Here is some more info from a conversation I just had with a developer and our system administrator. I'm willing to pay the person who can help me diagnose and fix this? Thank you for the help.
Jason the Developer : how did the site hold up today, anything breaking?
ME: there were some 404s....Joe "The System Admin" and i tried to locate them..ill send you our conversation
Jason the Developer: ok
ME: you get 404s right?
Joe "The System Admin": well, that tells me a TON about the 404 problem or when the site seems "hung up" and where to go look....they simply state "it doesnt work"....i looked in the logs, no errors......is it happening today, the 404s?
ME: yes...got 1
Joe "The System Admin": hmmm....and these are static pages too huh...sorta static...do the pages hangup
ME: it was the upload page
Joe "The System Admin": hmmm
ME: i was processing an ftp upload and it gave me a 404 bf it was done processing the ftp.
Joe "The System Admin": you know...the header and the footer of your site...the actual framework, that could be the problem...not the actual page you're on, but the banners
ME: why is that/ very interesting
Joe "The System Admin": like the bottom banner and the top portion beacuse the page we were having a proble with yesterday... was not dynamic at all..just a simple page
i wonder if there is a database call every time you display any page on the site...i would LOVE to know, what composes that page...once we know, we can probably find your 404 problem and the stalling problem
