These are all server issues that you need to take up with your web host.

The 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied' error usually happensif for whatever reason the SQL server can not be connected to.

It occasionally happens on this site and is often coursed by thingslike network problems connecting to the SQL Server, the SQL Servercould be rebooting, or even over loaded.

The 'SQL Server error '80004005' Timeout expired' error is very similarto the one above and is often coursed when the SQL Server doesn'treturn data within the server specified timeout limit. This again is asign of network problems or an overloaded SQL Server.

With the amount of server related issues you are getting I think it's time you started looking for a new host.

Here are two more:

---------------------------------------------
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/forum/includes/pm_check_inc.asp, line 67
---------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Timeout expired

/forum/default.asp, line 314
-----------------------------------------
Further we are getting a lot of "acces denied" or "page does not exist"

The errors occur frequently, but without real pattern. Only thing I can say is most in the weekend and when there are 40+ users on the forum at the same time.

My site is about 100 mb, the database is less.

This is one of the errors I am getting:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/forum/default.asp, line 314

Also you mention that your MS SQL Server is at 100Mb, which seems likeallot for 32648 Posts in 5093 Topics and2731 members, as this site has at least twice that as well as thedatabase being used for other things and the size is still under 65Mb.

Check that the recovery model for your SQL Server database is on'simple' this should speed things up with the MS SQL Server and cut thesize down on the transaction log.

Also 47 forums is a hell of a lot and this will course problems, you should try cutting down the number of forums you have.

You haven't mentioned what the errors are so can not really help.

If you are finding it's running slow and you are having over 200concurrent uses then you are probably using allot of server resourcesas that is allot of database hits, page views, and data transfers.

With that amount maybe you need to look for a web host with lesspopulated servers, or even a dedicated server to cope with the amountof resources your forum requires.

On a shared hosting environment your host has probably limited theresources your site has available so that when your site comes underallot of load it doesn't effect other sites on the servers, thereforeyour site will run low of resources and run slowly.

Anyone? I was getting about 100 new members a day until the server errors started to chase them off. I now get around 1500 pageviews a day.]]> Fri, 17 Dec 2004 20:37:31 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/hosting-problems-help_topic12883_post72091.html#72091
