+Benchmark Blasterz 65 Posted June 29, 2015 Was going well this morning and early afternoon, but has slowed WAAAYYYY DOWN again Quote Share this post Link to post
+bluesnote 28 Posted June 29, 2015 I'm trying to submit massive amounts of new waymarks, but the site has been slow repeatedly for weeks and now I am back logging from my photos which should have already been submitted days ago. It use to take me a day to submit up to 50 or more waymarks and now I'm lucky if I get 5 in a day as the site is extremely slow. Thought it might be the amount of data from my cameras on iPhoto, so I cleaned and deleted some things and that didn't do anything. Thought it might be my computer so I shut it down and restarted. That didn't work. Geocaching seems to be working just fine for me as well as other websites. Are others having the same issue? Does anyone know why this site just went haywire on us without any warning? Is this going to be a repeated issue throughout summer? Any thoughts? Also, I was trying to submit new waymarks from a vacation over the weekend and I got this error message: "500 - Server Error We're sorry, your request has resulted in an error. If you feel that the page you are looking for should be available, please let us know. Otherwise, you may continue to use the site through its navigation, or browse the links below:" Does anyone know what this means? I've been getting this a lot lately.

+bluesnote 28 Posted June 29, 2015 503 messages - site is back down Has geocaching done something to reduce server capacity for Waymarking? I don't know, but it looks like that Groundspeak has invested most of their time into Geocaching than Waymarking with the new special summer souvenirs such as Geocaching Roadtrip 2015 and more trackable promotions than usual. I have also noticed that they don't really update Waymarking.com for routine maintenance such as with geocaching.com. Usually, I see a little bar at the top of my screen when they warn me when Geocaching.com will be down for maintenance. I can't recalled if they have ever done this with Waymarking. Also, I can see evidence of this within our profiles. When you go under maps, statistics, etc, it tells you that that is a new feature, although it's been there for a couple of years now.

It's fact that the focus lies on 'Geocaching.com'. We have to live with that. Quote Share this post Link to post

+T0SHEA 180 Posted July 6, 2015 NEW ISSUE - Province/State dropdown not working. When trying to submit I receive this error message: Could not find a part of the path 'E:\inetpub\Waymarking.com\xml\scoring_schema.xml'. The same error message occurs with any category tried.

This is the error message I Get: Could not find a part of the path 'E:\inetpub\Waymarking.com\xml\scoring_schema.xml'. I have the same. It's very annoying. But despite the error message, most functions like picture upload and submit do actually work in the back end. It's just the state/province dropdown that cannot be used.

+fi67 157 Posted July 7, 2015 I have to correct my statement. It does usually not work. Only when the proximity alarm is triggered, then you can move on. So currently it's only possible to post waymarks, where there is already an a waymark of the same category with half a mile ?! Quote Share this post Link to post
+Tante.Hossi 11 Posted July 7, 2015 Some more details I have found about the current error/problem: new waymark creation: state list is empty waymark picture upload: an error message appears but the picture is uploaded anyway waymark creation: all variables are cleared when saving the first time all icons in the map are missing (all other icons are still there) profile: the picture with my personal stats (posts and finds) is missing Quote Share this post Link to post

+The A-Team 1861 Posted July 10, 2015 Darn, I just tried submitting one in the hopes that I'd get lucky and that the problem is isolated to only some of the servers in the farm, but the state dropdown just won't work. It sounds like Groundspeak made some pretty big changes to their server infrastructure recently, so I guess there are some lingering side effects. I don't know if the Groundspeak devs need to know or not, but I'm currently experiencing the problem on WAYMARK-WEB01. If anyone else wants to post which server they're seeing the problems on, view the source of the page you're on and look near the end (about 150 lines before the end) for a line that looks like this: <!-- Server: WAYMARK-WEB01; Build: Waymarking.Web.release-20150622.1.Release_13 --> If your browser lets you do a "find" while viewing the source, do a find for "server", because that seems to be the only place that word is used in the code.

+MountainWoods 25 Posted July 10, 2015 I agree with The A-Team that it's a good idea to report in your forum post which server served out the web page whether it is failing or working good. I had the same idea that it might be that N out of M servers in the farm are having issues. Perhaps Groundspeak already knows that, but we users may begin to see a pattern.

It worked for about 20 minutes, just enough time to download photos from my camera and search to see if there are any waymaks that have already been posted. And right when I'm submitting my first one. Boom! I get a bunch of error messages, one after the other on my different tabs. At least we can now say what the problem is and groundpeak will listen. After doing this for about 10 minutes straight with error message after message, I think the site just had it and now Safari gives tells me that the server has dropped connection due to it being busy. Is anyone else having similar issues right now or is this just on my computer? Quote Share this post Link to post
