I can't get on the board correctly
« on: March 17, 2009, 07:37:07 PM »
I have to go through a google cached page to get to the forum.  All links I try come up as broken.  Any ideas what is going on?  Is it just me?

No idea, but I couldn't get on for about 10 minutes.

I too was having a problem.

I did some trace routes from my PC to the server that CC resides on.

I was getting 100% packet loss between two backbone routers in the Time Warner system.

I think Thor was installing some SMF upgrades. We can now watch you undress.

 Everything looks okay now.

It's highly unlikely that it was the upgrades as it affected our sister site, USMILNET, too. I didn't mess with USMILNET. More than likely it was an internet glitch or some sort of server or host issue.

Oops, I backed up from the cocktail cart and stepped on the hose. Sorry, I won't let it happen again. Damned St. Paddy's Day!  :-)

Shh Chris!! You weren't supposed to tell them about the spy cam.

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

Ummm... server upgrades can do EXACTLY that.

Both sites are on the same server.

They (upgrades) can take massive amounts of CPU time.

This was merely a forum upgrade. It wouldn't have affected USMILNET. It shouldn't have affected the server at all, but anything's possible. I won't deny any culpability in the matter, but having done many SMF upgrades before, they rarely mess things up.

My bad.  I must have misread.  I thought you were doing a root upgrade.

Did you do a DB backup as part during your SMF upgrade?  That too can consume a fair amount of server resources.

No huge deal either way.  The outage was short term regardless of cause.
