Topic: Random 503 errors when posting

Hello all, thanks for the great software.

We are experiencing some problems on our forum, specifically every once and again I will start getting Service Temporarily Unavailable (503) errors, and then I can't post for some time before they go away. I only get the errors when actually trying to post something, navigating the forum and reading threads is fine, but when I click to post a new thread....503. Also, I can reply to threads fine, I get the error only when starting a new one.

We are running 1.2.12, have around 10,000 posts and about 3,000 users. MySQL 4.1.14

Brad

503 errors shouldn't be anything to do with PunBB I wouldn't think, who is your host?

Re: Random 503 errors when posting

I think I figured it out, turns out it had to do with PHP code embedded in the post between [ code ] tags (spaced added to prevent formatting). We were trying to show someone how to put a test page up with phpinfo(); and that was breaking it...
