Busy Server.. WHAT?, Again?
- Thread starter tunsty
- Start date
I haven't been at FO as regularly as I used to be because of this issue, so I haven't been able to consistently check the progress of this issue, but indeed it seems to be getting WORSE, not better.
Is a solution in the works?

I think so too. Every now and then I have to refresh a few times (less than 10 usually) but overall it seems to be getting better. :thumbsup:
lol yea same here, F5 F5 F5 F5:crash:
As a webmaster who owns a highly visited vbulletin website, I think I can sympathize with the owners of FreeOnes here. Guys, running a site like this (especially this super populated one) takes maintenance, and more importantly - MONEY. I pay about $150/month for my site and probably get less than half the traffic on a daily basis that FreeOnes gets. If my guesses are correct, that should help put things into perspective for some folks.
Yeah, I've been getting the error too, yes, it's annoying and yes, I'd prefer if it didn't happen anymore. I also realize that porn isn't going to disappear overnight. Sit back, relax for a bit. Let the admins take care of it and give us updates on what is happening as they see fit.
Remember - this is FREEones.com, not "WTFIsThisBS-I'mPaying$99.95PerMonthSoIDeserveABetterWebsite.com". And as long as it's free, be glad, all quirks aside.

Not in many cases. While you can load balance the front-end, as HTTP is rather simplistic, the SQL distribution is more complex.
I have to assume LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) is in use here. The fastest performing deployment of MySQL in a multi-server farm is many read-only replicas, and one write-only master. In fact, that's the staple web approach that made MySQL very popular -- because it solves that common, web design (write one, full record to one instance, read many, many times from other instances), instead of full, traditional, ACID approaches where most implementations have legacy to Ingres/Postgres (e.g., MS SQL, Oracle, Sybase, etc...). Multi-master replication is far, far more difficult, and requires more complex software and administration.
I would assume the messages are due because of too many commits -- i.e., transactions that actually write to the master databaes. So adding more Apache with read-only MySQL replicas in a round-round option wouldn't solve that, because the commits/writes go to the single, master server. Records are created for vBB for many things, including searches.
If anything about the only tunable you could do is cap the number of posts, searches and other things that cause a commit, and favor dynamic content generation of pages/threads that are read-only. But people who still cause a commit would still see the message.
Another, general option is to throttle the number of requests from the same client with the same cookie/session (IP won't cut it). E.g., I use Firefox and can regularly found guilty of middle-clicking countless links -- 10, 20 even 30+ sometimes. I'm causing the server to dynamically generate content when I do.
There are other options that could be looked at. Just throwing more hardware is not the solution here. I regularly have to smack Java developers with a stick on Wall Street who keep pointing the finger at infrastructure when it's their implementation and open-ended attitude to capacity and performance.

was this planned all along? or am i just to blind to have read it in previous posts? if i knew this was happeneing i wouldn't have kept posting here that i keep getting the busy server screen.
I just switched the DNS to a new server. So we're running on a brand new server right now. Master and Slave databases configured on 2 other dedicated servers .
We've dedicated 3 servers to the board now. Please dont break it
Anyway, if you still have problems , server busy messages or other general server issues, let us know.
Thank you
