Forum outages
Due to the PR1.3 announcement today, expect TMO outages due to high server load.
Sorry for the inconvenience. If you want, you can follow me on Twitter for updates: @rsuplido |
Re: Server outages
I thought that there is a problem with my internet connection.Thanks for the confirmation.

Re: Server outages
Have to admit reggie, the server has done us proud! Last time it died in the build-up to the update release! so for it only to go today, thats pretty good! :)

Re: Server outages
more servers needed its not good that a firmware announcement should kill the site for a day and not only that it kills meego forums too.
rather separate them to different servers or get more b/c imo its unacceptable that it impacts other sites |

Re: Server outages
Clearly it was a mistake to integrate the high-speed networking hardware directly into the forum server. If the forums had continued to simply tether via Bluetooth to a separate, dedicated, high-speed networking server that could be upgraded independently on the user's choice of ISP, we wouldn't have this mess.
Or maybe it's all the orange. I don't remember anymore. |

Re: Server outages
Why on earth you people do not have proper way to communcate on server issues.
I have tried to follow updates from official source about TMO sitsuation: http://maemo.org/news/ http://maemo.org/ http://maemo.org/news/announcements/ And total silence. Why? Itīs nice that reggie is updating his twitter account (found it after i was able to read this thread :|) but oh boy :| Where is official maemo.org twitter account or facebook account etc. Shouldnīt council at least be interested in these kinds of matter? |
Re: Server outages
get ready for another outage, every time its approached 2400 viewers today its gone down

All kidding aside, I entirely agree. I still stand by my earlier suggestion to just do the smartest thing and use a bittorent method of upgrades and/or apt. It would absolutely cut down on all the unnecessary waste of bandwidth and server resources for Maemo/Nokia/whatever. |
Re: Server outages
Funny (or not) thing is that TMO goes down for me all the time. Even before today I'll be reading and it will go down for hours. Now I don't know where the servers are and I'm in Phoenix usually accessing it from work during swing shift, so maybe Reggie is just asleep when it happens and can't fix it until morning, but it definitely happens way more than just today (when it is entirely justified--/. effect).

Re: Server outages
Daily backup happens at 1AM (EDT) for about an hour or so, so during that time, you might not be able to access the server.

Maybe I should start lurking maemo irc channel but IMO thatīs just not so obvious way of reaching all people in todays web 2.0. And about technology behind updates and server. I have seen some forums that change to text only mode when load getīs too high. That probably is not rocket science either. |

You should be aware that the update repos are delivered via Akamai and have essentially unlimited resources in terms of Nokia's needs to push maemo updates, TMO however is hosted by a single server, entirely separate from Akamai. The reason TMO goes down is not because "zomg so many people are downloading teh updatez" as they come from a totally different source, it goes down simply because on update days there are THOUSANDS of concurrent visitors looking at the forum. Changing the method of delivering updates doesnt in any way whatsoever affect the ability of the forum to cope with the number of people looking at the forum on the day a patch happens. |

I'm checking some more items that might be causing the problem now. It looks like the server is responding well now, despite the not so low server load. Just to clarify, the forum server is separate from the other parts of maemo.org. As nidO has mentioned, it's the spike on the number of visitors in the forum that causes the forum server outage. |

Re: Server outages
Hehe, nidO, I thought that was obvious, but I guess not.

Re: Server outages
Its been off most of the evening for me today, and all last night and meego is still down
Is this a private server or provided / funded by Nokia ? None of the other Maemo / N900 sites have been down, so why this one Is it a case of it just needs more money thrown at it ? Not a rant serious questions as I visit a few high visitor forums and its incredibly rare they ever go down and they have thousands of users pretty much all of the time and they are vbulletin too |
Re: Server outages
more users here now than when pr 1.2 was released. Dont remember any longer server issues back then.
??? |

Yes, today is another busy day and I am indeed monitoring the server, tweaking and even restarted it a few minutes ago. More patience guys. I'm doing the best I can. It will pass. |
Re: Server outages
don't seem to have seen many other replies on here thanking Reggie and his team (does he have a team) for the hard work and effort pugt in keeping this particular show on the road. i frequently found the site timing out over the last 24 hours, and realised why.

Re: Server outages
I have no idea on how the site is run, whether it is a hobby or a full time job so cant make comments on how hard the team work, if it is a hobby site then kudos to the people that run it, as I know how hard it is to run a forum and keep it going, if its a full time paid job then that is what Reggie is being paid to do, as I say I have no idea though
Reggie everytime I tried to get on the site last night it either took about 10 minutes to load the page, or just didnt even load and at one point I got an instant page cannot be found Meego forum is still down for me and this evening it has timed out several times, although it is better than last night I am on virgin 20mb broadband in the UK if that makes any difference as to why the site never worked at all last night |
Re: Server outages
I'd thank Reggie but the server keeps timing out whenever I try and it's easier to re-try posts. :P

Re: Server outages
FYI, the forum server might reboot several times today to fix some memory issues.
Sorry for the inconvenience. |

Re: Server outages
Server back up, and memory fixed with the help of the host.
I will keep monitoring the server though. Thanks for your patience. |
Re: Server outages
And pretty please could you report about these issues & maintenance in maemo.org announcements/news. Itīs somewhat weird to report here in single thread which gets burried quite quickly and moreover will be offline during downtime.
Thanks for the all hard work :) .edit Combo Facebook+twitter+announcements(maemo.org)+IRC would be nice. |

Again, sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the patience and understanding. |
Re: Server outages
does this issue have anything to do about the repo being locked out from being navigated through browser? Yesterday I could still browse and download some updated apps from repo by downloading it manually through pc but today I can't even access the repo's folder view I can just download if I get to have the hotlink.
|
Re: Server outages
No sorry. The repos run on an entirely different server which I don't have access to. You might want to start a new thread about it.
I've changed the thread title to lessen the confusion. Thanks. |
