Internal Server Error popping up
« Reply #44 on: June 13, 2011, 10:14:12 PM »
Seeing the below quite a bit lately here on amiga.org, just browsing the site. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm logged in or not.



Internal Server Error

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

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@amiga.org 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.
Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at amiga.org Port 80

Yes, I flagged this up the other day. From what I can tell, it's a dodgy vBulletin hook. From a developer's point of view, vBulletin makes use of one of the nastiest PHP features ever conceived, namely the dreaded eval() call.
int p; // A

It seems an old bug has resurfaced:

Right, so last night I disabled a vBulletin module that may be responsible for some of the 500 errors.

The thing is, it's tricky to diagnose with precision (since there may be other factors at work), so we'll have to keep an eye on the error log to see if it was the cause or at least a significant factor.

I had one or two since, but nothing like as many as previously. How's everybody else doing?

Seen it for days. Just saw it again. Refreshed the page and it appeared again.

Just once during the last week, some slowdowns noticed but not so severe.

For the past several months the site has been loading unbearably slowly for me.
There is nothing wrong with my ISP or the DNS I'm using, and I can ping the site with reasonable results.
The server just isn't pumping the bits fast enough.  It takes up to a minute to load any page.  Just as before, no other site is giving me issues, the problem persists even when I'm using different internet connections in different cities, and whenever I've encountered these types of problems with other forums I visit, it was confirmed to be the server at fault.
I just can't deal with this anymore.  It's not worth the frustration.

Amiga.org has over 8 billion members served. If they are all on at the same time it slows down the site.

In my case, I strongly suspect the problem is down to my ISP. It isn't the first time problems their end has screwed with my access, but it's interesting to note I'm not alone.


i have some slowdown from here too and sometime an "internal server error" page.

I'll take a screengrab next time it happens.

Wow, I feel lucky now.  I'm accessing the site through a spit-wad of an ISP that is all through satellites (Iraq to Norway, now to Kuwait) and then bounced all over creation.

I have never had a problem getting onto or navigating speed-wise this site without their being another issue like dense cloud cover or strong winds.

Just now when opening several tabs some don't load but need to be stopped and reloaded to get them to work.

Mine is considerably slow. I think it started around the time of the great switch over a while ago. I'd say 1 in 3 or 4 times my browser times out. I know it's Amiga.org because all my other internet surfing is lightning fast.

P.s. what's the fastest cat in the world? :kitty:

MEEEOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

Been experiencing some 500 errors again tonight along with some slowdown. Just though I would make you guys aware. They all seemed to be around 1am - 3am GMT.
