Wolf no biggie on the site goin down during my presentation, it was during the last main feature i was showing. They said it wont affect their decison. Better this happend now than when they start paying for the service.

I know you mentioned it above, but can you please host some sort of support on a box other than the box that serves our sites? When/if this happens can you please let us know how we can best contact you if something liek this happens again.

thx

^ i don't know what that means, but i'm up.
on a related note, has anyone been able to get in touch with Hassell the past couple days? I need the domain registration pushed over to Progress on 2 accounts, and he hasn't responded yet to 2 support requests and an IM.

it probably was my isp just looking at the old nameswerva or something
its acted funny before....

Yeah, i hate your damn dns servers. Just keep checking it like i showed you, If there is ever a doubt, check with a real DNS server, like http://www.dnsstuff.com/

Use the dns lookup in the upper right and do an A record search on http://www.yourdomain.com

Itll show an address in the 207.44.160.xx range if the DNS servers are set up correctly to point to my server.

yes, but it specifically comes back with HOST unreachable, or type 3 0x01.

This is some serious downtime!

2/12/2005 4:01:57 PM

go figure, and guess what, http://www.progress-systems.com is down too

i swear it shouldn't be too hard to understand, as a web host your company domain shouldn't be on the same server as your clients, hence if the server goes down, so does your support....

why is this so difficult to do???

Just wanted to let you guys know that i am here. Ive been working on this pretty much all day.

The servers are fine and alive, but we dont have internet access to an entire rack.

I had set up forums on a different box, but that box is in the same rack on our file backup server. Im now looking to purchase hosting somewhere else for this sole purpose.

Ill update you guys more, but until the data center figures out what theyve broken, Im sitting here with nothing to do but yell at them.

Ill post more as i know more. As far as i can tell, the main router for the rack just died around 10:30 this morning.

2/12/2005 5:17:32 PM

I dont want to say that we are totally back up, but i think the server most of the sites are on is up. They may yet have to bring the rack down for short bursts to mess with the network, and they may not depending on how i feel about this router. It came up shortly for a minute or two, then went down again, now they say they have it up and stable, but i need to be convinced.

Sorry for the downtime, if you want to talk about it privately, PM me and we can talk.

Also, i would like to get some feedback from you regarding a new site layout.

It will be rolled out with the forums and some other nice features. Its still a work in progress and the links have been disabled on purpose.

2/12/2005 7:07:36 PM

2/12/2005 11:41:10 PM

atleast when enable goes down it is due to a data center fuck up, not server mismanagement crap like it was with enable.

2/12/2005 11:54:02 PM

^I think you said that wrong?

2/13/2005 12:01:13 AM

just at first glance the front page looks much better so far

much more professional

2/13/2005 12:14:20 AM

ah fuck, and it's been 30 min

i meant to say "at least when progress goes down..."

2/13/2005 12:36:35 AM

it would be great if hassel would push my domain over

this mofo better hope he doesn't get in a situation where he needs credibility because I'll be speaking the loudest against him

2/13/2005 12:43:22 AM

the new site looks great. it look sharp and professional

2/13/2005 10:23:25 AM

Cool, i have bought space at an offsite host for forums, not even in the same datacenter as me. Ill be rolling all of this out next weekend.

Thanks for the comments on the site, just shows what you get when someone with some talent works on it.

2/13/2005 10:50:25 AM

down..grrr.

2/24/2005 11:52:56 AM

yeah hopefully it'll be back in a few

PLEASE

2/24/2005 11:57:26 AM

yep

2/24/2005 11:58:10 AM

Its wierd, some people can access it and some cant.

Im investigating.

2/24/2005 12:07:05 PM

OH WE BACK

2/24/2005 12:31:40 PM

Yeah, ive verified it is now working for everyone. Not sure what was down really, i am still waiting on traceroute from someone who could access it all along.

I did however use the opportunity to get the power strip swapped out for a smart one.

2/24/2005 12:36:28 PM

In case you didnt know, we are experiencing the same problem as yesterday.

Im on it, maybe itll be down enough for me to find out whats going on for real.

2/25/2005 1:54:21 PM

DOH, its not the same problem as yesterday:

Quote :

"REMOTE REBOOT MIGRATION 02/25/05 This migration is now underway The migration is scheduled to take place between 0700 and 1700 CST (-0600 GMT). Part of the process will involve removing and replacing your power cable. We highly recommend that you perform full backups of your system prior to this maintenance window. The estimated downtime for each server will be approximately 20 minutes, barring any problems with your server. Our technicians will verify that migrated servers are powered up properly and continue to function smoothly. The following subnet ranges will be affected by this maintenance: 216.127.74.2-145 216.127.76.2-140 216.127.78.2-140 216.127.80.2-140 216.127.82.2-140 216.127.84.2-140 216.127.86.2-140 216.127.88.2-140 207.44.160.2-100 << THATS US 207.44.150.2-100 "

If they had given me advance warning, i would have let you guys know, but this came as a suprise to me as well.

So as soon as they are done fixing my remote reboot capability, it should be back online.

Naw, this is nothing like enable. Unfortunately, today was out of my control. I didnt have much option here.

On the good news front, ive been waiting for this hardware, it also gives me remote KVM even during bios operation. Not that it matters to you guys, but it gives me a little more control over whats going on with the servers.

Ill be sitting here till the server is online and verified working.

ah well
hope I did not loose anythign important

2/25/2005 3:12:58 PM

^your smtp server typically should go through your ISP

this is not a server issue, it's a networking issue

2/25/2005 3:21:08 PM

STMP is fine. This is my info@jerimiahscc.com acount on progress, I am looking to see if any of the INCOMING REPLIES were LOST due to the server being wierd

2/25/2005 3:27:32 PM

nah they'll be fine

if the server that forwards them to the progress pop-server finds it to be down, it continues to try for quite a long time

so you should be fine

oh and OH WE BACK

2/25/2005 3:34:42 PM

Yeah, that took about 6 times longer than the quoted 20 minutes in the notice they had up for me. I apologize to everyone effected. Ill be asking for some type of reimbursement, and if i get it, I will pass it on to you as well.

This should have been done in the middle of the night, not middle of the day.
