wojtekPosted: 11 Jul 2005, 7:10pmrecovered Hey All,
Ever since the problems that were had on Friday Arvo response times have been getting worse, we are aware of this and are taking steps to resolve the issues ASAP.
The downtimes today were due to an upgrade of MySQL as well as config file tweaks to MySQL/PHP/Apache, I plan to monitor the load and quite possibly make additional changes. So if you're writing an essay length post, before hitting submit select it and copy it to your clipboard just in case you lose it.
We hope to bump up the ram and maybe the cpu in the coming weeks... fingers crossed the leadup to then will not be as bad as today.

[1.3L, anything more is a waste of petrol] and I thought you guys were doing it out of spite to me hahahhahahaha
While I was in the line at the supermarket today, I asked myself, "What would be a efficient way to generate big money" to which the other side of my brain said, "Start your own religion"
Buy this CD and support your local scene! I'd just like to say a big thanks and bigups to the whoever wrote the "board offline" message today - that was fucking funny - and a few other RA'ers i spoke to on MSN agreed with me!
JJ: Hey Pratty, want a photo for RA?Pratty: Yeah ok, just let me get some girls first.ATM Crew - you know who! Join the movement!
[1.3L, anything more is a waste of petrol] the offline thing on Friday was whack, I had people ringing me up asking me what I did. I didn't even get to see it

Fuckin' Aye! Just a heads up, now when the server load starts to climb you will get a rather unfriedly message stating an error has occured.
Don't wig out, relax, its just there to stop people from constantly refreshing a half initiated request and starting more processes thus sending the server sinking deeper into a cpu load black hole.
I have also switched off search, active members and all other cool and nifty things till we get this under control.

The next best thing to do if you want to search for something,
Goto Google

Fuckin' Aye! Update: We've made a few hardware upgrades in the last 30 minutes.
I plan to closley monitor the load for the next 24 hrs, if all is well the features that have been switched off may come back.

Fuckin' Aye! PHP + MySQL, as is the majority of pre-written web software.
One of our developers here swears by PostgreSQL, i wouldnt know though, I just admin them so they 'run'. Optimizing SQL seems to involve a lot of voodoo.

Fuckin' Aye! Its amazing what an increase in RAM and a tweak of the MySQL Cache can do.
All the features that I disabled last week are back, load average is behaving better than ever, looks like everything is in full swing again.
