Getting HTTP 500 errors frequently.

[Trooper2]

I keep getting errors when I try to preview a post or submit it. They started yesterday. I think others are being affected as well as I'm seeing some double posting out there.

Trying to sort it at the moment... Currently wrestling a server as I type!

Sorry about this problem, trying to investigate what is causing it.

[Trooper2]

Thank you Pete, sounds like you're all over it.

We have lost a database server.. so trying to rebuild it now!

I've noticed I get quite a few at 12:30 on weekdays, when everybody logs on I guess at lunch

I am still tweaking the database systems to see what is causing the problems with this... massive apologies for all these errors, but we are working on it.

I will be making some changes in the early hours tonight to try and solve these problems, so if still broke tomorrow let us know.

I'm rooting for ya' Racing Pete, posting has really gotten to be a crap shoot.

Still working on this (see sticky topic from Mr Will at the top) It is a slow process to optimise things as I can only run it at night in quiet periods, so it is taking several nights work. Sorry about this.
