I am trying to find that balance. At times our site gets so busy that a blank white page comes up. I dont know what causes it, but my guess is that it either exceeded the number of DB connections, or the scripting engine couldnt keep up. I havnt seen the problem since turning on the caches (I set most of them to 1 hour). I backed most of them off to between 1 and 30 minutes. Hopefully that will stike a good balance.

Is there a quick way to reset a modules cache? When I have them set for a period of time, then anything new I submit does not show up unless I wait it out, or turn off the cache. I would like a quick way, maybe on the admin main menu, to refresh the caches. IF there is already a way to do this, please let me know.

Ive been trying to turn the debug flag on, but I couldnt becuase the site has been down!

It was back again tho, as of about 30 seconds of this post. I turned on the php debug. We'll see what happens....

Greetings,

I maintain the following site:
www.astronomical.org

I have had the site published and working now for a couple months, with a new ISP. However, I have noticed that occasionally when I go to it, it loads up a blank white page. Others have started noticing it as well, and it is becoming more frequent.

Other times it loads up fine. I checked the ISP, and they were limiting the number of database connections to 65. I asked that they increase it to at least 250, as we are sometimes a busy site with schools, etc.

Is the number (or lack thereof) of database connections related to the blank page problem? Any ideas as to what else would cause it? I am looking for something I can take back to our ISP that they can fix. Like I say, it seems sporadic, but when it goes down, its a major pain.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim
