NEW Server - Report any issues / comments HERE

[ChrisUK]

I must admit Microsoft are brilliant when it comes to technical support, especially when it involved bugs which are THE'RE fault!

I had a similar thing when Sharepoint Service Pack 2 went on a 2008 SBS Server and completely shafted both Sharepoint and most of the websites in IIS! It got escalated to the point where I was put in contact with someone in Seattle on the actual SBS Development team!

Of course, now it's all being good - grrr ... for once I *want* you to crash Mr Server!

Always quieter at the weekend though, I guess less activity is going to make a crash less likely.

 

[ben]

Indeed - but it's also the only time I'm here all day ...

Well actually, Uni starts on Wednesday, so as long at it does it on Monday or Tuesday, we're ok

can you spam forum?

 

[ben]

EPERs now been moved too. It shouldn't have been slow before, but just incase - it's now using the same mySQL server as the forum (can you say SSD )

 

[ben]

MS now have all the debug logs - so if it's simple, the next email should solve everything

noticed there are some video files missing that i've uploaded in the past, the links are still there in the gallery but the actual media is not?

https://www.fiatforum.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=43274 for example.

 

[ben]

Cheers Arc - missing MIME type on the server. Added MP4 back, so that video you linked will know work. I think the other types are already set as default

 

[ben]

Performance might be a bit iffy now, microsoft are working on the server.

 

[ben]

Good news! They now know why the site always locks up, just not sure what is causing it.... a little more troubleshooting to go ....

 

[ben]

Final stages now - we've identified the processes causing the issues, so have set them to output debug logs next time they freeze up. This should now give all needed to fix everything

So next time site crashes - be happy

Thanks,

Also worked out that it only does it if you click the link to the thread from the main forum window.

If you go into events and then click on the thread, it doesnt do it.

The reason it happens is because different people have different amounts of posts showing per page.

So if a post is on page 2 for one person who has 20 posts showing, and they link to it, but the next user shows 40 pages per post - page 2 is wrong.

There is javascript in the page which scans all the posts being shown, and then if the one given after the url doesn't exist, it redirects to the correct page.

In this case, that #post is the first post, but as we are using a calendar mask on it - the post number never shows.

I think I can get around this by putting a fake first post in (just the anchor) - but not now, it's my bed time ...

 

[dave]

the whole forum started to do this just now, i had to close browser and reopen to stop it

Update from Microsoft: They are recoding the Cache module especially for us, as this is where the problem lies. We'll have to beta test it of course, but they hope for something by next week
