What's Up With Sitepoint.com

**i_like_php** · Jun 25, 2003 05:56

sp isn't working completly, i mean i can only access the forums but when i click on the articles tab, it goes blank. nothing loads up and i am trying to access kevin's article but i keep getting a blank screen. why

is anybody else having this problem as well

**samfunk** · Jun 25, 2003 07:04

I am having the same problem. When I try to access any page on www.sitepoint.com, it shows up as a blank page. If I view the source, it shows up as a page with open and close html tags, and an empty body section between open and close body tags.

Sounds like the server was critching this morning. I haven't had any problem since.

All I'm getting is <html><body></body></html> too...

...quite annoying since I spent an hour this morning working out why an rss parsing script on my site wasn't working - wish I'd thought to see if SP's RSS page was actually there before wasting on hour

I'm still having this problem. Glad to see I'm not the only one because I was beginning to think my computer was melting. Must be the heat.

All I get are blank pages for anything served from sitepoint.com

The server is hiccupping; it should all be sorted out soon hopefully.

Hmm... No confirmation in that thread

Normally, server downtimes mean a total 404. Blank pages are mostly associated with errors in the template files.

I don't know, but I have a feeling its something deeper than a downtime; perhaps a major hiccup.

Hope it gets sorted soon.

**mmj** · Jun 25, 2003 08:57

Hmm this looks odd.

**platinum** · Jun 25, 2003 09:01

The search database was broken earlier as well

Got some "table" error...

**Mike** · Jun 25, 2003 10:33

Hiccup? Looks like Heart Attack.

**zlogic** · Jun 25, 2003 11:14

http://www.sitepoint.com/books/ tells "Database connect error: " Seems it's some misconfiguration

**Crowe** · Jun 25, 2003 11:35

It's also happening to me. The past few days when I came to the site I also saw a database error at the top of the page every so often and the page wouldn't load. Usually waiting a couple of minutes fixed it, but this time the site has been down at least since 8:30am Central time for me.

**Mike** · Jun 25, 2003 12:01

Yeah, it looks like a corrupted database

**beley** · Jun 25, 2003 12:02

It's been down all day though, you'd think they'd at least throw up a static page or something...

**mydster** · Jun 25, 2003 12:04

Good to see this is posted... I'll subscribe and see if someone replies when the site goes back up..

Kind of sucks

**Mike** · Jun 25, 2003 12:10

They are all sleeping, I believe.

KC · Jun 25, 2003 12:16

fwiw, I'm able to get to SP through an email such as a post notification but when trying to login in at www.sitepoint.com, I'm getting a blank page. I'm having other errors too but will post in the proper forum.

**platinum** · Jun 25, 2003 12:18

yeah it's around 5am over here in Australia at the moment

I'm sure as soon someone gets into the office it'll be sorted.

**Matt Mickiewicz** · Jun 25, 2003 12:34

I just paged Jason, who should get it sorted out soon... It's definitely an issue with connecting to the database.

The Forums are on their own seperate server, that's why they are always up while the site is down (or the other way around). On the admin pages I either get:

"LANG_CERB_ERROR_DB_CONNECT(Too many connections)"

or

Access denied for user: 'nobody@localhost' (Using password: ****** )

**Matt Mickiewicz** · Jun 25, 2003 13:51

We ran out of disk space and now have corrupted database tables....

**aspen** · Jun 25, 2003 14:13

gotta keep those big logs rotated.

**Matt Mickiewicz** · Jun 25, 2003 14:21

And we're up.

**i_like_php** · Jun 25, 2003 15:04

phew i thought i was the only one i am glad i am not the only one who is having this problem
