Timing out server

Post by njfrlng »

I just threw all my files online and it seems to timeout after i browse around the game a little bit. (Works perfect on my PC in a xammp environment)

Any idea where to start looking ?

Your config is wrong, the $webBaseDir is not set correctly in the config/config.php
I think you have something like "/thegame/" while it should be "/fow/testgrounds/" (if you would have run the installer directly on this server it would have worked I think).

Ive made the changes in the config and no longer get the errors,

But i still get timed out after i visit 2 or 3 links on the live site.

it seems to be just myself that gets this timeout as other use the site fine.

Timeout you mean that the page are not served? Then it's an hosting issue, not an engine issue. However when I tried myself I didn't had any timeout.

the error is "The server is taking too long to respond."

However this is a dedicated server thats been running for 2+ years hosting a video site similar to youtube and a private gaming site that recieves millions of hits a day.

The error didnt start until i uploaded everything to the internet off my xampp environment. (Works fine there)

It very well may be a hosting issue, but like i said its never happened before. And it only seems to be affecting me personally, so i was thinking maybe something on my end

Yes something between your server and your home PC. Nothing I can help with sadly.

is it one certain page that is doing this, maybe one certain module? I am wondering if the module itself is trying to reach a directory or something that is not there or in a config

You would get a PHP timeout or an error, not a browser timeout.
