This site's failure is annual, for example, Nyali Primary School expected it thus put in place own infostructure .. - - - - - - KCPE 2009 RELEASE We expect the Minister for Education to release the results for KCPE 2009 on Tuesday 29th December. As always, we shall post the results on this blog when we have compiled all results. Since the KNEC website may be down on that date (as it always is), we request that if you receive the results by SMS, please forward the same message to the ICT department on 0728711278. We also want to thank all those left us with their email addresses. I am drafting an ICT Proposal and Policy which I will forward to the school on 28th December 2009. In a nutshell, the proposal seeks to create an ICT system which will enable important information to reach your mailbox (and mobile) at the touch of a button. It may involve a substantial amount of cash and I may only count on numbers to support this inevitable technological venture. I am also creating a separate platform which will have important events for the school available to you on your desktop at the touch of a button. You may check a sample here. If it requires username and password, use Username-parent@nyaliprimary.com pw- parent We wish you all a merry Christmas and a Prosperous New year. - - - - http://nyaliprimary.wordpress.com/ (viewed: just now:-) On Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 5:28 PM, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com> wrote:
When Wananchi hosted KNEC's website query for the first time (several years ago) there were no complaints. Seems that this time there was a certain level of unpreparedness.

No serious website will have capacity to do with concurrent database connections. Any competent web developer will implement any of the various ways of getting around this, up to and including caches and multiple databases. They cannot act surprised that there was huge traffic

Well, it depends. MySQL has a limit on the permissible number of concurrent connections. I believe any DBMS does. Assuming on the other hand that they are using fewer than maximum connections, that means that all the transactions are being done using the same connection and that might to some extent explain why it takes too long to load a page that is mostly plain text (All the text is coming from the database). I think...taking into account the nature of the data, and the fact that all types of transactions are read transactions, concurrency issues are not so much at stake here and it would be really nice if they had replicated the data to like 50 databases. That way the transactions will be satisfied more quickly and more efficiently. Im just assuming, I have no knowledge of what happens behind the scenes. The connection problem is most likely due to timeout after a request takes too long in the queue waiting to be serviced.

@chuks i doubt. Its a common joomla error when the script cannot connect to the database. It was either intentional, or someone tried to mess with their config file, or as someone says, they wanted to make a quick one off anxious parents. All the same, Bure hao!.

Maybe they want people to use the sms number so as to make money. Interestingly, the text number is also not functioning!

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!
