Server Error Reports

[gnif]

EDIT: Debatable whether this is a server issue or a forum issue 

It is not debatable, I have metrics to prove that the server is operating within norms and there are no slow requests. Complaints of slow image loading (static files) can ONLY be attributed to a network issue between the user and the server. If it were the server I would have multiple alarms as these servers are actively monitored for such issues.

I apologize if my report is not in the proper thread. But there is no other one that i am aware of where forum issues can be reported. And as a user it is not always easy to be aware if whatever issue is occuring is a server or forum issue. Mostly, from the user side, these are synonymous.

Hey Gnif,

can you take a look at the server load? Getting some slow load times (not always) and a few database not found issues (seemingly random once or twice in the last few days).

keep up the good work

I'm having a lot of issues with slow DNS responses around here.  That can make the network seem slow, even though it isn't...

I'm getting 502 Bad Gateway errors only on the Manufacturing and Assembly forum today.  I cleared my cache, no difference.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Jon

RF, Microwave, Ham Radio too !

Yup, I confirm, RF, Manufacturing and Other Equipment all get the 502 error, now.

I hope somebody can get this fixed.

Now it is happening on :
Beginners
Manufacturing
RF
Other Equipment

forums, and I get the same pattern on a second computer, so it is not some weird cache issue.  I hope this can be fixed easily.

Thanks,

Jon

And another....when looking for a thread back a few pages in the TE board more than a few pages back returned 502's.

Same issue at this end (Ontario, Canada).....

Using my mobile phone, If I turn off "desktop site" then I can get into the M&A section.
As soon as I tick that setting again (as that's how I normally have it set) then the 502 error is back

Is there an equivalent to this setting on a destop/laptop  running Firefox?

Right at the bottom of this page on the gray background in blue print. Last line second link from right goes to the Mobile view. Works fine in Chrome.

Wow, that blue text totally disappears on the perforated metal grille background, I had to use ctrl/A to see it.  Yes, that DOES make the 502 forums work, but they sure are ugly in that mode.  Well, this revelation should help the powers that be figure out what is going on.
Thanks!

There is a (horrible) workaround.

E.g. For this which gives 502:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacture/

If you get the 502 error, instead, click on the first available topic/thread, which is shown on the headings page, towards the top half of the main page.

E.g. It currently is, this, which works:

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacture/first-pcb-hasl-smeared-design-error-or-manufacturing-defect/msg3467117/#new

You can then (painfully, goto the next one, and the next one ........
By clicking on 'next' in the botton right of the page, in a tiny font.

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/manufacture/first-pcb-hasl-smeared-design-error-or-manufacturing-defect/?prev_next=next#new

Also, above information, may help narrow the fault diagnosis.

[MK14]

Not sure why, the 502 errors, sometimes clears itself up. E.g. Beginners now works.

Wondered if it was because of new threads.

So, tried creating a new thread, but no, it doesn't clear the 502 server error.

Gnif hasn't been on since before the first report of this. Has anyone dropped him or Dave a message or email?

[nuclearcat]

I just did in twitter, hopefully he will notice. Manufacturing dead for a while.
I hope Gnif is ok.

The forum upgrade required that peope re-login, it was expected I am sorry.
The bug preventing some pages to load was due to an SMF error during the upgrade where a table column was not renamed correctly.

[RoGeorge]

Can the timeout for composing a reply be increased please?

Each time I spend more then a few minutes while editing a reply, I get a red bar when pressing submit, saying the session expired and I need to press submit again.  On the second submit it works.  I'm logged in permanently, with the "remember me" option checked.

Never had this warning bar before the upgrade.

Thanks so much for tracking it down and fixing it!

Clicking [Preview] occasionally probably resets the editing timer, because I take ages and I've not seen that, yet.

Login password failed twice, even though I'd made the characters visible.
Is it just me.

Now 6 tries to login, reset the PW, and then a wait because it was locked.
