FetchAd Error 500
-
I see all those people complaining about it, but I don't have it. Once in a while, I have that cute Error 500 ("great, the server forgot the error") page on the forum page, but I don't see it. Maybe is that because I have the AdBlock FF extension? I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

I used a generic ad blocking list, and I'm not seeing any of CP ads, including the Google ones. Clicking on the AdBlock list, I'm seeing it blocking 4 IMG tags from the "ServeAd.aspx" page. Maybe the fetchAd error is happening only to those who are seeing ads, but that would be weird, as I would expect a broken image, not a full page reload.

When the script fails with a server error, IE/FF shows the server error. You don't get the errors, cause you've blocked all the ads.

There must be a client script error, because, when put an IMG tag pointing to a page that's giving you a error 500, there is no page reload to show the error, only the "broken image" icon (often, a small "x"). If you don't believe me, make a simple HTML page with only an IMG tag pointing to a simple page that throws an exception, and you'll see what I mean. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

I get them sporadically. But when they happen, they happen a lot. But then again, I'm using a primitive browser. :) Marc My website

It looks like we've melted another server. We're using load balancing with no IP affinity so it should mean that if a server dies then there's only a 1-in-9 chance of you hitting that server. Plus, the servers restart themselves within 60 seconds. I'm guessing that we're either seeing a cascade effect whereby one server goes down which transfers load to another, breaking its back, which then hits another, and so for a time everything is in recycle mode, or somehow one server is dying (I'm looking at you, Web7) and people are being locked onto that one server. I'm going over everything at the moment to see what could be causing the problems. cheers, Chris Maunder

Maybe if CP charged just one dollar a year?? that would make about 250K, I guess more than enough for Chris to run the site... and get a Porsche :) I would pay. -- LuisR
