What good did the new server do, anyways?...

Post by **orudge** » 02 Sep 2004 15:12

You may or may not notice, but it has given us much more space and so on, and when the server is working (it's only been the past couple of weeks that it's not been, and the reason for that is not entirely certain - I can only check properly at weekends), it is somewhat faster.

When the server is working, it's great. It worked perfectly for months after you got it. So I'm wondering what the problem is that they are having. I suppose you've contacted them and complained?

Yes, I'll get in touch with them again soon. It could just be that we're getting a bit too big for the resource allocation (RAM, processor time, not HD space, etc) we have, I'm not sure.

Oh, dear, does that mean you'll need more money?

For the last two outages at least, the web server was actually fine, it was the DNS server that wasn't responding. I don't know if that's on the same server or not, though.

Hmm, that's very weird, but it does explain why my lookup didn't work. I think it would be fairly unusual for an Internet DNS to be on the same server though. Did they have anything to say about it?

It could do. But if the past few problems were the DNS servers (which aren't really my responsibility), then I'll get in touch with the web host about it. I know that there were DNS problems a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn't tell for the recent problems because I wasn't at a PC when they happened.

Yeah, I wasn't able to access the site from before 12:00am to about 5:30am (GMT).

Apparently, this was a routing issue between Adiungo's USA datacentre (I thought we were in the UK datacentre, but we're not), and Europe, although I know some Stateside users apparently couldn't get to the forum either.

Yeah I'm in the washington DC area and I'm having sporadic problems accessing the forum too

Well.. I'm having problems accesing the site no matter when I try.. It lags as h*** in my house, and I don't know why!

It has been so in about a week now

Yesterday i could not get onto the Forums. After two tries i game up.

Post by **orudge** » 11 Sep 2004 19:27

I know, and I'm getting very urined off about it, if you'll excuse my French. I've complained (again) to the host, and will see if anything happens.

(It's taken ages to be able to post this message)

Well, they said it was due to a load of not-quite-disconnected connections clogging the thing up. They rebooted the server, so let's see if it's any better.
