The network is busy.. — Forum Archive

If you see the error above while surfing, let me know.

Basically this means the database server is saturated, so I'll have to mail technical support (again :rolleyes: )

20 Jan 2003, 21:48

finally i can post! i've been getting that error message every time i try to post. :mad:

20 Jan 2003, 22:52

Yes, damn hosting company :mad:

I'll move in the next few weeks for sure, let's hope it will be reliable...!

21 Jan 2003, 07:54

I hate the way it gives you a 'unable to display page' message when you try and 'submit reply' - thus making you send a blank message and look like an idiot.

21 Jan 2003, 09:26

21 Jan 2003, 09:49

I also hate the way IExplorer throws away the error message it gets from the site and substitutes a generic 'unable to display page' message. Its part of microsoft's general policy of treating the user like an idiot who shouldn't worry their pretty little head about technical stuff.

21 Jan 2003, 11:00

I hate the way the demons in my head command me to, uh, nevermind.

No problems here in the last couple of days.

Happy Answer from our host:

apologize for the delay but the issue required some investigation. This has been traced to the Network Operations Center being forced to limit your site on the server to stop its negative affects. This was determined by the large log files generated by your site which are an indication of CPU usage, memory usage, and bandwidth. Your site was having a negative impact on the server’s reliability which was indicated by your log files. The best resolution to this issue would be to upgrade your account to a Enterprise account or leasing a dedicated server. The Enterprise accounts are allowed more processor time, memory usage, etc. Dedicated servers are built/prepared for the customer and turned over allowing full control of the entire server. Please contact us or respond to this message to upgrade your account and ensure the continued reliability of your site. If we can assist you with anything else please let us know. Thank you for choosing Nexpoint Technologies Inc.

I've been trying all day to let everyone know I loved 24HPP, and I keep getting "the network is busy" :mad:

the network is :headoff: :violent:

22 Jan 2003, 15:37

seems like on some threads i can post, and others i can't, if that helps

22 Jan 2003, 20:20

grrr. i tried to post on the notwist thread for the past couple days..

22 Jan 2003, 20:20

how come this thread works?

22 Jan 2003, 22:59

I managed to post here, next time, it's "the network is busy".. Sébastien is getting Error 500 (because he has the simplified errors)

Now this is SICK.. I don't think we're using this kind of bandwidth, and right now the site is not working at all.. I can't add any news without having this error or anything.. all writing operation to the database generates this..

:\pissedoff:

Prepare yourselves, we're switching host, but this could take a few days, as they are configuring the server right now.. looks like we'll have the machine all for ourselves for a while.

I am sick of this... :barf:

I only managed to post one misspelt message on tuesday, then I couldn't correct the misspelt bit. Then I was unable to post at all yesterday, and today it took me 3 tries to register a profile signature. As I only have a very limited time during which I can post, this really sucks. Now I've been trying to correct thursday into tuesday for I don't know how many times. :\pissedoff:

All these technical difficulties point to one thing. This must now be the Official New Order Website.

Jeez, somebody let me know when this is fixed, I can't deal with the disappointment of seeing "the network is busy"

23 Jan 2003, 13:02

We're now limited to 7 kb/s

:clap:

:\pissedoff:

There is nothing they will do, they say we used 40 Gb of bandwidth per month recently.. I find that hard to believe... :skeptic:

23 Jan 2003, 15:09

I'm quite happy to bung you some dosh if the cost of a new more reliable host is more expensive, and I know I won't be alone in this. Have the CDs arrived yet ?

24 Jan 2003, 06:37

Of course New Order themselves could solve this by making the site official and providing a reliable host, but then again they could start playing Perfect Kiss again as well !

24 Jan 2003, 06:45

Nik,

i can acces the site fine @ work, but if i try on my home PC i get the Http Error 500

24 Jan 2003, 08:52

24 Jan 2003, 08:57

So what's going to happen now? The site seems to have gone very quiet, full of empty posts. Sounds formed in a vacuum, even.

Yeah, I'm getting "network is busy" on the majority of my posts. :shrug:

24 Jan 2003, 12:08

Now I'm at a netcafe, and it seems to be working fine.

24 Jan 2003, 12:09

this is a total pain in the arse....one minute I can post, the next, not a scooby.

this kinda runs hand in hand with the order....one minute everything's working....the next :evil4:

24 Jan 2003, 12:11

Seems theres more chance of predicting the lottery than knowing if ya post is gonna go up at the moment :lol:

24 Jan 2003, 12:38

My company has its own crap server, and the netcafe uses one of the leading ones in Croatia, so that might be the point.

24 Jan 2003, 17:16

It seems to be practically impossible to do a "reply with quote."

I don't mean to be alarmist, but the network problem is ruining this site - if everyone can't vote/post we do not get a clear picture. Please delay all elimination votes until the problem is fixed. This SUCKS!

24 Jan 2003, 21:42

The less data your post have, the more chance you have it will work.. as stupid as that.

It's not a matter of money, but it's a matter of having the new server set up, this could take a few days, then we'll move.

Sorry about that.. there is nothing I can do, the host decided to change the way it was working because NOOL is too popular...

Except refresh time seems rather slow. And there's nobody here.

Hum.. I'm uploading, so that might be the problem.

Otherwise we'll figure it out.

If it turns to be too slow, we'll have to find a way to have a better hosting, but this means, sponsors.. :(

12 Feb 2003, 15:16

Actually, the refresh time seems to be speeding up...it was very slow this morning, this afternoon it seems to be much better...

but hey, at least I can frigging post again!!!!

How does it feel????
