In a few hours I'm going to switch to nginx from Apache, so there might be a long period of downtime while I get it working.

Did the downtime occur yet, and does that explain why I don't see any avatars in threads?

yes nginx, uses a different way of handling each connection then apache so the performance should be better

You may want to consider some nginx tuning as well if you haven't already tried.

No, it was a good idea. I just wasn't able to do it properly with the old Apache setup (which was somewhat broken). I also converted some tables to InnoDB as recommended at your link. Most of the suggestions there involved disabling useful features, though, which I'm not going to do. Thanks for the tip.

I think there is an improvement, but it might just some kind of placebo effect since I knew changes were being made!
There were a few minutes of down time. Maybe some people left. Wait until another peek time. Theymos, do you have any say bandwidth stats that show when the forums are the most heavily used? I know they all weren't good or usable, but something like the icons the way it explained it seemed like it could be super helpful.

InnoDB has lots of tuning options that can dramatically impact performance, especially the buffer pool size, but you probably already know that.

I just got notified via the normal popup that I had a new PM, but when I went to my PMs, nothing new. Not sure if there's a bug or what.
Somebody send me a PM to see if it's still doing it, or if I was seeing things.
Edit: Somebody did send me a PM and all seems fine. It's possible I may have been seeing things, for something was implemented where I now get micro-popups, like you see when a page automatically refreshes.

I allowed mysql to take too much memory, and it was killed by the oom killer. I didn't notice for a long time. This particular thing shouldn't happen again.
By the way, the current ads will get at least one extra day due to all this downtime and slowness.

For lack of a better place to post this concern, short of starting a new thread:
For the past couple three days, I seem to be getting more than my fair share of 502 BAD GATEWAY errors.
Just a heads-up, theymos. Oh, and BTW, thanks for fuckin' up my hobby thread. Some people may have had pleasure viewing all those animated GIF avatars in the OP, but not anymore thanks to their URL links being changed.
Later, bud.

Yeah, I restarted the database so I can maybe see what's happening.
It looks like there's more than enough free memory. free reports 1250 MB free memory minus buffers, and smem gives similar stats. But for some reason Linux uses swap a lot (causing slowness) and occasionally the OOM killer kills php-fpm processes (causing 502 errors), so I guess there isn't actually enough memory. Anyone know what might be causing this?

Try mysqltuner theymos, you may have improper size buffers set. After that just install memcached, method is different depending on the OS, and enable the option in the SMF admin area. Mysql will be more than grateful after that

Strangely enough I have only ever gotten one 502 in the last few days. What browsers are you all using?
I'm going to find some way of upgrading the hardware. There's probably some way to get more performance out of this hardware, but I don't know how.

I experienced a lot of 502 errors about 2-3 days ago, but since then I've had a perfectly fine connection. Maybe even quicker than usual, though it may just seem that way since it was loading pretty damn slow during those couple days.

If you tell us everything you know i would be happy to help. And yes, upgrading the hardware is certainly the right thing to do. The error log has too many trivial errors. I wasn't able to immediately find the 502s. I may look into it more later.
Most probably the 502s are caused by the php-fpm daemon, you won't find a lot of info on nginx/logs/error.log, it will just say "your php-fpm sucks".

502s again at 15:15 CET on IE 8.0.7601.17514 (don't judge ) / Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 That's interesting. I have none. Yesterday I had some during the same time as you with my normal connection (from Germany) Today US proxy and none. Probably just coincidence.

I don't think it's connection related. I'm connected via X-WiN/GÉANT 2/Internet2 right now.

I use chrome as well. I've tested it when I get the 502's and I'll open Firefox 19 and get the same error. Only lasts for a minute or two. When you first switched, it was longer, now, just momentarily.

The last two days I've been getting major lag again. I just had a couple errors on Chrome saying that the server shut down the connection, or something like that. First time I had seen the error.

I improved some more settings and restarted the web server.
I will probably switch to a much more powerful server in a week or two. I've been making arrangements.

Can we know the details so that we can help?

Getting the 502 error every couple of hours or so.
Spawn more overlords fastcgi instances. PHP-FPM has this adaptive spawning feature to handle load spikes. If you are memory starved you can do a custom PHP build (--disable-all and enable only what SMF is using) which will make the processes a lot leaner.

The forum is neraly unsualble today.
I hope we are ddosed or something. If not this really needs to be fixed ASAP. It's not OK if the forum collapses everytime we get a huge amount of visitors.

The point is that we could help... Hell I manage 50M pageviews daily... But there is no collaboration at all from the admin.
It must be a plot to make bitcoin look less professional so that we have more time unitil it explodes.

I agree. I had multiple 500 errors today (500, 502, and 503), and it seems like the forum was completely down for quite a while. theymos, was this because of new changes again? We need to be more pro-active about forum stability and software if we want to match forum growth, and the growth of Bitcoin as a whole.

We need to be more pro-active about forum stability and software if we want to match forum growth, and the growth of Bitcoin as a whole. Same here. This is the first time I've been able to stay on BT for an extended period of time, and have no guarantee that I'll be able to post this post. I've had the 500, 502, and 503 errors as well all day. Along with an SSL warning of some type via Chrome (using Vista on laptop) and another really weird warning I've never seen before, nor bother to remember. Taxing my memory, it read similar to an SSL type warning, yet completely different. Any chance the meteor had anything to do with this? Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ EDIT: Had a 504 (first time) Gateway Problem when I posted this and this is the first time I've been able to get back on BT. Compare timestamps with original and edit version of this post to see the difference.

theymos, it is time to make a choice. This forum is running on the crappiest forum software out there. SMF 1 was released in 2003, that's 10 years ago. It is still using <tables> for formatting for crying out loud. This dinosaur cannot support a community like this. Even SMF 2 would be an improvement at this point. A faster server won't make the problem go away, it's just like patching a wound with duct tape.
Your other post about developing forum software makes absolutely no sense. Even if you paid 3 people to develop custom forum software it would take months for a working solution and at least a year for it to become stable enough. It's only a case with big companies that they develop their own forum software, the reason being that it's a huge undertaking to do something like that. There are many commercial options available right now which are already deployed on websites handling 50K+ concurrent visitors. They all support plugins so bitcoin specific parts can be developed by the community after the fact.

Just had one myself. It's taking upwards of two minutes to load a page, if it loads at all.

No. Traffic is much higher, but I don't know exactly why it gets so slow. Memory usage seems fine now. Things improve after I restart mysql, php-fpm, etc., but then the site gradually slows down over time. As I said, I'm making arrangements to move to a better server. This isn't as easy as it sounds because I don't (and won't) control any of the forum's critical assets other than the BTC. So I need to get someone trustworthy to buy the server (this part seems OK, but not done yet), and I need to get Sirius to update the DNS (I haven't heard from him yet).

Damn, didn't know that, so cloudflare is out of the question. I would be more than happy to help out if needed, just ask.

Any estimated time frame on the server buy? I knew traffic was getting higher, but I'm surprised it's had this much of an affect on the site. I guess there's a silver lining in all the lag, at least.

I don't think that it's a bandwidth/DDoS problem. I think that the server's hardware is just too weak to handle this much traffic. Any estimated time frame on the server buy?
Less than a week, hopefully.
