Server Errors
 

Hey,

Today one of my sites has had much more traffic than usual and I have had a couple crashes. I believe one was caused by redis caching with dbtech vboptimizer. I do not believe the issue is dbtech but rather redis service. I'm sorry but I do not have the log entry for that one as the outage was for only 2 minutes.

If anyone is familiar with redis let me know please. I installed it but I do not believe it is configured correctly. When ever we get a ton of traffic I have issues.

The other issue is current. I see this in the server log.

GET /clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00039l/forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css

It is a 408 error.

I have turned off style theme file caching and tagging for the moment. I have many of these errors.

I know this forum is dead now but I could use some insight.

Thanks

As we cant see your server setup or the config of redis, really hard to say with out you posting the details of redis & what you've done so far.

Run redis on numerous servers, everything from vb to wp.

Can you give me any tips on running it? I only have issues under high traffic situations.

Server is the latest Centos..

Thanks

There is really no tips, its a basic config file for setup, other than tweaking those settings, there is nothing special for "tips".

What errors did you get if any before the crash or have you checked logs?

How about this?

Hey Richie, The database server crashed, as your host why it is crashing. I used to get it alot.

I have a dedicated server.

I believe it is this error causing the issue and it doesn't seem like a crash because the database is not actually going down.

Thanks bro

MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away is a hiccup on the SQL server.
Dedicated servers host their own SQL also?

server going away can be caused by a few things including sql's own settings, i doubt that is redis causing the issue, but wont be able to do much from the outside looking in.

did you raise ur timeouts in my.cnf or do a live view of sql & watch the queries?

I used to get something similar to that and it was due to bots crawling my site and people doing to many searches at once ... it was a bunch of kids flooding my site ... had to block their ips and even ip ranges ...
