Hi Chen,

For some reason the last 2 days the site has been very slow to connect. This morning I got

Yes something is up that I'll have to figure out.
There are no errors in the SMF log but I'll check out the server logs to see if it shows any problems.

I'm not sure just yet but it might be due to a PHP FPM misconfiguration.
Some adjustments have been applied which will hopefully fix the issue.

Thanks for the report.

There was also an update to the SMF main package that has fixes in it regarding the mail queue and PHP sessions which has been applied.
It may or may not be related because I did have a misconfiguration regarding sessions that I adjusted.

I am using memcached for sessions within SMF settings but my PHP-FPM configuration was not set properly for it and had to be adjusted.
Hopefully this issue is now resolved.

I was just going to do a post about that, just as a reminder that if you did the 'ScheduledTasks.php' edit for the emails to reverse that before you update.
