Re opened our site today to swim registration. These as rapid users who will
do anything to try and beat the system. For instance although we had the
site closed till 3PM we had 320 people hit it trying to get in even though
they new in advanced it was closed. And before I removed the login taf
altogether had a half dozen people bypass the start page and go right to a
bookmarked login page.
So it was no surprise when at 3PM we opened it we had almost immediately 140
user all on at the same time.
In the 1st 10 minutes seems lots of stuff was strange. The user variables
were getting lost for some people but not all. Even had two out of 234
invoices get multiple users entered in the line items.
I looked through the code and don't see where this could be happening. I did
trap more places for the reg_iD the main variable being present.
I had to shut it down and have a dozen emails from people who are angry.
It does look like many of these people were from AOL but I am using
everything known to humankind to defeat proxy servers so I don't see that it
should be a problem.
Is there some setting in my server I need to change. Could it be maxing out
somehow under the load and that causing problems.
I am pretty desperate to get this fixed. We tested the hell out of this
thing but could not test under this kind of load.
I need to get this back up but I'm afraid to do it without an answer to the
problem.
Server is running Windows 2000 Server latest patches SQL 2000 SP3 and
Witango 5 latest version.
