Pootle still down?

For the last few days I have discovered that Pootle is either very slow
or not available at all.

Please :wink:

That's not so easy to debug... :slight_smile: The last time André did some checks but could not find anything suspicious.

From a quick glaze at `top`, I would guess we were facing a simple bottleneck problem, because none of the processes were eating up too much CPU or RAM.

I suspect slightly that the reason MAY be search bots that were crawling Pootle, so I've just added a static robots.txt file (previously, it was being generated dynamically with explicit restriction on almost all "directories", but I've simply added a "Disallow: /" line instead of all these restrictions. We'll see whether or not it will help.

Also, it could be that we're reaching a maximum amount of Apache servers allowed to start (search bots contribute to that too, of course).

A few more ideas for the future:
* redirect all non-ssl requests, not just when the user tries to log in.
* get rid of Apache and install Nginx or Cherokee or something similar instead

(IMO, the two ideas above are good in either case)

* debug further? :slight_smile:
