Just out of curiosity is anyone else having problems with the speed Flirtbox.co.uk & .net are loading??? I know its been mentioned that Yahoo Slurp! seems to be having a bit of a crap affect on the site load times, but wasn't sure if that issue had been sorted.

It was:
- another bot crawling the website
- then a database table was broken
- after that the ip_conntrack_max was too low and had to be increased
- then another datebase table was broken again
- the database cache size had then to be decreased as there was not enough memory in the temp dir to repair tables
- ...while apache had problems as I had to start the server again and StartServers was set too low so it stalled.
so lot's of fun....I need to outsource the webhosting some day - too much trouble.

Toby
The site (both the dating and forum) are getting to the stage where they are slow all the time. Doesnt seem to be a one time problem to me. Its an absolute nightmare on here quite a lot these days. DOnt think the snow has helped matters either

i'm thinking, either problem with apache cache, the actual physical server, or servers connection to the tinternets

I found the snowflake script to be quite processor intensive and just disabled javascript in my browser, which helped a bit.

Disabling javascript *might* also mean that other aspects of the site might not work, although I think most of the javascript features are Google-related (probably not the forum though, as I can't see any other scripts that rely on javascript). Toby could probably shed more light on on how disabling javascript in the browser would affect using the site.
Edit: The back and forwards buttons for the photos on the profile pages rely on javascript too, I think the jump menus do as well (e.g. location menu in the Last Seen bit)

Javascript is just on the client side - the problem is on the server side.
Mainly, it is the database at the moment as some queries damage tables once in a while (a mysql bug)...and I have not identified the queries yet.

I realise that the javascript is client side and has nothing to do with the current problems, but I did find that disabling javascript helped a little with the general loading speed of the forum (not so much the web site). To be honest, sometimes I even disable images when I visit the forum, just to get the forum to load a bit faster when it is slow......everything helps

Have to admit that the speed of the site ( or lack of it) is one of the reasons i haven't been about so much.......pages take forever to load....jumping between topics takes an eternity. even posting on here my machine 'times out' grrrrrrrrr....can be very frustrating ![]()

I don't come on so much because I have to start a page loading and then I go do something and forget about it for a while
Sometimes it just doesn't load at all! I'd offer my help as a php/mysql developer but I don't know what I'd be able to do that you couldn't do already..

bizarrely i have been able to login from home without resorting to proxies, havent been able to do that for about 6 weeks.

The main problem is currently that some MySQL queries crash the database tables....then MySQL repairs them in the background the the website gets really slow as MySQL uses a Ramdisk as the tmp directory. Without a ramdisk MySQL would be too slow....but with one, the memory is a problem if tables crash. I have not found an easy way to identify those queries yet.
Another problem is that exim4 sometimes blocks port 80....maybe because PHP sends a mail and then the Apache process dies...and strangely the only process still occupying port 80 after a "killall -9 apache2" is exim4 which is only supposed to block port 25.
