500 (and 404) errors on wxforum
« on: June 24, 2011, 06:26:57 AM »
Getting a lot more of these lately on the site.  Not just during busy times of day.   Already had several between 6am and right now.  There is no common time it happens, sometime on a "show unread..." sometime "show new replies..." and sometimes just clicking on a topic.

Usually a few "backs" and re-click gets you where you were trying to go.

Naaa... not your computer, it's the website that has these glitches.

A 500 error (sometimes cast as a 404 error) is likely due to having a PHP process terminated on the server.
HostGator sets a limit on concurrent processes available by account, and we (WXforum) share the hosting with Chris' popular capeweather.com website and the Southeasternweather.net website.  So together, all three sites can have only so many PHP processes running and when the limit is reached, the next attempt for a PHP page gets a 500 (404).

Chris and I do have plans to move WXForum.net in the future to a less-loaded venue, but for now, if you get a 500/404 error and it doesn't go away in a couple of minutes, please let me know.

Thanks,
Ken

This went away for a while, but has started up again.  quite a few today.  Around 6:30 am, and just now.
