TFL Server Problem
Just wondering if it is my computer or not.
Anybody else that could not open up the Forum for the last 2 days? Kept getting notice that TFL had a server problem, if so thought maybe TFL would post a notice to that effect. Regards |

I had the same problem. Perhaps the server was out of town for the Holiday?

tfl down
I was starting to get the shakes from withdrawls. Wow, that was close!!! Haven't felt that way since I left the Marines. I just snuggled in with one of my favorite rifles until it came back up. All kidding aside, it did make for a longer weekend. I hadn't realized how often I check TFL out. Good shooting all.

Anytime you see the message
500 Internal Server Error That typically indicates there is a problem with the database serving TFL. All the messages are stored in a database and the software that presents the data found some kind of "fatal" problem that prevents it from working correctly. Rather than provide bad results, it displays the error message. Depending on what DB product is being used, the administrator will perform some maintenance procedures to correct the situation. In the worst case, the staff has to reload the database from a backup copy. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 24 hours, depending on the size of the database.

Bill has pretty much nailed it.
Nothing really to do with the server. SWATMag was functioning fine as were some other areas that are all on the same server. |

Actually, it's not the db. The php processes have been dying, leaving the poor web server with nothing to talk to.
The reason swat was not affected is that it runs from a different webserver and a different database process.

More trouble this morning it seems. I'm going to the colo tomorrow to look at it, but at least rebooting seems to solve the problem temporarily. Hopefully it won't crash again between now and then.
