The website (and forums) just was down a couple minutes ago. Did this happen during the other masterserver crashes? I guess all of Badspot's other website's went down too.

No, it's caused by high CPU usage for some reason.
And this happened once before, in which it crashed once and was fine from then on.

About time the Master server is back up.

I don't know what the problem is but it's not CPU usage. The server has like 8 cores and I've never seen it go over 10% usage. Most freezing on the forum is related to sql usage and the general crappiness of smf.

There are a large number of connections open on the server but I don't know what the normal numbers are like.

I randomly poked some numbers in the apache config and now it's working but that could easily be a coincidence considering it's been up and down all day.

Could you describe how many? Could you describe what Apache changes were made?

I would put a cap on 2,000 being too many but that's commonly found in long-living connections.

I assumed it was high CPU because this has happened before and it was the cause. This also explained why pings were perfect yet HTTP stuff was a mess.
