'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
First off I want to shut the board down, and test connections on the command line, so our code isn't part of the issue.
Secondly, we start hunting for a host with higher limits.
Thirdly, which can be concurrent with secondly, the code gets reviewed again.
Tom, you do understand that Fangeek, meaning me, doesn't actually have access to the server?
Whoops, sorry. I meant our ISP when I said Fangeek.
Have I mentioned recently that you guys are all awfully cool? I'm still stuck in the mindset of over a year ago, which is "Holy crap, we have our own board. These people started with nothing and they made an entire board." I live in awe.
Whoops, sorry.
No problemo. I just wanted to make sure everyone realized that I don't actually have access to the server itself. It would be much easier if I did.
In this as in so many other things...
Begins plotting takeover of the universe by a brilliant, foamy snark of Buffistae.
So who wants to give the Buffistas a nice new Xserve and the a place to hook it up to some bandwidth?
Someone?
Anyone?
Pretty Please?
You're saying that we need either a patron, a lottery win, or a sugar daddy?
Hell, I could use one of those three...
What are the usage parameters we're looking for?
The problem, as I understand it, isn't "usage parameters." It's finding a host who's willing to work with us to figure out what bug, at their end, could be causing our connections to max out. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that there are some obscure MySQL/PHP parameters that need to be tweaked, but it's not stuff that we have access to. Only the root user can get at them.
