[07-JUN-2013] Please testdrive BLF on a different server

i think i may have crashed it :bigsmile: sorrrry

i tried to log in. it went slow, then loaded, then i went back to the homepage and it went to the site offline page

Site off-line. Let’s blame it on Pulsar. Just because. :wink:

The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding.

I just managed to crash mySQL (actually MariaDB), but that was searching for the word “the”. :smiley:

I figure if he get’s us panicked over the near total loss of our beloved BLF, then restores it…he’ll be planning on a whole new series of lights showing up at his doorstep! :wink:

Just kidding of course, thanks for all the hard work your’e doing on this sb. It’s appreciated in a very big way!

is "the" like chuck norris? you dont find -the-, -the- finds you

faster than the old one (before the problems) i think…

My internet connection is always quite slow, so I appreciate your collective observations about the speed (or lack thereof) on your end.

Just rebooted the server.

Mostly very fast. Every once in a while it lags just a bit, but still very fast.

how many times do i have to mark someone as spam to get their account blocked? 0:)

Ok, now, please be merciless. Open as many pages as you can at once. There’s a Chrome extension called “linkclump” that lets you shift+select to open multiple links at once. Try it on the recent posts list.

Thanks!

Ummm. Getting the main page, the ones with the threads listed, was fast, but if I click on one of the threads, it’s not so fast. For example, this one:

http://198.199.90.139/?q=node/21874

took ~14 seconds for the thread to appear.

P.S. SB, can you enable the search function… to see how that works speed-wise?

i just opened about 100 blf threads at once... i dont think my computer liked it very much

I suspect it will be a bit slow on some pages still because the cache isn’t warm yet.

I’ve been trying the search function, but something isn’t working because of my quick provisional hack.

I just discovered that private messages do work on this testbed. So blast away. :slight_smile: That will help to simulate real load.

i had already discovered that ;)

is me just about crashing my pc opening 100x pages doing anything to help the research?

SB, I now have ~100 threads open and auto-refreshing every 3-5 seconds. :D

Thanks for your martyrdom! :slight_smile: The server and the DB seem to have survived it. Did most of those pages load for you?

all of them did, most of my screen went white, and then my computer stalled, but they all loaded in about 30 seconds or so.

right now i got a rather long gibberish string i am copy and pasting in a PM over and over and over

Nice! Thanks! Are most of the pages loading for you?

Nice machine you have there if it’s holding up.

So why did you reduce the number of threads that you usually have open? :wink: I thought the idea was so stress test it…
