500 - Internal Server Error
« on: January 27, 2015, 07:14:48 am »
Lately I quite often get 500 - Internal Server Error whan trying to access the forum. Is it me or is the server a bit unstable?

LT asked the same thing via PM several days ago.
Does the site break for you between 4-4:30AM ET  / 3-3:30AM CST daily? 
Told him that it's probably the BYOAC servers doing backups every day at that time since nobody's using the site then.   ::)

Forums and wiki are both unavailable at that time.

There's often a few minutes downtime around Midnight CST, too -- maybe Saint's or my ISP host servers rebooting.   :dunno

It appears to be random over the day but I will take notice of the exact time next time...

Everything drops off between 4-4:20 AM EST most nights, which as PL1 said is I believe due to some nightly system process. The main backups (the forum) run at 1 AM.

Yeah, I see that quite often as well. Perhaps because I'm in another time zone (trying to access when servers are unavailable for backup jobs etc)...
