Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Tue, 2010-10-26 09:42
Yesterday the entire website was giving me Page Not Found errors, even for the main sections like "login" and "Blog". It seems to be better this morning but is there a server load issue going on when things get busier in the afternoon? The site is unusable much of the time.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
What CodeBreaker said - for a few days there the hosting service's servers were rather flakey. I think you just had some bad luck for timing. Let me know if you're still seeing the really bad performance even now?

I am still getting the odd error 500 as a page does not load (usually just after authenticating to the site). It seems to calm down about ten minutes after logging in but it makes logging in to begin with a little tricky. __________________

Random Cosmic Imbalances, glad i made it here...
As of now (17:03 GMT+1) i always get the "Page not found" and 500 Errors. It's hard to read the whole forum :/

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
We've seen a sharp upswing in these errors as well over the last week. (Much more than we used to have in the past). So I'm looking into it today and tomorrow, it seems to be tied to some limits on our server environment killing off our php scripts before they can be completed. Please bear with us? I know it's pretty wretched to deal with. :-/

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Okay, so you guys are having the same issues that I am. I was concerned that something which occurred in my area (damage to a major gas main and possibly other underground lines and pipes) was affecting my web access. Looks like that's not the case here.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
I'm experiencing the same problem, and a consistent 5+ second age load time pretty much all over the site. Google's Developer tools are showing some interesting tidbits.....

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
My apologies for not providing further information earlier. The page load problem appears to be local to the server.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
I've made some changes, and redirected some robots that were hitting the site and really tying up our resources to try and make the site a little more stable. I'm seeing a drop in the Page Not Found errors in our logs - how is it behaving on your end of things, guys?

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Thanks, sysop!
The load time is halved for most operations for me, but it's slower when I'm logged in than when I'm not. We're looking at 1-2 second page load times, so it's much better than before. I haven't yet hit a 404.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Sorry to say, no. Just one page loaded this try, guess which one? this one :/

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
I too am experiencing slow load times and 404's again, per the previous behavior. Bummer! If you want a flunky to do tests, please feel free to ping me.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
I'm seeing the same. Back to tweaking the back end. :-/ Thanks for the feedback guys!

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Hi sysop,
You're probably already hip to the tools at your disposal, but I figured that I'd mention that Chrome has a decent audit function in the developer tools that shows some quick fixes you might be able to apply. The two big ones it's talking about are using browser caching settings for the userbars, and some jibberjabber about css script ordering.
I hope this proves to be useful, as I'm sure you have plenty on your plate.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Presuming you're talking about the user bars on user signatures - those aren't actually under our control, they're hosted by a kindly forum member. What's going on is 500 errors on the back end, that I've traced to be related to php timeouts on page renders. So while looking at css and the like is nice for speed performance (and redoing our theme for a cleaner setup is on my to do list) - it's pretty low on the list for fixing right now unfortunately.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Sadly, the Chrome tool leaves much to be desired - namely, the complete paths to the userbars it mentions, the NAME of the css files it's crying about, yadda yadda. Good luck!

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
For what it is worth, the few times I have been browsing the site (usually between 1300 and 1700 EST5EDT), I successfully view pages about 40% of the time. Mostly my browser gets Drupal 404 errors, with the occasional Apache 405. I have not run any utilities against the site to get a better picture of what is going on, so I cannot give any better information than that.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Not sure when it happened as i've been AFK for a few days, but the site is as zippy as I've ever seen it at this moment. Good work!

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Thanks - we've definitely seen a drop off in the errors, though I'm still seeing them occurring in our logs. It looks like it was tied to memory limits our php is running under on our hosting, at least that's the change that's had the most effect. Work shall continue until I'm convinced by the logs that all is well.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Strange I get 404 errors from time to time when trying to open blog or forums but if I just navigate away and come back a minute or two later usually works fine.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Mea culpa
I've been hacking out some of the low performing pieces of code in our backend for the last hour to drive them back down. In that process, a lot of caches have gotten purged repeatedly. So chances are what you were seeing was due to my mid-flight fixing. I've gotten it to a stable point, so hopefully you'll see a drop off again. If not, let me know.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Now I'm occasionally getting 404, maybe 25% of the time. Last three days, between 0500 and 0700 only. Also sometimes getting a time error (saying posts are more recent by one hour than they actually are) shortly before that lasts until it stops.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
Load times for pages slower and alot of page not found errors. Refreshing and up to a full minute or two before page loads on second try sometimes. Seems worse last week or so.

Re: Constant "Page Not Found" errors
PC at work and laptop at home lag loading the pages. Just got a new ipad and it loads EP pages damn quick.

Yesterday night they had some server issues. As far as I am aware they sorted them.
