404. Not Found.

Does anyone know why, in the last two days, if I click on the "post reply" or "quote" buttons, about once in every ten attempts, the screen appears with just this statement. Is it because the system is too busy ?

 

[Ivo]

I haven't had this issue?

I am using Google Chrome as my browser,

If it happens, can you please post the URL that appears in the address bar at the top of your browser when the error shows?

For example the normal reply page is http://www.railforums.co.uk/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=1088526

Thank you for this information. As I said, 90% of the attempts are fine, it is just about 10% that it occurs on. The fault seems to occur about midnight.

I always get slow loading at about 0130. Could there be some automatic software update/backup affecting servers? Although I have to say that I have never got a 404 error and I'm also using Chrome.

As I said, it has only happened over the last two days at about midnight on both days. I must confess that I have never experienced this problem before, hence my reason for posting this thread.

Oh good glad its not just me.

I often find it takes ages to load or times out around 01:00 - 02:30 ish, server farm maintenance I guess.

I've been finding a similar issue with Firefox, and not just on replies.
I commented on it on another thread on Sunday:

I'm having problems when clicking on topics - the server seems to time out about once in every 8 clicks, but is only happening for this forum.

This happens somewhere in the region of 0120-0130 UTC (so 0220-0230 at present). It's been the case for ages. It only lasts about five minutes though.

I experienced several DNS failures yesterday (Thursday) evening when railforums.co.uk couldn't be found in the DNS server (I was using East Coast WiFi at the time) but they were resolved within an hour.
Subsequently, I have been unable to access the host server a few times this morning.
All okay at present.

I am somewhat relieved to hear that I am not the sole recipient of these problems...perhaps I should spend less time on the website than I normally do, especially at the "witching hour"...or thereabouts..:roll:

I wondered why I hadn't had that problem for a while, now I know why

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I meant to add that under the words 404. Not found. , there is a line and under that line in small type is:-

riginx/0.6.32

What does this signify ?

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Perhaps the line reads 'nginx' ?

Nginx is the name of the software which runs on some web servers. The numbers indicate the version number of the software.
