Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
fixed now, tep. There was a missing quotation mark in a tag. (And Go Team Firefox for displaying the page anyway instead of breaking it altogether!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm just wondering outloud here, but wouldn't a 404 error indicate a problem with Apache (the web server) rather than with the database or the php code?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yup. I don't know where to being with an intermittent one of those.

What, specificly, causes a 404? Is it that the browser makes a page request and the server never replies? Or is it before that, when a DNS server says the server you're trying to connect to doesn't exist?
I'm thinking it's the latter. If the page request goes to the server and the server never replies, you just get a timeout, right?

404s are returned by the web server, if you ask for a page that it doesn't think exists.
The page you get if the domain doesn't exist is dependent on the browser. Opera will tell me there's a network problem. I'm not sure what message you get if the domain exists but doesn't have a web server at that port.

Oh. Of course. Don't know what I was thinking there.
Is every page request on the server logged? If so, and if you knew the time the error occured and the IP address of the user, could you look at the log to find out exactly what the browser was asking for?
My guess is that this isn't the problem--that the browser requests that result in a 404 are in fact correct, but if it's easy to do then we could rule out client-side wonkiness.

I just have a few little things to change. Then I need software to load-test the server (which I can do myself once I have the software).
