been having problems with SQL errors for over a week using IE, sample below, not sure what offroadgeek.com has to do with it, perhaps its pointing at the wrong SQL server.

mySQL error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mysql4.offroadgeek.com' (4)
mySQL error code:

I had problems connecting this morning 8:00 AM CDT
So the above setting in Firefox's extension didn't help this time.
I also tried Internet Explorer and it failed to connect this morning.
I gave up and went back to bed.
It's 9:43 AM CDT, I'm connected now.
(although it took 30 secs to submit my edited post)

jon_j,

I wonder if that moving to IE and seeing it work was more a coincidence that the site cameback. Probably firefox cached the error and wasn't letting you through, but when you made the extension change it cleared the cache. I'm just taking a stab in the dark.

Your'e probably right about it being a coincidence.
The forum problems seem to be random when they first start, then I cannot browse/click anything for awhile.
It's most always in the morning for me.
Looking at the Firefox extension, it mentions that some of the settings slam the server.
I'm sticking with the Courteous setting.

For the last 3 days I have started to have problems about 9:40 AM EDT.

It just now allowed me to connect and make this post.

so we've established there is a problem, there are some mysql errors and usually happening in the morning. Since I'm pretty sure offrdgeek is on the west coast, I'm guessing this happens around 7am PDT.

Hey DZ, is there a cronjob that happens around then?

ArchiMark · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2006, 12:31:48 pm »

Like others I've been having problems connecting to site the past few days...usually about 7AM PST here in California....

dz · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2006, 03:31:07 pm »

No cronjob that I know of. I have been having issues as well though so I know what everyone is talking about.

Like I said before, we've been in talks with some people about our hosting situation and that is going to change soon. I don't want to say anything yet as we're finalizing things, but as soon as the time comes I'll update everyone.
