Server Speed Feedback Needed

[Quenthel]

I would like to verify that Auction's page is inacessible to me too. I think it is an ISP related issue, since nslookup can not find www.guildwars.com.
I guess I'll have to wait for them to update the DNS.

yes, i'm on the old design.

Thank you very much, the difference is huge!

Just accessed site and forums. No problems, and very fast. Two thumbs up. lol

Edited: Absolutely hilarious. Every time I post that the site works well, it stops working properly for me. I think I'll just shut up for another few days and wait out the issues. I'm having to access the forums via the numerical IP yet again, after having just got here the usual way. I don't know what's going on here.

I haven't noticed any slow downs with the new server.

[funbun]

This server is slow than ever. What's the deal?

[funbun]

This server is slower than ever. What's the deal? the old server seemed faster to me

[jtchans]

Exactly the same problem as Sno
I can hardly view any pages

Very Very Slow as well

The site seemed to be working well for some time, but lately (3:00-4:45 MTN) it has become extremely slow. For example, it took me a little over 103 seconds to load the last page of this thread. In addition, I also seem to be getting the following message an awful lot:

There seems to have been a problem with the database.
Please try again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.

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

We apologise for any inconvenience.

I love the site, but these errors and such can be annoying.

Slow doesn't begin to describe it from where I'm sitting. 90% of links clicked do nothing, return a database error, or return a PHP error. When they do work, they take anywhere from a couple seconds to 3 minutes to load. It took me most of an hour to get this far. This is using either the host name or the ip address.

[Human1]

seems faster to me, but I have gotten a few 'too many connections' errors.

[DamFiNo]

slow for me, takes 30sec to over a minute to load a page. get many of the database errors described previously.

[DamFiNo]

just tried to access the guild wars guru comic and received this:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Too many connections in /home/guildwarsguru.com/public_html/admin/lib/db_mysql.php on line 40
WARNING!
DB Error : Connection to Database gw_uart Failed
Some more usefull information you might want to know:
# Mysql Error : Too many connections
# Mysql Error no # : 1040
# Date : January 28, 2006, 6:08 pm
# Referer: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/
# Script: /content/guild-wars-guru-comic-id1647.php

it appears to me that mysql and/or server configuration(s) need some work.

id have to be honest, this website on average is the slowest website ive ever been too.

in the past few hours, it has been loading extremely slow if it was loading at all, it is so bad, that i have strayed away and did something else besides read up on some matirial that i wanted to read.

[Shoujo]

Also been slow for me ever since the server move as well. I end up checking other sites while and if GW Guru loads :/ Hours don't matter. I've tried around 3 AM ESTish without any luck.

[Alias_X]

Hmmm, seems slower for me.

[viper008]

1-2 min for page loading on a 5-MB connection when I can connect to the forum, sometimes I get page cannot be displayed through out the day.

[funbun]

Seems like they ironed a few things out

[kzap]

we've switched the kernel tweaked some settings, more feedback needed to see how things are going

[jtchans]

Mine seems much much better now

Thanks

[Alias_X]

Much better now indeed.
