502 error
I posted in the chit chat and clicked on the chitchat link (errr slightly top left) and got a 502 error ... hmmm ... I used my browser to return back and was able to click through ... 2 new post were there ... my reply and Paul's Brain teaser ... (reference for time ... this post - about 4 minutes ... xx:33 roughly)

502: Application Server Error
There was a problem accessing one of our application servers. This could mean we are working on upgrading one of the demos, or had to restart it for some other reason. Please wait a few minutes and then try reloading. If you still experience the problem please do contact us and we will look into it asap. In the meantime, you can continue exploring the website.

hmmm ... I wonder if chances of hitting post at the same time caused this?

Crontab? Who mentioned crontab :)

>>Never had this happen before ... <<

It happens occasionally.

First you get an app server error when mysql shuts down, then you get "Can't connect to mysql server through socket file '/tmp/sock' (or wherever it is)

Hi,

Usually this means one of our monitoring scripts went off and had to restart the web/mysql servers, otherwise it means we are upgrading the forum our product demos and had to restart the web server. It shouldn't happen very often any more.

Cheers,

Alex

There are lots of available scripts on the web.

Some of my favourites are here:

Hi,

Ours is a custom built one and is pretty tied to our server, so it wouldn't do you much good. The link Paul mentioned does have some nice ones though.

Although if you want to see ours, I've attached it here.

Cheers,

Alex

Wow thats pretty cool.

Am I ok to try that on my server? - I'd like to give it a whirl.

Sure, you may need to customize it quite a bit to your site though.. It assumes quite a few things. Also, I'd turn on debug while testing.
