Return of 502- Bad gateway Error

[RGB255_0_0]

Yes.

[StillTrying]

Saw a few 502s while trying to get to this thread. LOL

There always seems to be a drop in the number of Guests at the time of the 502s, not really enough resolution or data on pknoe3lh's graph to see which happens first, but it looks like the drop in number of Guests happens first, but that could just be because the graph itself hasn't seen a 502 - yet.

or a memory leak

they dont use liquid memory anymore.
so, thats not it.

Ugh, yes -- those mercury leaks must have been messy, back in the day...

[linux-works]

yeah, between memory spilling all over the place, and lp0 being on fire, it was a lot to keep up with, back in the day.

Whatever the cause, the 502 errors just keep coming back. It's making the forum borderline unusable for me.

I like the smaller stars (maybe a bit too small?) but it looks like the script stopped collecting data now?

The forum is seriously sick, 502's one after another.
Pot luck if you can get access to any board or thread and if you want to make a post, good luck with that too.

Copy all info typed and pray when you go to post that it gets accepted.
The Preview when it works at least puts your efforts on the server and then you can play the Post>Back>Post>Back>Post game.

When you send a command (press link) if it doesn't get bounced back immediately with a 502, the server seems to take an age to respond (20s) before the browser indicates it's loading.

My poor F5 has never had such a hiding.

Calling gnif, come in gnif.


Edit to add.
When accessing the last post in a thread you briefly get to see it and when page then finishes loading your looking at the top of the page.

Somethings seriously sick.

Changed to an additional curve
And yes I was working on this changes

I don't get this. It's not like Dave is running this server from his bedroom closet, right? There is supposedly a professional service provider behind this -- known as user "gnif" in this forum, but he is doing this for a living (https://hostfission.com/). Why is is not possible to get this error condition sorted out? Why it is recurring again and again, after months, weeks, days?!

I guessed that much yes, thanks. Would be interesting to run the script at some other servers in other parts of the world, sometimes it looks like not all are equally seeing the problem, which would point more in the direction of Cloudflare. And I really think the 502 page could do with a pragma no-cache and pragma content=no-cache...

AFAIK Daves server is in the US and gnif just remotely manages it and does the tweaks. 

The server provider threw a whole lot more RAM in it recently and it was 100% for some months but it's back to it's old tricks it seems.
But yeah, the silence is deafening.

I've experienced a huge number of 502 errors, in the last few hours, timing approximate. Making the forum essentially unusable.

EDIT: Just getting this post made, has itself caused a significant number of error 502's as well.
I.e. lots of attempts.
When it does work, there seems to be a long delay as well, of something like 20 seconds or so.

[ebastler]

Agree; I am disappointed that "Dave & gnif" don't comment on this at all. Guys, this is embarrasing for a technology forum, in case you have not noticed!!

They could at least update that stupid error message talking about the March database changes, for Pete's sake! It's almost as if they were a scope manufacturerer and could not be bothered to fix that "pluses" label...

Yup, definitely Groundhog Day.

FWIW, I haven't seen more than an occasional 502 error in the past.  But today, it's been crazy.  I either get an instant 502 error or I have to wait up to 45 sec. for the page, any page, to load.  If I get a 502 error, I don't have to hit F5, I just reload the page.  After a few attempts, instead of an instant 502 error I get the long wait for the page load.

Do we know for sure that this is a bug?  Could it be a hack or an attack?

Dave did comment ~a week ago, see reply ~100.
Either SMF is not playing nice with the server OS or there's something wrong with the OS or the setup.

Then again Dave was going to shell out for more RAM but the server people added the additional RAM for free........maybe it's crook RAM.

There is an irony to the fact that  you can't complain about all the 502 errors because of all the 502 errors 

Forum essentially unusable at present, as you observe.

It's been getting worse for a couple of weeks, and it's basically unusable at this point.  I don't know what it is...I'm on a lot of forums, this one has by far the least amount of traffic, yet has by far the most amount of problems.  It's continuous, I can't even remember the last time I went a full week without getting a server error on this forum.  I'm not just talking about the last couple of weeks, I'm talking about ever since I signed up several years ago.

[richnormand]

Today is pretty bad. Combination of gateway errors and very very slow response if it works.....

[M4trix]

Too many Aussies are currently online. Probably the server can't handle it.

I don't know where the graph's server is, but the timing of the 502s that I saw matched with the stars/dots exactly.
From the posts, I think everyone is seeing the same thing from every location.
