Site is crawling along

I am now seeing massive delays - part waiting for the site and the rest waiting for Google Analytics - has this started early and messed something up

Planned Community Site Maintenance - Wednesday 26th August Midday-6.00pm
Portal
Posted on: Wednesday 26 August 2009, 11:40
When's this work happening?
This afternoon.
What does it affect?
The servers used to host our Community website.
How long will it take?
Up to five hours.
What does the work involve?
We will be moving some of the servers used to host our Community Site to a new data centre in Sheffield.
Is it likely to cause problems?
No it shouldn't do, the master servers are housed in a different data centre and aren't being moved as part of this work.
Is there anything else I need to know?
No.
Kind Regards,
Bob Pullen

Re: Site is crawling along

It's almost ground to a halt.  Angry  Guess it's to do with the servers being moved but surely this problem could have been anticipated and the work done at a more sensible time.

Yep - We weren't expecting any impact!
Bob 's getting a service status out currently and we'll try and get things back to normal as soon as possible.
I'm going to get a coffee Wink

Re: Site is crawling along

Service Status here. Initial thoughts are that we're hitting the maximum limit for database connections. More news as we have it...

Re: Site is crawling along

We are now running dual hamsters in a CAGE-1 configuration.
We're looking into the root cause, but we've applied a workaround in the interim.
