texte = We took the plunge and put 4.0.2b5 on our production server yesterday.Both yesterday and today we have had sporadic problems with various databases being temporarily unavailable. By this, I mean that loading a page will display the following error message inline at the bottom of the page:Error: the database '^inc/banners/db/banners.db' could not be found or openedReloading the page results in a properly rendered page with no error. This happens mostly when Webstar is under significant load (20-40 simultaneous connections).We have seen this problem with no less than 4 different databases. We didn't see this problem in 3.0.8, which was running up until yesterday.This represents a rather large problem for us, in that data is sporadically not displayed on some pages or during back-end processing.I'm hoping that this message triggers (no pun intended) something with Grant, John, or the others at SMSI as to the cause of this issue.I can do further testing if you like, but I have a feeling it will be difficult to reproduce anywhere besides on our production server... 51,000 page views yesterday across 7 different sites...Overall performance is still lagging behind 3.0.8, but it's 1000% better than 4.0.1. I like the direction this is going!Thanks,Dale -- Dale LaFountain Vice President of Information Technology, WebMaster Dark Horse Comics, Inc. mailto:dalel@darkhorse.com Phone: 503-652-8815 x324 http://www.darkhorse.com/############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
