Click For Summary
Users are experiencing intermittent "Database Error" messages on PF, particularly around 8:35 AM EST, coinciding with scheduled maintenance and backup events that strain server performance. Access issues typically last about five minutes, but some users report longer delays and additional problems, such as double posts and sluggish performance. Rebooting devices or altering cookie settings has temporarily resolved some issues for users. The discussion highlights a pattern of errors occurring daily during specific time frames, leading to frustration among members. Overall, the database errors appear to be server-side issues linked to routine maintenance rather than individual user problems.

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

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.

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.
