Well it stayed up for over a month this time which is better than .0000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the sites on the internet.

The DB server looks fine and the basis control panel is working but the front end server seems to be having a schism.

Our top engineers are on the case, when they finish that case off they might even look at the server...

I'll buy them another case -

Maybe the server got a case too. Swine flu perhaps.

I think we should chip in for some hamster snacks.

Kestryll · « **Reply #12 on:** October 20, 2009, 03:36:29 PM »

Yup, we're back up, I'd like to take credit for it but it's really the GeoVario staff and mcubed that did the work.

This one was odd.. the front end server stopped responding and when the datacenter checked the physical computer it was turned off.
We're still trying to find out if it was a heat sensor that panicked, a power glitch or clumsy cleaning crew with a mop...

looks like it is back down.

Alaric · « **Reply #14 on:** October 20, 2009, 03:56:54 PM »

Yep, the hamsters are on strike for better pay now.

ivanimal · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2009, 03:57:45 PM »

in the datacenter server environment, assuming the GeoVario staff know their stuff, the most common cause is bad
hardware (power supply/fan). Servers are typically setup to auto power-on if it ever loss power. So having it in the
off state means either somebody halted it or bad power supply.

It was that thread about why VCC got banned that did it...

elrcastor · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2009, 04:21:21 PM »

I think we need to keep the hampsters away from the beer.

Kestryll · « **Reply #20 on:** October 20, 2009, 04:25:39 PM »

We know the direct cause now and are taking steps to remedy it.

What caused the cause is still to be determined.

The Obama Admin instituted their "Net Neutrality" program a bit early by accident?!?

Ben's always said that the site is hosted on a cluster with a load balancer in front of it . . . if there's a single "front end server" and a single database server then that's not the case. No big deal . . . just surprised to hear this after all the comments in various threads about all the $$$$ being dumped into this site by GV. Is that still a planned upgrade?
