Massive server overloads.. we still dont know exactly whats causing them..

Have you run a profiler to see what it could be?

[bobthedinosaur]

bots maybe?

My bet's on Java.

My bet's on Java.

Java itself dont do nothing you dont ask it to do.

Java itself dont do nothing you dont ask it to do.

But it does do things you might not have intended to ask it to do... like using up too much memory or crashing and failing to clean up after itself.

yeah... software written in languages other then Java never crashes or uses more memory then you can afford, if you do not explicitly tell it to do so!

[aegis]

the problem might not be in java, but in some of the java libraries, and the people using them

I was using examples from personal experience to point out things that can go wrong in programming in Java and had failed to realize that the same could be said for most programming languages... technically Java is better at both memory allocation and cleanup than many other languages because it lives nice an cozy in it's Virtual Machine.

My point was more to do with the "dont do nothing you dont ask it to do." part...

Like the time I was trying to test the efficiency of a dynamically sized queue using pointers in Visual C++ by putting a high number of operations in an infinite loop and crashed my computer because I started writing to places in memory that were allocated to the operating system.

I don't even see where Java comes into it when phpBB is written in php..

phpbb isnt the only thing running on the server, e.g. the lobby server ( written in java ( or are we using uberserver? ) )

[Licho]

Only java on server is etherpad :)
Its just server having massively overloaded disks, usually restarting apache/mysql fixes it.
