Upload to jAlbum server not possible
Posted: 1 Feb 21, 09:53
 
Yesterday it was difficult to upload an album to the jAlbum server:

It took along time before the connecting window (see screen-shot Connecting.png) was closed and many times this window was closed after a long time whereafter an error 'Auth fail' message was displayed (see screen-shots ConnectingError.png and ConnectingError-2.png). Yesterday is was still possible in a next try to upload an album, but today that is no longer possible.

It is also not possible to uploud wit FileZilla, see screen-shot FileZilla.png.

I can upload to my own server without problems.

Nothing has been changed at my site as far as I know, so why can't I upload albums t o the jAlbum server?

Edit: Now (13:00) I could upload again an album.

One of the jAlbum servers died late Friday. Anders moved things to other servers, including the forums, the wiki, and the upload manager.

We spent most of Friday evening (evening here - the middle of the night in Stockholm) hunting down things that weren't working. Anders got the front end of the forum working - post if you get any crashes. Most of the forum admin console is still not really usable, but that can wait.

The wiki seems to be working properly now - I think RobM will let us know if it's not, since he's in it more often than anyone else.

The upload manager has been a problem since then. Sometimes you can connect and upload with no problems, but sometimes you get timeouts and authentication failures. It can change from one minute to the next. Anders is well aware of this, and is working on it.

We're aware of these issues. It's server related. Anders is on top of it.

Correct

I think this has been solved now. A reverse-DNS lookup for the database took too long for the new server-iP, sometimes resulting in a timeout when connecting to the database. When connecting to the storage using SFTP there has always been a delay of a few seconds. Now the connection is almost instant.

The connection issue also affected the help wiki, which isn't as robust as the rest of the site and the forum are which aren't affected by connection issues in the same way (using a pool of connections instead of constantly logging in).

It seems to be stable now. I'll keep doing little tests at various times - the problem was very random before, so it's a tough thing to nail down.

(Now, about the forum admin console.... ;) )

Yes, very random... :/ I could see a queue of logins to the database at the time there were problems, but couldn't see the reason. After the hosts fix I've never got that queue. Things just run smoother... But good that you run some tests.

Yeah.... :)
