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

SB You should really consider building/buying a NICE server (8Gb+ RAM, SSD, Intel Xeon or i5) and then just having it hosted. There's a place less than 5 miles from my house that has Burstable Gigabit connections, 100MB guaranteed, 2TB/Month of Transfer, Battery and Generator Backup, Security, the works.. For a Mid-Tower or 1U Rack Server.. $50 per month.

Then you control the hardware.. Need more RAM? Ship two sticks of DDR3 to them and they'll install it in your box for you. Small tasks like that they usually do free of charge.

I'm done for the night. Just stopped all threads.. Let me know if I can help.

Thank you VERY much! PM sent.

it seems like its been crashing alot lately :slight_smile:

Its slower for me.

And it stopped loading. I got this instead:

“Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 198.199.90.139”

Not sure if anyone else is still “testing” it. I still am using my PC overloading the server.

I’m having trouble with it now too. I’ve rebooted it a few times now. I suspect that it needs to have the maintenance tasks run after that heavy load, and I can’t run them because of a configuration problem on this testbed.

Yeah, I think everyone but you has signed off by now, I already stopped testing.

I stopped my “attack” and it seems to be working again. not sure if it was a coincidence.

OK, I think I managed to run the maintenance task, at least partially. It seems to be running quite fast. Now if everyone could please try to navigate around it and send PMs and get a feel for the “normal” load performance.

Most likely. :stuck_out_tongue:

:_(

Let me know if you want me to put a load on it again.

Its quite snappy/responsive right now. Me likey!

Well, I do have access to a 200 gigabit/sec direct internet backbone link (but via a 1 gig/sec net connection). It would probably not be couth to unleash that on the poor beastie.

Nightbird95 and Foy, any comments now that the siege is over?

i’m not Nightbird95 or Foy, but it seems to run well currently, quite snappy

Cool, please keep poking around and let me know how it behaves.

I’ll probably be switching BLF over to this new hosting provider and infrastructure. Unfortunately this issue came up on a really really busy week for me, so I might not be able to migrate the site over until early next week. Meanwhile, please excuse the exasperating slowness of the current production BLF site and stick around for the upgrade. :slight_smile:

it just froze up, two threads are currently loading

We have the coolest people on this forum. Test site is snappy enough for me, but my end is probably the bottleneck. no errors. Thanks SB!

Sorry, it was me. Was just testing what effect my load test had on it.
