Default Daemonforums very slow, times out a lot

So since I have switched to the new site, daemon forums, I have been having lots of connection problems. About half of my requests time out, and when they don't, they tend to come through very very slowly (+15 secs).

I am located in Eastern Europe on a 4Mb/1Mb that is otherwise pretty reliable.

Oh yeah and I think the forum colors are kinda...dull! But that's only a superficial issue

I noticed this a few nights ago, but it seemed to be a one time thing. It's been fine for me since then.

This site does tend to go at a snails place often here, sometimes it's responsive.. other times it gets stuck in a "connection reset" loop.

Personally, I'm finding it annoying... even though bsdforums is a spam haven, it sure was speedy.

And yes, I too experience the slow speed here.

It's most likely a problem with your location on the 'Net, and the route your packets take. For instance, I've never had any issues with accessing daemon forums, and my route is nothing like yours:
Code:

What does your traceroute look like when you can connect?

I've never had a problem either except for last night when it was down altogether but that could have been the storm we had, too.

Thanks for letting us know about this. I have never had any speed or access issues with DaemonForums, but we should fix this problem that others are having.

We do not need money. We need ideas. Have any server suggestions that you think would work great?

Also, we are working on using PHP 5 and MySQL 5 rather than their more outdated versions, and that should make some speed boosts.

What's the server running now? What sort of connection/OS/webserver/etc?

Maybe, but then why do I only have it for this site? :/ I live in Eastern Europe and successfully access sites from around the world.
Don't get me wrong. I love the concept, just giving constructive feedback!

We entirely understand. We are glad people are brining this to our attention, because most of the moderators have not been seeing this issue first hand.

Apache on Linux. It would be great if we could get onto a *BSD server, considering that this is a BSD-oriented site.

Don't worry, OpenBSD runs on Solaris, or at least it used to (goes to check their faq).
Yup, seems it still does.

Isn't Solaris technically a BSD? (Even if an evil cousin?).

Anyway, OpenBSD.org appears to be running.. OpenBSD, I believe only a few mirrors may be evil doers.

No, some SunOS versions were based on 4BSD, but Solaris is based on SystemV.

While technically you are correct (see Netcraft's take at the following),

http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_rep...st=openbsd.org

I believe scottro is referring to the fact that OpenBSD's Website does run on Solaris which is further explained in Section 8.18 of the official FAQ:

http://openbsd.org/faq/faq8.html#wwwsolaris

Hey, if I would eat having to be hosted off a Windows server let along Solaris machines for the space and bandwidth involved at the University of Alberta ;-)

As people hopefully realize from my comments in the Linux thread, that wasn't a putdown of OBSD. I highly agree with the way they phrase their answer in the FAQ.
