I am averaging a 3 minute wait per page. Meaning it is taking 3 minutes to load the page. Some have teken longer. Earlier today I couldn;t get in at all. I hate to say this but I with Fridger on this. Until this issue is fixed I am out of here. I just have better things to do than wait 3 to 4 minutes for a webpage to load.

traceroute often shows more than a 4 second ping delay between 120.ge-0-0.er1.sea1.speakeasy.net (the upstream ISP router) and dsl231-048-101.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net (Chris' local router), so it most likely is related to network problems, not to the Web server on shatters.

There is a cure doctor?


If the SQL database is the bottleneck (which doesn't seem to be the case as selden explained above) and if the database runs on a MySQL Server, I would suggest reading chapter 7 'MySQL Optimization' of the MySQL manual that can be found here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysql-optimization.html

It's difficult to give further advice, as database performance issues are very individual to the actual structure of the used database and the underlying hardware.

Another advice would be to scan phpbb-technical-forums to check if someone owns a forum that has yet been used so extensively that database performance became a problem.

For me also, communication is VERY hard since Sunday or so. Last time I heard from Chris was last Wednesday, when he was taking off for his climb of Mt. Baker. He was supposed to be back Thursday night and promised once more to finish his code on elliptical galaxies right after. Then I wrote an email about the slowness of the forum right on Sunday (06/26/2005 07:25 PM), but NO RESONSE and NO EFFECT in the forum. I hope he did not fall into a "crevasse" ...

Here is the MAIN reason for my email:
=========================
*Since TODAY the forum is again DEAD-slow*. Please do the same thing as last time (whatever it was ;-) ) to
keep the communication flow alive!

On http://phpBB.com/ there is a message about "DoS scripts circulating". But I don't know if such a DoS could explain the obviously network-related slowness of shatters.net - I'd expect problems with CPU load or a slow MySQL server.

Oh, and there is a new version of phpBB too - security fixes again :roll:

Indeed...and with the weekend approaching, Chris is getting ready --I guess-- for the next mountain ;-)

Don't know but using the tools at:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/

I've seen that some days the tracert was locked by some kind of firewall
that now is disappeared.
Perhaps is the provider of shatters.net that had problems.

http://invisionfree.com/

Ive never seen them lag.
Or is that not the problem?
