too much busy signal! Can't Post
Hi there,

Yet another annoying message is the busy signal. Is there anyway it can be solved?

I hope you know which busy signal page Im talkinga bout. ITs when I try to modify a story and I get a busy server is busy signal. Also sometimes when i click on to more headlines.....I get the same busy signal......I have come across this a few too many times, I wonder than how many of my clients are seeing this busy message.

please take a look at this...

I have unix server. and apache web server perl 5+

wow thanks issac,

That will help me fix my problems, but seriously I think its to do with the scripts being accessed too many times at once, think dave might have a hunch on how to fix this problem.........

Hmm, you're getting "server busy" from time to time and you're on unix? It's likely that you just have a lot of activity going on with the data files or you have very large data files and it's taking an extra long amount of time to look things up. Basically, that error message just means someone else is working with the data files at that moment. The program will wait up to 5 seconds for "it's turn" and then display the message.

Could you tell me some more information about what's happening and your setup? How frequent are the busy message (eg: how many times a day/week). How many articles do you have in your database and how fast is your server (eg: is it generally pretty fast when running cgi scripts or no? Is it a virtual or dedicated server?).

On a side note, if you do get an error you can wait a couple seconds and just hit Ctrl-R and you're browser should re-submit the form automatically (if you were creating an article).

Let me know some more details and we'll see what we can do to get it resolved for you.
