rather separate them to different servers or get more b/c imo its unacceptable that it impacts other sites
Increase dues...

Hehe, nidO, I thought that was obvious, but I guess not.

Yes, the backup is online and set to incremental. For some reason though, MySQL locks some of the major tables during the backup making the the site seem unaccessible. The major tables are quite large as well.
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.

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

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.

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.

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

I'd thank Reggie but the server keeps timing out whenever I try and it's easier to re-try posts. :P
