Today as I logged into PS I got 3 popup ads at the bottom of every page I opened even though I , as I said, logged in as a user. Then I entered some other sites as guest and they were there too. So I assume this is not web wide assault or anything but just something that happened to me, right

EDIT: Turns out it is something called "fake App attack: fake browser update 2". Fuck!
My problem now. Please delete if you need to as it's not a forumwide issue. Sorry

The System Admin is supposedly working on the problem. I am taking a 24 hours break from Planetsuzy; you might consider doing the same.

if Larry says that.. ahem should have a stick in red letters on the front page. proceed with caution alas considering I rebuilt my 3 TB partition table eh I'll do it. but consider it an Alpha test site right? :P

Whoa Larry: in all my (almost) seven years here I have never heard such words being spoken by an Admin!

What could be a reasonable solution to these outages: new servers? New forum software?

Whatever it is, please implement...

He's not alone.....

Trust me, it's much more complicated than new servers etc. and the forum Admins have no control over the situation.

If you know something to say it much more complicated... or anything, please let us know. Seriously.


Judging the error message returned,

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on '********' (4)
/svn/code/planetsuzy.org/htdocs/includes/class_core.php on line 311

MySQL Error :
Error Number :
Request Date : Saturday, September 6th 2014 @ 02:53:03 AM
Error Date : Saturday, September 6th 2014 @ 02:53:08 AM
Script : http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.php?p=*********
Referrer : *************

Classname : vB_Database
MySQL Version :

it has something to do with MySQL server problem, most possibly timeout issue.
This may be caused by too many connections at a time compared to maximum processing ability of the server and the processor.

------------

To tech guy(s):

How does the server load look like? I suspect it shows quite high load all the time recently. Any connection above the server ability has got the error response. That is the very cause of the problem, I guess.

How about setting slightly longer timeout value?

-------------

Edit:

And since the error code in the case is (4), PS should upgrade MySQL version up to 5.6 as this is a bug found in older version than that. (And yes, this got to be a timeout issue.)
See: http://anonym.to/?http://bugs.mysql....g.php?id=64333

-------------

Edit2:

As the line 311 is...

$link = $this->functions[$usepconnect ? 'pconnect' : 'connect']("$servername:$port", $username, $password);

if it is not modified from the original, it certainly means that a connection to the DB server is rejected at the very first time for the web server to try to connect to the DB server when we get "Database error" page. It looks like more of maximum connection number problem rather than timeout problem.

It's all in the hand of the techies, the forum Admins can only report the errors and wait until the problems get fixed.

It's not really encouraging when a leader turns up and tells that all's screwed up, banging his/her head to the wall but you somehow manage to give hope at the same time in your own way Larry LOL

Neah. Admin team and tech guys pulled through countless times before. So I'm confident. Take your break Larry
