Anyone else been having problems, for a few weeks I've been getting this message

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
 
Then tonight I got this one.

No messages here, but slow to open, but that might be the network (using the phone).

Been getting similar things as well mate on the phone & tablet.
The last one was tonight - 405 Error or something like that.
Pisses me off. 

It's been happening for a week or more.

Same thing here.

Let me know if things haven't improved.  I did some tuning this weekend, which messed it up even more, then upgraded the server and did some more tuning and that seems to have resolved most of the issues; at least as far as I can tell at the moment.

Yes, same experience for last few weeks.

Thank you for all the work you do!

Seems to just stall out a lot, won't open or move, just searches. If I right a post cross the fingers it takes sometimes.

Thankyou for the work you do on this site Glenn, I'll let you know if anything pops up again

[mick7504]

Thanks Glenn
It all seems good now mate.
Receiving loud and clear from Darwin in Oz. 

[petercb750]

Seems ok here now, thanks Glenn.

I got that nginx rubbish the other day as well Andrew.
I'd like to thank Glenn as well, I just threw a donation in the tin for the work you do mate. Cheers.

Been getting the server error the past couple weeks. When I would get into the site it would not open...just kept searching. Has been OK the last few days now. Thanks Glenn.

I'm getting this one also on the SOHC site.  I thought it was on my end so I did a complete AVG scan,reset browser preferences to factory,then finally a  system-restore to earlier date, all with no luck.

anyone have a solution without me having to use the DOS command prompt?

Thanks!
Mike

Thanks for the report.  Generally, it looks like this happens when the server load gets high - likely when the backups kick off - they last for around 5 minutes each AM (around 5am EST).  I'll be doing some tweaking over the next couple of weeks to straighten this out.
