Problems with accessing sub forums?

Post by **mario** » 13 Feb 2011, 10:37

Recently, I've been having a little bit of difficulty with posting, or even accessing the forum. Sometimes, when I click on a link, I end up getting the following message:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Is anybody else having similar problems?

That's been happening to me a lot lately, and it gets annoying when it takes 5 attempts to load the page.

EDIT: And you'll never guess what happened when I tried to see this post.

That's what you get for using the DET craptops to access F1 Rejects at school Rhys :lol:

Then again I've had the same problem both at home and at school.

Same here.

Yes, it's been happening ocasionally for sometime now (probably a couple of weeks).

Also confirmed. I will mention, when I'm making a post, if I get the Internal Server Error after hitting "Submit", the post does actually go through, it's just I don't get to see it instantly.

I've had this problem too.

This is pure speculation on my part, but perhaps it has something to do with load on the server? Too many users posting at one time causes it to go down temproarily perhaps?

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 13 Feb 2011, 16:42

Occasionally I've had this problem too. What I do is go away for 10 minutes or so and come back here and it's usually fine again.

I've got this problem and someone keeps trying to hack my account, which is even better.

How do you know if they're trying to hack your account?

Because they're failing and the website is telling me there are too many attempts to log my account in with the wrong password, so it's making me answer a question to prove I'm human each time I log in.

In which case, I've got that problem too. I was wondering why I was being told why I had too many unsuccessful login attempts...

Same problem as dr-baker and thehemogoblin here... :shock:

I've had this little problem several times this evening, but nothing the F5 button can't solve. As for someone trying to hack my account, no-one has tried to do it on my account so far luckily. Maybe those Indian hackers are back?

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 14 Feb 2011, 01:50

Thtat login problem happened yesterday for me... strange, since I have it set to automatically log in...

DanielPT · Post by **DanielPT** » 14 Feb 2011, 10:54

I also had that hacker problem. Two times last week... Changed my password because of it.

Post by **tommykl** » 14 Feb 2011, 12:10

Same thing here. I'll probably change my password when I get home (being at school and all).

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 14 Feb 2011, 14:21

Thankfully, I have had no such problems.

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 14 Feb 2011, 15:09

Now I'm getting this:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Too many connections [1040]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

I have been having this issue as well. If it persists I will get Jamie to look into it.

What, there's hackers coming onto F1 Rejects? I'm changing my password.

cretoxyrhina · Post by **cretoxyrhina** » 16 Feb 2011, 22:20

Same sql error as Jeroen everytime I tried to open the forum on a computer. I even can't open the main forum page. This is posted via mobile.

No hacker problems, though (yet...)

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 16 Feb 2011, 22:26

I couldn't access the forum at all yesterday, kept getting the general error thing. I received the password thing again today, so something's going on.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 16 Feb 2011, 23:52

I had problems to access the forum today in the morning and part of the evening thanks to that SQL error.

tristan1117 · Post by **tristan1117** » 17 Feb 2011, 01:32

Yesterday, I finally got the bug and started to have this problem as well. After about 9-10 refreshes, I gave up and did something else for a half hour.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 18 Feb 2011, 13:32

Yesterday at night (in Spain) it was impossible to access the forum. Something seems to be wrong somewhere.

Do I get a red name while he's in there? It'd match my avatar!

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 23 Feb 2011, 00:49

Well, just today I had the too many attempts to login in little time issue. I'll watch out for if this happens again.

Yeah I've had that too now. By the looks of things it seems to be getting steadily worse.

Time for a change of forum software perhaps?

Collieafc · Post by **Collieafc** » 23 Feb 2011, 09:56

I got the hacking problem about a month ago, but ive also had the 404, the SQL error and, worryingly, a 500 error within the last week a LOT

Jeroen Krautmeir · Post by **Jeroen Krautmeir** » 23 Feb 2011, 13:07

Just when I thought it was over, I just received another 500 Int Server error.

I liked that oh-so-brief period of peace we had. It just took me 9 attempts to get into the JDD forum. And 12 more to post this message. What is going on? Some of the smilies haven't even loaded properly!

Yes, I am affraid I had similar problems a few minutes ago. Says the page is unavailable and then, sometimes, posts a few php errors complete with their trace, calling it all php-debug. Ah, almost forgot the sql database errors...

Collieafc · Post by **Collieafc** » 03 Mar 2011, 12:44

I couldnt even get as far as that. I kept getting "site unavailable" (or something like that) on my browser

dr-baker · Post by **dr-baker** » 03 Mar 2011, 16:08

I had some problems around the last time I posted in this thread but haven't had many problems since, other than a few pictures/smilies not loading occasionally.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 06 Mar 2011, 19:26

Today I've had a crazy amount of problems, 403 Forbidden pages, 'No input specified' pages, 'General Error' phpBB pages amongst others. Definately the worst I've ever seen it. Anyone else had any of these?

Had this problem 5 minutes ago. Went to Facebook and Hotmail then returned here and it was OK again - so far...

EDIT: Then I immediately had problems again and can only access this again 1/2 hour later and will now give up and go to bed... Early morning...

I got these too a little while ago - it seems to be okay for now... *crosses fingers*
