A new message I've never seen before ....

BOINCstats is currently down because the server is overloaded.
Current load: 50.35
Normal operation will resume when the load falls below 50.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Willy

Well, that's not the new databaseserver, that's the (now oldest) webserver. And it's been a long time since it has seen such load, today three times already. That calls for an investigation.

Edit: that message (when appropriate) has always been there, but it hasn't shown its ugly face in a long time.

Please do not PM, IM or email me for support (they will go unread/ignored). Use the forum for support.

I received one of these messages this morning too, except that the Current Load was 50.19.

Well I certainly hope there is no need for that. I assume that whatever tweaking was required was taken care of by Willy, because it was only that one day I saw those messages (multiple times), I haven't seen one since. And on that day I checked and there wasn't an inordinate amount of users and guests logged in using the web service as far as I could see.

Perhaps he had yet another "scraper" to deal with?
