Yeah, very frequent in these couple of days. Is there a sudden surge of new members?

Bitcoin is becoming very popular. BitcoinTalk is going to have to increase bandwidth.

Of course, it may have been a DDoS attack.

Definitely. I already used ctrl+c before post for caution but now draft option works perfect.
I posted some long messages while site was giving Bad Gateway.

I think that someone is trying to brute-force passwords. Bad login attempts were handled very badly/slowly. I fixed the performance issues there, though the brute-forcing is presumably still going on. I don't have time look into it. A single IP can attempt logging in no more often than once per 45 seconds, though, so it shouldn't be too easy to brute-force passwords.

Every once in a while it seems to go down briefly. I guess it's just due to heavy traffic or ddos-ing.

Same here.

Surely it wont work if you preview it and the site 502s though?

By the way: Even if your post fails with some error, a draft is likely to get saved. The draft is saved before most errors can occur.

I get it once or twice a day, just refresh and it loads. Not a huge problem in my case.

10 seconds or more to load a page, and a 50/50 chance it'll 502 at the end of it..

Drafts are auto-saved......every whatever minutes......or seconds, ask theymos.

We're all familiar on how web-mail draft function works, right? right ???

As far as I can tell so far it doesn't save unless you preview it.

Out of curiosity, is there a single server behind Bitcointalk.org? Or is it a HAProxy front to the cluster?

Because it could as well be both...

Happens to me mostly during the evenings (forum hours). Maybe the load on the forums increases and it can't cope with traffic.


Title: Re: 502 BAD GATEWAY
Post by: KIRAZ on March 20, 2014, 06:49:17 PM
Yes, just happened with me was going through the forum posts and certainly the error pulled up, could be because of excessive load on server.

I too have noticed this message many times when I visit this site.  Things have been somewhat better lately but I always just got the feeling that this was due to high traffic?  I really don't know what the scoop is on the issue but I'd say it's not as bad as it used to be on my end.

You don't have time to look into it? Seriously? Why don't you spend some of that 6000 BTC to hire someone who has time to look into it. Seriously.

Pretty bad today :(


Title: Re: 502 BAD GATEWAY
Post by: theymos on March 22, 2014, 02:46:25 AM
Today's 502s were due to a bug. I fixed it.

Specifically, when certain URLs were given to the image proxy, they caused the script to hang for 30 seconds and eat up connection slots because PHP's fopen() apparently doesn't respect timeouts in some cases. I'm not sure whether someone intentionally exploited this to take down the site, or whether it was accidental. Anyway, I changed the script to not rely on PHP for handling timeouts.
