daniweb forum - was NOT opening yesterday

Hi

I just wanted to confirm whether i was not able to access or there was some problem from daniweb side bcz yesterday I was not able to access the forum.

It was around 9 pm in the evening for one hour continuous. I am from Kolkata India and it is IST which is GMT + 5.5 hrs.

Never ever experienced before with this forum.

thanks regards

:rolleyes: :surprised :rolleyes:

I really have no idea. All I can say is that yesterday I experienced no probs at all!

[sunandoghosh]

yesterday from here India probably means it was morning of today from USA...

so anybody experienced daniweb inaccessible at morning (early morning hours) apart from me and if yes can u say why it was inaccessible...,

thanks regards

We have been experiencing problems lately with our cron script which makes automatic backups of our database. These backups bring our load up too high for about a minute, making the site accessible for about 30-60 seconds. We're currently working very hard with our hosting provider to resolve this as soon as possible.

thanks for the reply...i initially thought there was some problem from my side...

thanks

From the length of time that you are saying it was unavailable, does not match the length of downtime that cscgal states the script seems to create. If you could PM cscgal a copy of a traceroute if you experience this issue again, it will help her troubleshoot the issue. :cool:

FYI:
To get a traceroute on a windows system:
start -> run -> CMD
tracert www.daniweb.com

i agree...but i am not exaggerating either.......If you could PM cscgal a copy of a traceroute if you experience this issue again, it will help her troubleshoot the issue. FYI: To get a traceroute on a windows system:start -> run -> CMD tracert www.daniweb.com

although i dont understand how it exactly fucntions but yes i will surely do that should it ever happen again...

thanks so much

hey buddy out of curiousity i did a tracert test now and see in attachment what i got (surprises me as i can access the site but trace rt is not giving anything...what is it supposed to give)??????????

[blud]

It looks like your internet provider doesn't allow traceroutes. This makes it a little more difficult in troubleshooting the issue. :o

[sunandoghosh]

ok...anyways...i think its a rare or infrequent problem so its ok anyways...

thanks for support

fyi, I was getting some strange messages about daniweb not being able to open a forum (it was a techtalk forum and random forum number) for about three days. It came up periodically but has not for the last day. I´ll keep you posted if it re-occurs...
