Title: Forum doesn't work properly
Post by: Dmitry on November 08, 2022, 11:18:19 AM
Dear friends, we noticed that in November 2022 forum returns `Internal Server Error' when one opens any page or try reply to the topic. It happens from time to time, sometimes it happens more often, sometimes doesn't occurred.

Please, as soon as you face this error, post here URL, where it happened, and what did you do (load page or reply). It will helps to collect statistics and solve the problem.

I have gotten this several times and I’ll be sure to give you the information if it happens again. Thanks for looking into it, Dmitry!

Used back arrow and tried again. It worked with second attempt.

I haven't gotten an error message for a couple of days, but the forum pages are loading with excruciating slowness—about 10 to 15 seconds every time I click on something. It's not my modem/connection because all other (non-forum) pages load instantaneously.

And yes, Dmitry; thanks for looking into this.

And another twice when I clicked on reply on this thread.

I concur with Kathy it's very slow loading pages, 10 or 15 seconds....I'm on a sports forum right now and that loading fast so my internet is fine.

I get the server error message a lot when navigating around the site. Eg when I went to this page.

http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/index.php (http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/index.php)

Or after I try to post.

Like Kathy and Nim, I’m finding the pages are unusually slow to load.

I got the server error message posting this previous message but it still went up. So that’s something.

It’s slow here, too.

Slow and errors, the same for me. Please keep posting here about errors.

Yeah, the site is a bit slow.

I got the ISE message yesterday but I now know that if you insist you can get through to the page.

Just got the ISE page 5 times clicking on "different conversations"

Right now any page is loading very fast. Try it please.

Definitely an improvement Dmitry. Also not getting the server error messages.  icon_good

Looks like there are problems with access forums via http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/ (http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/)
https://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/ (https://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/) works fine.
HTTP vs HTTPS
They just said http will be redirecting to https in 3-4 hours.


Oh, I should change hosting justhost.com to something another. They generate problems each year.

And the encrypted Hypertext Transfer Protocol you've established is more secure.  A few members have expressed their concern with http in the past.

Thank-you for the extra effort you put into the switch to https, Dmitry.

Yes, Dmitry, thank you very much! Websites are a lot of work to maintain! That was part of my job before I retired. I actually enjoyed it, but when something didn’t work it was no fun at all.  ;D

If anyone is still seeing a security warning it should go away if they type in the complete forum address, https://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/ (https://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/) instead of using any shortcuts.

Pages on this site have been loading very, very slowly for me. Some have even timed out.

I haven't had access for a couple of days but today it's working fine.

It looks like I can't help it with slow loading. It is on the hosting side. They either don't want to help or are incompetent.

The site was down for a few hours earlier today but is now working fine.

Huh. I'm now getting a security warning when I pull up the forum on my phone, but not when I access it with my desktop.  :-\
