If your site is down due to the recent limitations imposed by powweb, email me at mgale@kotorpa.com and I may have a solution you would like.

My site is also down. It use to take 4-5 minutes for the page to come up, but now i am getting the error:

mysql://<username>:@mysql01.powweb.com/<dbname> failed to connectCan't create a new thread (errno 35). If you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug

Im not getting the error anymore (5 minutes later) but its still taking a very long time to connect.

Well, this is what we've been seeing for at least the last hour:


2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query

select count(*) as total from products p, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p.products_status = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '80'

Funny, 'cos, as justification for the new mySQL limits, in thread:

No longer are the MySQL servers going down once (or more!) daily, or needing to be rebooted by admins multiple times a week.


Well, we've seen it down for an hour now, and posts to this board suggest it's been down longer, with NO posting (yet) in announcements!

The site has NOT been experiencing the 99.7% uptime we expected.

Just emailed the "Technical Support", and then they fixed it in five minutes...that was fast...

[kelvyn]

Fair enough, it's fixed - but as the first post was made at
03-31-03 05:05 AM
and it was fixed around 09:10 am (UK time)
that suggests that it was possibly down for 4 hours - hardly 5 minutes!
The reason I didn't bother emailing technical support was that the last time I did it, the reply and fix took 3 days to come!
Shouldn't there be some kind of automatic server monitoring going on?

[iamaposer]

I keep getting a:

----
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database
----

Error thingy..... I know I am not one of those top 2 percent. And mine is still down...

[thuffner]

My board is down too. I get this error message:

"There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience."



Also, when I View Source, I get this error in the page:

"<!-- Database error in vBulletin :

Invalid SQL: SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='options'
mysql error: User 'tom' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 36000)

mysql error number: 1226

Date: Monday 31st of March 2003 04:57:03 PM
Script: /board/
Referer:
-->"

But there is no way I have got 36,000 connections either. I have only got 330 people to my website today!

What is going on?

Yes, it is true that it had been down for 4 or 5 hours. But I mean when I sent the email to them, they replied in a very short time and after getting their email, the problem was fixed in around five minutes.

i know a php one that would do that...i dont know the redirect script, but im sure you can get one. to check just put:


<?
$connect="mysql_connect("server", "user", "password");
if(!$connect)
{
?>
redirect script assiming it is a javascript one
<?
}
mysql_close($connect);
?>
