Our Sysadmin Brian advises that we're getting a new uninterruptable power supply (UPS), so the site will go offline for about ten minutes sometime very soon, within an hour or less. Thanks, Blake | ||

so... it doesn't have at least a dual power supply? MY server has hot swappable drives, processor blades, power supplies and nic's... that's how cool I am.  | ||

A dual power supply won't do any more then a single power supply if there isn't any power at the plug... :-p | ||

The pwnman is right. Plug 1 power supply in at a time - assuming your UPS is external  It would not surprise me if this forum was running on a workstation of some sort. I built a forum for work a few years back using an old desktop that was in the "liquidation pile". It took a little tuning and a 2nd drive to split I/O, and MSSQL 2000, but I was very impressed how many concurrent users a 733Mhz P3, 1GB RAM Intel box could support. Even with file attachments. Then again I still have an old UNIX box (sun sparc 5 running since 1995) that's performing at almost the same level of service with 1/3 the resources. Blake, I'm sure the new box is way better than the ones I talk about above, but I was wondering what's really under the hood of Badweb? Are you guys running 64-bit now? I recall you saying you were going to a multi-core processor. Your error pages look like IIS pages, so I'm pretty sure you're using windows. | ||

Doon, I believe you are correct. Another enhancement brought to you by internet exploder. CentOS aye? I have not used this flavor of linux yet. If its anything like the others, I bet it does well once you get things configured. | ||
| Doon |
too many versions of linux to keep track of, and too many ways to configure each nowadays I am a freebsd guy myself (have 30+ servers running it now). Centos is basically a rebranded version of RedHat Enterprise Linux. tracks the same changes, just built from the publicly released sources. | ||

Outage this morning between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. EST was due to Verizon working on our comm line. Apparently a poor ground was the issue. Hopefully this will put an end to the very frustrating intermittent outages we have been experiencing. Thanks for bearing with us. | ||

And again this afternoon due to Verizon working the line. !#$%! This is hopefully the end of it. |
