I'm having problems accessing the website

vinuneuro · #1 01-16-2006, 04:53 PM

Ever since the update, I've been having problems connecting to the server through the browser. A lot of times, the connection times out, or if it does connect, it happens after 20-30s and the page loads slowly. Sometimes all is well though.

**Here's the thing though: when i let it ping x5world through dos for like 2min, i don't have any dropped packets and my times average around 40ms. What's up?

We'll be moving the site over to a dedicated server very soon, which will hopefuly care for all of these performance issues. Up to this point we have been on a shared server plan, and another site that shares the server isn't playing nicely in the sandbox. That and the fact that we have been growing at a very fast pace accelerated our plans to get everything onto its own dedicated server. More details to follow...

I think the problem might be is with vBulletin 3.5.x
I'm assuming that you open a bunch of sites at once? I do that, and half the sites I open will time out. It's a feature to prevent flooding out.

eh,i've got 5 vbulletin sites up 24x7 practically and hvae no issues....

make sure you have all of the latest microsoft updates, and do a IPCONFIG /flushdns from a DOS prompt.... see if that helps.

What version are they running? I also run a few vBulletin sites and I first noticed the 'Timing Out Issue' with 3.5.x when I started a test forum to try out a bunch of hacks.

this has to do with the migration that is happening.

there will be an announcement, shortly regarding anticipated downtime tomorrow nite as we move to a new dedicated server.
