Can't create a new thread (errno 11)
Hello,
A new error message has arrive on my forum for the past few days, and users are complaining that, from time to time they are being kicked out when submitting a PM, but the submission usually succeeds the second time around. The error email that I'm getting is below and has to do with database connectivity. Can any one help me with a good advice on how to troubleshoot this issue? The problem is that the problem occurs randomly and only a very few times a day. That's why both the host and myself have a hard time pin-pointing the source. Code:
Database error in vBulletin : |
OS error code 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
Your host should be able to resolve this. |
Hello Marco van Herwaarden, long time no talk :)
My host requires me to provide a means to test the problem and to be able to regenerate it. Due to the random occurance, they do not manage to replicate this error. Any idea? Quote:

Have you tried going to the Script page that produced the error - http://www.yoursite.net/external.php?type=js&lastpost=1 (your site name edited out)? I just did and it's a mess of text. Perhaps fix that script and see if you no longer get the errors.

I'm sorry for my ignorance, Lynne, but I never have touched that page. Besides errors are being issued from that page as well as from:
showthread.php; cron.php (referred from this page), private.php (referred from this page), private.php?do=showpm, etc. Thanks for your help:) Quote:

I don't know that you will be able to reproduce the problem consistently as it is an error because of your server specs. When you reach a certain 'limit', you get the error.

Thanks a lot for your kind help and dedication to the cause. I'll read this information and get back to you if something is still unclear or if I gained some insight that may help other members as well. Thanks again.

Current status report: Resolving the issue has taken three steps, all psycological by nature, no technical experise required: 1. Understand from supportive members (see previous posts) that this is a pure OS resources issue. 2. Getting a really annoying letter from HostWay that the correct way to avoid such issues in the future is to buy a dedicated server from them. 3. Sending them back a real nasty letter about the apparent deterioration on their customer orientation and a fearsome dilapidation of their professional capabilities. Follow these three steps and your database connectivity issues may vanished as mine:) Thanks, guys & gals for your support. |
You forget step 2b: Backup everything of your forum and store ofline.
(Wouldn't be the first time i see a host cancel the account - with all the data - when a customer complains too much.) |
Thanks Marco. I just hope that the fact that we are paying over $500/mo. for our dedicated Windows hosting and quite a few shared domains will keep them from doing just that:)
I wonder if a discussion can be started over sharing and voting member experiences and recommendations regarding hosts? Quote:
