I have really, really big problems with the pages here now, I can't load them. sometimes I can se the pages, but most of the time they stop loading halfway. This is really annoying, I can't read the forum - or anything else here :cry:
What is happening? I'm behind a nat-router but I've never had such problems before...
I hope I get this message through.

Is anybody else seeing this type of problem? I can't reproduce it. I don't know what might be causing it. This page (where I'm composing my reply) is 53K. The server sent it to me just fine so I don't have any clues as to what might be going wrong :-(

I have a 1700/512Kbps ADSL-connection with NAT-router. I have a web-server on this connection with no problems. I don't have problems with other forums or other internet-pages. I run Linux (Fedora on my desktop).
Sometimes the pages are loading just OK, most of the time I'm not able to read the postings (or the pages). The problem is not restricted to the forum, http://gallery.menalto.com is problem too.
I've not have problems with the pages before, but I have moved and haven't had time to check the Gallery-pages. I got a new ADSL-modem/router when I moved. When I first tried the pages some days ago, I had no chance...
Now - sometimes they work and sometimes not. I have to try several times to get the pages loaded.
I have Gallery on my web-server, and integrated with phpBB on a plant-forum I'm running somewhere else. I like Gallery :-)

Is this problem still happening? I disabled Turck MMCache which causes Apache to segv, regularly during the cleanup phase. I didn't think that the segvs were causing problems because at this point the data is all sent, but if it's screwing up the browser... :-(

Yes, it is still happening. I have used about 10 min. to get in here now (I got email-notify when reply was posted...)
But - am I the only one with this problem? :-(
This is my third try to post this message.

:-(

I'm not sure what's up. I can get to this site from Linux, Windows, OSX boxes with different browsers (Firefox, Konqueror, Safari, IE6) reliably over different connections (DSL, T1 at work) without problem. I haven't heard this complaint elsewhere. If we can figure out what's wrong, I'll fix it. I just don't know where to look!

What browser are you using? Can you try another browser? Can you try from another location using another computer? Some basic troubleshooting might help narrow down the issue.

I know the site works fine in Firefox and IE myself.

Mozilla, Opera, Konqueror - eLinks... Yes, I have to try another computer, but not so easy from another connection. Besides, it is a little bit difficult because it is not constant... So if it works from another computer I have to try several times to be sure.

I don't have theese problems on my server (Debian Woody via ssh) or in Windows (dualboot) both on the same computer.
The pages seems to work on my laptop too, Fedora core 1. So I think the problem is related to the installation in some way. Weird, because I don't have such problems on other webpages.
Well, I don't have a clue why this is happening, but I think I will use a browser via ssh on my server when needed - for now. Maybee I will find out of it some other day ;-)

I have the same type of problem here at gallery.menalto.com .. I did earlier try to post a message three times ... but I did gave up. For the moment everything is working fine.

I think it could be some network problems. Because there's only problem at some time in a day. It's like there is some type of timeout when a page takes to long to load and the request is lost. But these are only my thoughts.

I use opera ... and I have possibility to try different networks and browser.

I am finding the gallery.menalto.com site really slow. I am in Australia and I have broadband.

Hi,

I am sitting at an internet provider in Switzerland,
almost directly plugged into "the net".
In the morning (now it's 07:15 am here) the site is great fast, but when coming to afternoon it becomes terribly slow and posts into this forum are not sent or sent within 15-30 Minutes. I wonder why my browser (Mozilla 0.9.2 and IE 6.0.28 on WinXP Prof) does not run into a timeout.

I don't know where your server is located and what time difference to Switzerland it has, but I guessed it could be caused by admin processes (db-backup, stuff like that).

I did not get annoyed, I just get up earlier to browse through the forum and in the afternoon I do my real job here ;-)

Frank

There are several problems causing the site to get bogged down during night time (for me -- PST). I'm working on resolving the problems as fast as I can. Every morning I get a report on how effective my improvements were :-) I'll keep plugging away at it.

I've noticed the problem with pages not completely loading also, however, it only happens on my gentoo machine with mozilla, firefox, and konqueror. It does not happen on my ibook with safari or firefox which is on the same dsl network.

I still have the problem on my PC (Fedora Core 2), regardless of browser - as far as I can understand. I still have to use ssh to my server (Debian Woody) and use a browser from there.

I start konqueror from a console-window on the server - and I can se the message "WARNING: Error in CSS" is appearing in the console window all the time, but I have no problem with loading the pages.
