Server Downtime -- I can probably help.
« on: June 17, 2009, 04:13:31 PM »
Ive been running a small webhosting company for years now, and I might be able to provide assistance in tracking down the problem.(assuming this is a linux box )

I would need an account that I can su my way into root though so I can get a hold of what I would need starting with assorted log files. The timeouts give me the feeling that someone is running some sort of php exploit/mail injection/iRC bot/filehosting. I can't find out though if I can't peek inside.

Anyway, if you want the help (again if its linux, I'm not familiar with Windows based hosting) let me know. I'm not looking for cash, just offering a hand.

I haven't had any problems with it down time here lately.

Sorry for the hiccups ya'll.  Looks like a server issue that was resolved.

Miskie - thanks for the offer. We'll discuss it and let you know.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
