Recent Subsim server disruption thread

Onkel Neal · 12-28-09, 01:09 PM

My server tech and I are trying to locate and repair crashed tables in the forum db. We had one 20 minute server disruption just now, I will try to keep the outage to a minimum. Sorry for the inconvenience.

FYI: We may need to lock the forum for an hour or so, but this may not happen until tomorrow. I have to run over to the BB Texas and give some folks from Switzerland, France, and UK a tour.

Neal, any word on what has been causing the lock ups recently? I think we've had 3 downtimes this month alone.

So far, two different "experts" have been unable to detect what is causing server A to hang.

GWX? SH3Cmdr? Have they checked those?

Onkel Neal · 01-13-10, 11:42 AM

You mean, as downloads?

JScones · 01-13-10, 05:14 PM

No, I mean GWX and SH3Cmdr are usually seen as the cause for things like this.

Ah, never mind.

Dowly · 01-20-10, 06:26 PM

Neeeaaal! It's getting worse! I've had 3 separate forum downtimes in 6hrs.

Could it be that the server just cant handle the traffic anymore?

Yea, same...

JScones · 01-20-10, 06:29 PM

Yeah, in strongest Scottish accent: "She's a gonna blow Captain!".

Onkel Neal · 01-20-10, 07:43 PM

Haha, yeah, I have a guy doing things to it, crazy things, I'm afraid to ask. It's costing $$ so I hope to god he gets it figured out.

Task Force · 01-20-10, 08:15 PM

Err, I could fix him... just give me the cordinants...

Missle on stand-bye... lol

I'm about 2 reboots away from shutting this whole *@#^%$* thing down

Anyone recommend a really good SQL expert I can hire?

Dowly · 01-22-10, 09:27 AM

Ouch. So it's that bad?
