The site is very slow...

[smerf]

No Amiga.org runs on Linux. Everyone that seems to be having problems accessing it though is using Windows.

HUH!!!

Probably using those darn MACS, they would slow down any site. Rather use a Radio Shack TRS 80 then a MAC, at least it would have some class.

People in the KNOW use a PC with Linux and Windows for Cloanto's Amiga Forever.

@smerf

You laugh now but we are upgrading Amiga.org to a TRS 80 web server in the near future.

@CritAnime:

I hear what you're saying but I'm not getting the same issues.  I wonder if there is something between your ISP and A.ORG that isn't jiving.  I've had that happen before with Software Hut.  For some crazy reason, I couldn't access their site directly from my home PC, but my neighbors on a different service had no problems...

Just a thought since it seems to be a minority of people having this issue.

Hi,

Model I or Model II, it does make a difference you know.

Always thinking ahead, that's what I like about this place. :lol:

I'd go for the Model 100.

What's up with this? This seems to happen a lot...

[zipper]

Just got my first 500 error 40 mins ago.

[J-Golden]

I've been tracking everyone's posted problems and traced them back to one unifying factor...  THE DAY FRANKO LEFT!!!!

I can only figure that now that Franko is no longer issuing posts at speeds faster then Superman, the owners of the ISP housing the server has cut back the bandwidth and it is now TOO low for normal traffic!

There is only one way to get things back to working status... WE MUST FIND AND RECONNECT FRANKO TO THE INNERWEBZ!!!

Now, for this quest I'll need two humans; one a ranger with identity issues and the other a warrior that can't keep his hands off of jewelry; a dwarf played by a much taller man; An elf with a British accent who likes to play with pirates; and four hobbits; an idiot, the idiot’s friend who is only marginally smarter, a failure of a college footballer, and one who has such a large gap in his teeth, people confuse him with the mad hatter.

I'm getting errors and slowness here as well. Its not my ISP or computer because I'm getting the same thing on my computer at work.

[Duce]

Aye, very slow here as well, with the occasional error.

I've identified what may be the cause of most of the 500 errors. It's an old bug, originally reported by Piru:

http://www.amiga.org/forums/project.php?issueid=62

This is the fault of a 3rd party module that the site is which uses a vBulletin "hook" (injects some code) that thanks to a lack of sanity checking fails fatally on evaluation, causing the 500 error.

Disabling the module is not an option for now, I've added a quick work-around (injects the required sanity checks into the hook - lol, injecting the injected code...) that should hopefully mitigate the issue until such time that the actual module itself can be updated/fixed.

Karlos has set the sanity injectors 10! Close your eyes!  :lol:

[Karlos]

Well I haven't seen a single 500 crop up in the error log since then. The site still lags at times though, but that's likely a different issue.

I know, it's very rare that I actually inject sanity into something :lol:
