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.

My guess is the error messages you are seeing or IE's Helpful versions, not the ones the server is sending back.

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.

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.
