Question about the server. (was "Re: new story post")

Post by zekeprower » Sat Apr 29, 2006 2:34 pm

Question? *Raises hand* what has been going on with the server. i have been having problems getting to the site sometimes. the error says that the server is down or busy. and it cannot connect to the database. if anyone knows, please tell me

I've been having that problem, too. To avoid it, I just constantly stay on! If you keep trying after "Page cannot be displayed" it will eventually work.

Please, if you have something to say/ask that's not related to your story, don't put it in your Review thread.  Graham has just cleaned it up for you.

Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.

What? I said that in a normal post? Oops, I thought it was in a private message.

The problem is a periodic memory overload caused by too many programs running on the server. It'll happen now and then until I've found enough cash to upgrade the server.

What, you don't like that? I always stay on, because it's always a hassle to log back in.
