Div Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 We've obviously had a bit of a mare tonight. Looks like sudden increases in load are killing our web services. Server itself been up all night but Apache refusing to play nice. Fucking helicopters. Anyway, I'm going to get a geek to look at it, this keeps happening when we get busy and it's a shite state of affairs. Over and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Going the helicopter angle when swearing about Apache. Good call. The other option would be a bit too Malky Mackay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderdomb Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Sounds like you need more and/or faster memory for the service (not the server). You should profile the server for 24 hours and you'll find the bottleneck (php). In an ideal world you'd re-write p&b in .net core. ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Div Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm testing out some new settings on Apache. Things may get worse before they get better but let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second Saturday in a row without a decent platform to rant about the failings of Ayr United doesn't bear thinking about tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Noticed the downtime coincided with Falkirk losing to us last Tuesday. Then it crashed on Saturday after a rare win for them. As a computer expert, my advice to Div would be to ban all Falkirk supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it crashed on Saturday after a rare win for them. As a computer expert, my advice to Div would be to ban all Falkirk supporters. There are still mentalists out there that think I deliberately crash the forum when St.Mirren lose The reality is that the web server has been crashing on heavy loads. I've thrown memory and processing power at it and tweaked performance but unfortunately I've no tools to simulate heavy loads so I don't know if the problem is resolved until the next time it happens. When we do have a heavy load and the services stall then there is then the problem grows as more and more users try and get on and so as soon as services restart they crash again. It's a strange one as we didn't really have many issues at all throughout 2017 and then in the last few days we've had quite a few issues. All that's happened in between is us applying regular operating system updates but we do that regularly anyway. As ever I'll keep tweaking until we get it right.
