Board problems

Post by Lord Hypno »

so the board is having a problem accessing the sql server, it's maxing out 150000 questions an hour and i don't know how to fix it, servage does not allow me to add users to the database so i can't add the multi user fix to phpbb. so i dont kow what to do.

any one have any thought's

Did something in the server config or software change that would cause this? It seemed to just start happening.
Seize the moment.

Literally.

nothing i did and servage say's no. i have turned off the access to all the Spider's and i'm thinking about limiting the guest's so they don't see the board at all. just a Guest forum

What is reporting this? the SQL server admin Panel? servage? Do you think it's some type of bot attack? I never had any issues but I also used to have to lock out guest access due to spam on the old version of phpbb2. There shouldn't be anything about this board that's anywhere near that #

the board goes offline and the only thing it display's is that we are over your max questions, and it gives an error code. i googled it and something is making the board quarry the sql server. it could be a bot attack tho i would think servage would be able to tell from what they see it's a problem with phpbb . i don't know next time it happens I'll get a screen shot also if you see it the board is not dead just offline
