Morrissey-solo network issues

[EPbabe]

I think it's SoLow. Images, in particular, seem a bit slow to come up. Not always, just sometimes.

I haven't been able to open my yahoo.com mailbox today.

anyone else think its rude to call it soLow when we are here, I mean we love the site right?

Hmm, that may not be totally unrelated, actually.

I thought it wasn't. I mean both come from a US server, don't they? And my youtube account looked weird too...

davidt, solo is running like a dream yeay & thanks

[joey]

Running absolutely smoothly. Got that dedicated DS3 to it now, right

[davidt]

Running smooth for now but when I plugged it in the network wasn't working, then suddenly started working 20 minutes later. Not a good sign! Joey, the ISP may need your help.

That's a really bad sign. It's not just a flaky cable?

We have tried different cables and moving to a different switch, but we'll have to look at all of that more closely if the problems continue.

[joey]

Can you get into the switch? Check for duplex mismatches if you can get into it. That can cause flaky issues sometimes.

Have you looked into any offsite hosting options if the problems continue? Even a static site hosted elsewhere is better than a dead dynamic one here. I needed to look up some details about the recent setlists after I downloaded the recordings, and the site was down...maybe that's a problem only for me. I do appreciate all you're doing to get everything back up.

I'll suggest that to the ISP but they swear there have been no recent changes. there are 15 or so other servers on the same switch and they are all running fine, so it's a mystery. We have changed ports and even moved to another switch. So I think it may be something with their provisioning causing an IP conflict.

Do you have physical access to the server? Because if so, I can think of 15 easy things to do to solve the problem.

I've been looking at the new virtual server service Amazon started offering (Elastic Computing Cloud) but that is going to take a lot of work to move to. A static site is also more work. Since the site has been stable for the last several years, I don't think there is need to panic... yet.

Just admit it, the frink thread crashed it

I just looked at Amazon EC2, looks pretty cool, but still in beta. Might be worth a test site.

That's true, the problems did start around the time the limit of frink images was raised from 4 to 8 per post.

EC2 is still very early but it seems like the future. I like the idea of not buying hardware and if something goes wrong, just turning on another instance.

Good luck with ameliorative efforts!

[davidt]

Yes, it is still happening. I'm working with the ISP on it, they have just swapped cables with my other box which has been fine (images server). We'll get to the bottom of this soon!

thanks for all your effort ... im sure i speak on behalf of everyone

[JoyDiv007]

I'm still having problems but I understand about all the problems. Don't worry about it.
