Why Does PF Show a Database Error at 8:35 AM?

I just got it too. Started about 30 minutes ago (11:45 GMT)

Same here, 30 minutes ago.

As it is 11:22 GMT now, half an hour ago it was 10:something GMT (see http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/).

No it's not. Trust me I'm here, the current time is 12:23

EDIT: Which is odd because I've just noticed that PF records GMT time as 11:23. But it really isn't!

EDIT TWO: I've realized why, currently the UK is on British Summer Time (BST) which advances GMT by 1. It will go back to GMT on the last Sunday of October.

Yes.

See article 2 of the Summer Time Order 2002 (2002 SI No 262), at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/262/article/2/made" …

When are you guys going to start using real time? PF is on CST. (we also follow DST)

It's set to UCT for me it seems.

It's a reference from before your time. For example, when we would announce chat, we would say that it's open Sunday from 10am to 4pm CST.

Ah I see, an oldie joke

No such thing as the real time. This is PF, we all know it is all a matter of a frame of reference

Did anyone just have problems? I am investigating and am sure it has to do with our backup system.

 

[Borek]

Works OK for me ATM.

Works OK for me ATM.

I made some tweaks and running a backup right now. Seems to work ok for the moment. Report back if there is any slow downs or errors within the next 30min.

I just got both a 502 Bad Gateway Nginx, and a DataBase error.

And they're only happening when I try to open posts in philosophy.

[Borek]

I got 504 while deleting moderated post.

 

[Borek]

Just got 502 followed by the database error. That happened while deleting spam posts from 2003/2004.

I wasn't able to access PF for a few minutes, starting about 10 minutes ago, at 8:35 European time. I had some problems yesterday too, and I think it was at the exact same time, 8:35, but I'm not 100% sure. Yesterday I got a database error. Today just a timeout.

Backup, will happen every morning at this time for roughly 10 minutes.
