What's wrong with the board?

It keeps going offline, at least from how it appears here. Then it'll be back up like nothing happened, until it goes down again. This started late yesterday or today.
 
DCF needs to update.... beeps asked the same question yesterday
 
Yeah. The host is a bit whacked today.
I'm monitoring it and asking questions.

From what I see, the web server software keeps hacking up bits all over the computer room floor.

It's likely some sort of denial of service attack making the service go bloogy.
 
You really think it's a Dos attack? I thought that would be one of the possibilities much lower on the list of stuff to check.
 
and I do need to update.

However, now I'm a little hesitant to start the process if the host is going to drop out from under me while I do it. AS soon as I see that it's stabilized, I'll go at it.

I'd like to do it this week.

Yeah, it's happened to them before. It ahppens all the time to all hosts.

New stuff comes out or even just some dickhead pounding the host with traffic for fun or revenge. Those are the guys that get caught though.
 
It's running a few code revisions behind.

That's been on purpose until recently. The newest major version had a lot of changes in how enhancements were added. I was purposely waiting until things got sorted out with a bunch of the enhancements we use here.


With regards to the outages, there's more going on than I thought.

They actually decided to move a router from one data center to another yesterday. That'd explain the big outage I see in the logs early this morning EST.
They didn't alert anyone because it takes 5 days to e-mail everyone and the window for maintenance came up just yesterday. So they had to jump at the chance while they had it.

That doesn't explain why I see the http daemon failed when I look at the server status. That, however, is back up and running fine.
That's what made me think it was a DOS attack.
 
I really have to stop going into the admin. section. :D heeehehhhehhheee. ;) What? Its my toy and I can break it!
