Server Too Busy

We have plenty of servers and they are not too busy.

Jeff, I respectfully disagree. While you may well have plenty of servers, I personally have been getting the "server too busy" message since 10am PST today (for over 2.5 hours). I *did* just get an item listed and I sincerely hope things are back on track!

great*junque ... go check it out!

I am impressed with your honesty Jeff. At least there was an admittance to the problem. It's hard to ignore than message though when you are standing still, not able to work.

Well, I can't go use those addesses' you supplied. My Norton is sounding off with sirens about them.

If you trust me, then ignore Nortons warning. They are simply IP's of known working servers at Auctiva.

Otherwise wait until the servers have finished rebooting which should be within the next 10-15 minutes.

I did not say you weren't. I received the message myself when connecting to the affected servers. What I said was to ignore that it's saying "server too busy" because that is a symptom, not the cause. i.e. Buying more servers would not fix this, we have more than enough already.

but jeff ... HOW do i ignore something when i'm not able to get my "work" done?

if there's a work-around when i get this message, i'd like to know what it is. the only work-around i was able to find was to just not use auctiva.

hi, it is 9:24 and i still can't access auctiva to do some listings

PLEASE HELP. A FEW MONTHS AGO THERE WERE ALTERNATE IP ADDRESSES TO ACCESS DIFFERENT SERVERS WHEN THE MAIN ONE IS BUSY.

I had these bookmarked, but changed computers and lost my bookmarks

did anyone have those or can you email me with them PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

thanks

You should always go to http://www.auctiva.com first. Only when that isn't working try one of these. These change frequently so don't count on them working beyond the date of this post:

http://38.102.35.82
http://38.102.35.76
http://38.102.35.78
http://38.102.35.83

If you tried those and they dont work then use http://www.auctiva.com

Auctiva was working in the UK fine in (our) morning. However, I noticed as the afternoon wore on, and more and more areas of the US 'woke up', the problem just got worse and worse. I agree I hadn't seen the 'server too busy ' message before. I do hope this problem is not going to return us to the bad old days of last Autrumn, when it was impossible to get anything much done on Sundays, unless one was up at the crack of dawn, UK time.

Auctiva is barely crawling, for me.

It has now ground to a halt.
EDIT: Clear you cache. I cleared mine & restarted Firefox, and Auctiva's running fast again.

although not getting any messages, the site is slow... very slow.

I'm in the UK btw, so America is only just waking up
