    "server is busy"

    many of my members are complaining about not being able to access the site. they get the server is busy error in vB. any ideas? my nix limit is set to zero and I'm not even close to my host bandwith limit.

    Is the error a vB generated one or a server one?

        What is the exact error message?

        Also make sure both the 'Load limiting options' in the Admin CP are set to '0'. If they are, then I don't see how this error could be generated by vB.

            Set it to '0'.

                HI All

                I had this problem earlier and I thought it's from my server as I already set the nix to 0. I checked the server load frequently and I can the maximum:

                load average: 2.17, 1.90, 1.67

                I started getting this error upon upgraded to 2.2.9. I made sure all the latest patches and upgrades are done for PHP & MySQL.

                Where could be the problem ? i have arabized bulletin, so posting the error here doesn't make any use.

                THank you in advance.

                Regards

                  What is the exact error? If it's a vB error it should be in English.

                      Sorry then, I don't know what to suggest. Since the files were modified there's not much we can do.

                        Translate the error via Google.

                          the exact translation is

                          "The server is too busy at the moment, please try later"
