skymama 37 #1 April 3, 2003 I'm getting this message a couple times a day now. Anyone else getting it? What's it from? The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi. Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #5 April 4, 2003 Hey HH, is the issue capacity of storage, or width, I mean is dropzone.com a victim of its own popularity? Too many worthless posts, or too many worthless posters? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

sangiro 26 #6 April 5, 2003 It's bandwidth. I have quite a bit of storage left. Also, extra storage capacity is relatively cheap.Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #7 April 9, 2003 "It's bandwidth." Aha, too many worthless posters then.What about limiting access to the forums to say the latest 25 posts for non registered 'guests'. Or limiting access to certain forums for the 'guests'. Then again I don't know if this is what you might have in mind for your 'vision' of the site. By the way, I also occassionaly get the same 'proxy error' type thing, and the boards are relatively quiet when I'm here.? -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

I actually have a solution for that but it's at the template level and i'm not convinced it's going to make much of a difference on the server load. I have to go dig and see how the script would deal with the query but I think it's still going to pull the same load, just not display it all. It's a good idea though.
