Server Migration
Archive: 30 posts
Hey guys! We're back up and running on our brandy new server. We have a lot more wiggle room now, so we've re-enabled all of those cool features that we had to disable while we worked on optimizing the site. Enjoy it, and don't forget to post any issues you may find - we may very likely have problems that still need to be ironed out. You know, growing pains, that sort of thing. | 2009-12-25 19:33:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |

Long live LBP Central! Part of LittleBigPlanet's success and longevity is because of communities like this, and I'm glad we can make it thrive even more. Thanks CC and everyone for making such a supportive community. | 2009-12-25 21:23:00 Author: jeffcu28 Posts: 648 |

Ok, small update on the recent problems: First time, the site went down and nobody could access it. That was due to a setting that was not optimized for the current traffic that we get. It was set too low, and when that limit was reached, the server had to be restarted and that setting reconfigured so that it could handle extra requests. Second time, the database error: that was due to that setting I mentioned being set too high. This time, the server couldn't keep up with the high setting I had configured, so it crashed. Once again, I lowered the setting to a happy middle and reset everything, and it's working again. I will be keeping an eye on the site's CPU usage and adjusting this setting accordingly until I get it to a limit that works. Sorry for the issues - like I said, growing pains! | 2009-12-26 01:40:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
Awesome! Thanks so much for all your hard work! ..one question, email notifications are not working for me after the restart. Is that turned off now? Thanks again! | 2009-12-26 02:11:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |

It has something to do with the new servers we're using. I just changed a setting that might fix it - let me know how it goes. | 2009-12-26 02:16:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
Thanks, CC. I hope everyone is understanding with all the downtime we've been having. Myself, I was going crazy without LBPC! Hehe. Thanks again. | 2009-12-26 02:39:00 Author: comphermc Posts: 5338 |

Cool!! working now! Thanks! Good to hear it. I also just finished making a load of changes to the most server-heavy processes, which should (in theory) keep things more stable from now on. More tweaking will probably be required in the future. | 2009-12-26 03:05:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
Wow that one day the site broke happend to be the one day i didn't come here. So i didn't really notice anything... | 2009-12-27 22:23:00 Author: Doopz Posts: 5592 |
I've found the site slow since the migration and at times seems to stop working altogether ie if I go into 2 or 3 threads in one section, by the time I've browsed a few pages I'll click on a hyperlink and nothing happens. I end up needing to close the browser and start again. I also cannot access the add/subtract reputation at all. Any of these related or is it my PC? | 2009-12-27 23:00:00 Author: Matt 82 Posts: 1096 |

I think it happens when you get your kilt stuck in the hard drive..... I profusely apologize for my last comment (give me some credit - I haven't made a kilt joke in months) | 2009-12-27 23:27:00 Author: CCubbage Posts: 4430 |
It wasn't my kilt. Turned out a haggis got into the house and nibbled though the cables. | 2009-12-27 23:40:00 Author: Matt 82 Posts: 1096 |

It's the browser's responsibility to ensure that clicked links result in that link loading, so if you open a few tabs (thus making the browser more resource-heavy) and features stop working, it's because the browser is having trouble finding the resources to handle your request. As to the second issue, it sounds related to the first. As far as I can tell, the site has been faster since the migration, so it seems to be browser-related. | 2009-12-28 00:36:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
I just got a database error D: Only lasted like 10 seconds though. | 2009-12-29 18:32:00 Author: ARD Posts: 4291 |
I just got a database error D: Only lasted like 10 seconds though. I have gotten a few today. | 2009-12-29 18:38:00 Author: jwwphotos Posts: 11383 |
I have gotten a few today. When the server load gets too high it can cause MySQL to go down, which causes that error. I'm still looking into ways to lighten the load on MySQL, and I have already made changes today in an attempt to combat the issue. Also, I just restarted MySQL, so you probably encountered a database error for a short period of time (less than 10 seconds). Just so you know, that was intentional - I had to restart MySQL so the changes I made would take effect. | 2009-12-29 20:06:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
I'm getting plenty of internal server error messages since the migration. | 2009-12-30 18:39:00 Author: Syroc Posts: 3193 |
I'm getting plenty of internal server error messages since the migration. It's been going down regularly once a day at a specific time, so something is causing it. There wasn't much I could do yesterday because the error log was too large to be helpful, but I flushed that and I got some good info out of it today. Basically, what I'm saying is: the problems aren't the host's fault, and they can all be fixed (by me) given enough time to analyze when the site goes down and why. I hope you guys will bear with us as we sort this out. | 2009-12-30 20:54:00 Author: ConfusedCartman Posts: 3729 |
