Good morning all
Apologies for the site issues. It seems there was an attack on the server. The Server Folk are working on it and tracing it. There may be some ups and downs for a couple of days. Hopefully minimal downs.
Thanks for your patience!
Cheers
Paul

What's the size of GTAM database if it's not a secret? Maybe we can mirror/move it elsewhere. Reliable hosting is cheap these days. I'm paying $5US/month for 150GB and unlimited traffic. Tons of goodies included too.

I don't think the issue is bandwidth or db size related but rather that the back-end db is MySQL and all providers limit how many concurrent db connections a single user may have or GTAM is hitting the max connections per hour count. One possible fix is having a connection pool or even just dispersing the load on certain sections of the forum to use different db users or different db's or better yet just get there own server and have control of how many connections are allowed.
But in this cause I don't think the db has anything to do with this, think the box the site is being hosted on is likely just being dos attacked.

I asked about DB size and threw bandwidth in the equation because I'm just curious and can't gauge if the host I'm using (1and1.com) would be the right one for GTAM. I'm pretty sure it would be more reliable and less prone to DOS attacks though. Can't speak for MYSQL or other database details - not my area of expertise.

Here it is!
Paul if your paying attention to this discussion here is how you can upgrade the amount of concurrent connections in vBulletin, this will essentially allow you to have unlimited connections as most providers put a limit on how many connections per user and not on how many connections to the db. So long as you can create multiple users within that db, which I'm sure you can, then this should be all GTAM needs.

The spreading of data over multiple db's is not supported so this is an excellent option.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure that database connections are still an issue. (Since we moved to the new server). But thanks for that thread Dave...I'll try that when it/if it does become an issue again. The recent issues were/are a DDOS attack. Things seem more stable now...Keep reporting anytime it goes down though.
Thanks

Paul RogersOh..I guess I should update regarding the server...hehehe! There was a DOS attack earlier this week....that seems to be under control but has created some other issues. We're getting it narrowed down and hopfully we'll be up and okay.
If you do notice the site down - or any errors...please post here so we can get this taken care of once and for all.
Thanks
Paul
