"Unable to Start Another Process"???

sequoiaranger · June 07, 2011, 10:28:12 AM

I have been getting this message splashed across my computer screen on an increasing basis instead of a Whif page here. Is there something going on with his site? Usually I can just "go somewhere else" and come back to the Board, but it is REALLY ANNOYING to be following a thread, then "cut off" by....what, exactly??

Anyone else having this problem? Any site administrator with explanations/suggestions??

too many users accessing the forum ?

I get the same error message sometimes

Sentinel Chicken · June 07, 2011, 10:37:46 AM

I'm seeing the same issue as well. I think it has to do with some server settings.

Still?! Crap, I was hoping the database upgrade would resolve the issue since that was that the indications were. OK I'm going to have to lodge a helpdesk ticket with the hosting provider.

The upgrade has drastically reduced the number of times I've seen this message. I've seen it maybe 2-3x since the upgrade.

It hasn't reduced it much for me, to be honest - it still occurs at least a couple of times a day, often more.

I also get that sometimes. I can't really say how often but I just got it this AM.

beowulf · June 07, 2011, 01:19:38 PM

not seen it for a few days but end of last week i was getting it quite a bit

Supertom · June 07, 2011, 01:29:49 PM

OK I've talked to the hosting provider and they've asked if we could let them know as soon as it happens.

So here's how it'll work. If you get that error, email me at whatif.issues@gmail.com - it'll send me an alert on my phone so I can at least put a timestamp on it. Hopefully we can get the provider to replicate the issue.

sotoolslinger · June 07, 2011, 01:34:49 PM

Got it . I'll let you know.

Got it! Truly, it is only a minor annoyance, but...!

Quite often it will happen several times in a row. That is, I am at one thread on this site and I want to move to another, or another, and it *STILL* won't let me. Then sometimes it will. Sometimes it is momentary, and sometimes it goes on for several minutes until I tire of it and "go elsewhere". I understand that all of this site is contained in a single server (yes?), so it is a "server" problem, not my personal computer.

Anyway, glad you/we are getting a handle on it. Thanks.

had it happen to me yesterday, and there where only 4 people showing as on the forum at the time.

GTX · June 08, 2011, 12:41:21 AM

I have had it happen a few times in the last week or two.

Gotta say that I get the same from the work pc and when looking on my iphone....can be annoying.....don't seem to be a lot of people on the site when it happens as well......

I used to get it appearing quite often before the upgrade, but not seen it happen since then Tom.

When it did I just exited the internet completely, cleared the cashe and history, come back into the site and it will work. I'd always thought it was something to do with my computer, but when my new computer did it too, I figured it had to be something else.
