    Would you consider moving the forum to a faster machine altogether? Maybe a VPS?

    Vultr.com $2.50 per month for a decent enough Linux server. I'm sure a few of us on here would be happy to donate a few quid to help the cause πŸ‘

      @Mightyman Lol, that's worse specs than what we're already running.

        You're talking spending $10 a month to beat the spec's of our current server.

        Might not sound a lot, but it's going from $0 a year, to $120 a year, for five or six members lol.

        I am going to keep a close on the situation. I noticed the machine only had 100Mb Swap, I've upped it to a Gb and the problem has gone away.

        But the issue is with the software used, it will reoccur once the Database reaches a certain size again, by design.

        I think long term, we need to migrate away from the current Database and move to a more reliable service.

        The guys who wrote this forum do offer this as a service, at $50. Which is a better price to pay as a one off than pay for hosting which is no better than what we got.

        But even then, it'll only be a script to migrate the database. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

          So upping the Swap file has seemed to make a noticeable difference. Haven't encountered this database problem so far.

          But as I say, it'll only be a matter of time.

              There is likely to be a forum outage tomorrow as the power is scheduled to be disconnected.

              I don't know for how long, but obviously I will endeavour to put it back online as soon as power is resetablished.

              Kind Regards,

                    @Louis-James Yeah, the code is all written. I need to migrate the forum to redirect all requests from dt125r.co.uk/ to /forum.

                    So every single link, image, post and topic needs to be migrated.

                    I then need to migrate the database from Redis to Mongo, might as well throw in a new server to boot. Then deploy the code.

                    Probably won't be done this side of christmas.

                              @NINJA Doubtful, I wouldn't discredit the forums stability. Just have to appreciate we're doing it on a shoe string budget.
