The simple answer is that yes it probably did go down for a few minutes if you saw that message, but it would have been back again within 5 minutes at most. It's an intermittent issue that arises because of how the webserver is configured with regards to PHP and there are more details on the main forums somewhere.

I've noticed it particually occurs with searching. Surely the group should 'invest' in more stable server software to ensure that potential users of phpBB aren't put off by problems that aren't caused directly by it?

But thats just my opinion.

Thanks for your 'opinion' ... but it's based on lack of knowledge. Search issues have little to do with the server and more to do with a required update of the search tables. We run Zeus, there are known issues with fast cgi which cause a periodic shutdown. We have a keep alive system in place which quite quickly brings it back online.

May I suggest that if you do not know the full facts ... it's probably best not to comment? Thanks.

I'm just trying to point out that general users trying to pick a forum aren't going to be impressed by error pages. But that's also my 'opinion'.

And I'm simply saying that the outage is not frequent and while it's annoying it's short lived. So again, thanks for pointing out what we already know ;)
