Title: Database error
Post by: GypsySoul on October 25, 2004, 09:11:08 AM
When I type in the site URL, it takes me to that first page that says "Here Today ... Gone To Hell - click on picture to enter," but then I get this error message:? Database error. Please try again later...

If I type in the URL and add the "/board," it does take me to the board and from the HTGTH link I can access the main site page (with the latest news, bios, articles, etc).

What's up with that?? ???

Maybe it's something that's stored in your cache?

Try deleting your temporary Internet files in IE.

Happening with me, occasionally, to.  Doesn't seem to be cache related.  Has happened at home, and from work.  Cleared the cache, still an issue.  I comes and goes.  Had it happen about 5 minutes ago, then, bango, everything was back to normal....

Odd.

I think I know what the problem is, but I can't fix it myself. I have contacted the web host.

When I get an error message, It usually says "Server busy".  The main page will work but not the message board.  I just always assumed there were too many people on so I keep trying.  Sometimes it takes 20 or 30 minutes, but it always works eventually.

I got that last night. Only lasted for mins or so.

If it happens again, I'm leaving.

Is that a promise?

Just happened again.  Here's the error message.

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Yeah, that's the same error message I get on the board.? It's like the board times-out.
The one that just says "Database error.? Please try again later..." is the error message I get on the main site.

That very frequently happens to me.

I thought it?s due to high popularity of this board.
