Me too. Not a total party pooper, but I do get errors some times.

Well, after all this work, that's disheartening to hear!!! :sad:

I've sent a help request to them to ask what's up, and we'll see what they say.

I'll post updates here.

at this moment, it's fast as lightning (like most of the times since the move). about six hours ago, i just closed planetZ because of the waiting time. i even got some kind of message telling me i couldn't get to the page for a reason i can't recall.

The ISP reported back to me that they are NOT throttling my account in any way, and that they see no problems with the server. Hmmm.

How is performance for you guys now? Still seeing problems?

It's Ok and fast right now.

Sometimes I got this message: 'Can't connect to the database' - sometimes for days!

This happened to one of my forums (the same version than this, phpBB 1) after the provider upgraded to a newer version of PHP (4, I think).

So I had to copy a little patch from the makers of phpBB into one of it's folders - and it worked immediatedly.

No errors since then.

That's one of the big problems we were having at the old webhost, which I hope has been solved on the new server. Were you having this problem in the last 2 weeks, or before then? (I moved to the new server on Sept 12).

Thanks.

I'm afraid I got the msg on the new server. Hadn't noticed it far as much on the old server.

John,
I haven't had any problems since 12th Sept.

In case the server has a newer version of PHP (likely!,4.2.0), here's the patch:

find (functions.php):

Code:
setcookie($cookiename,$sessid,'',$cookiepath,$cookiedomain,$cookiesecure);

replace with:

Code:
setcookie($cookiename,$sessid,0,$cookiepath,$cookiedomain,$cookiesecure);

It worked for me.

Request Time-out
Server timeout waiting for the HTTP request from the client.

i never had it on the old server, but now i get it every few days. i don't know what it means, hope it can help.
