    We've been working this non stop today. Trying to isolate where the slowdowns are coming from.

    Have to say, I wasnt expecting to pick up this type of outside BS when I started hosting the LATOC stuff.

    Will get past it... just feeling a bit beaten up today.

    ???

    Is it a DOS?

    If it's a jinx, Nymphie either did it, or she can fix it.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for your great effort and dedication Alex. If you feel those numbers are "back to normal" then it is out-standing in a field I know nothing about. Good work.

    We are back and running. Lots of testing concluded that something corrupted our install of Apache on the new server. So tomorrow or soon we will redo the entire install from scratch.

    For now we are on the backup server (the first one) and running solid.

    I hope you all know how much I appreciate your patience. I wouldnt call myself superstitious but I have never seen a string of shit luck like this since the LATOC implosion. There has been more issues in the past 4 months than the last 12 years combined running forums. Was beginning to doubt I knew what the hell I was doing. I bet others are as well.

    But I cant quit. Never quit. It's not the doomer way :-)

    Thanks again everyone!!!

    Alex

    Well, given that we have run through the night and the instant issues cleared up we think we might have a handle on it.
    Going to let it run for another 24 or 48 hrs on the current setup. If it stays solid then we will move it back to the fast server again this weekend with the fix in place.

    Total accesses: 1,726,045
    Total Traffic: 6.3 GB
    CPU Usage: .37% CPU load

    Just an FYI.. I have had the new server ready to go but with the events of this weekend and thus far today, i am waiting as i dont want to bring us down for any period of time.
    I know we're not running super fast but right now, it seems uptime is more valuable that lightning speed.

    Just a quick reboot to get some speed back. If the news calms down this week we will move to new server.
