Server woes

[Kevin Clark]

Thanks for the comments guys. It's good to know when there are little problems that sprout up every now and then so we can try and correct them. In revieving the server error logs the majority of server side problems are connectivity issues between our web server (http request) and the SQL server (the database). They are two seperate servers in two diffrent racks in two diffrent parts of the data center. It's an internal routing issue that rears it's head when too many request come in at the same time. It's not a server load problem at all but more like a routing request thing.

There are still some PHP/SQL things still going on that are affecting some minor functionality in various places -  for example you may have noticed that the spell check option is not an option anymore when you create a message. That's because that feature relies on the PSpell library in the PHP module. The library was not installed as part of the PHP upgrade initally but has since been added... and it still refuses to work. It's little things like this that make you go bald over time and keep you home on friday nights when you should be out knocking back a few tall ones ;-)
