Site Down

2008-06-27T06:53:00.000-07:00

I've sent email off to support. More details as I get them.

2008-05-23T00:47:00.001-07:00

And she's back.

As part of the effort to bring you the shiniest conversation in town, I'm bringing the server down for a backup tonight. Also expect some rebooting action in the near future.

But for now--as of 12:20am Friday, May 23rd, a backup will be taking place.

b.org is very very slow.

Right now, the load average on www.buffistas.org is about 30, and is spending about 95% of its time in an iowait state (waiting for disk read and writes). There is no free memory on the system, and it is swapping like crazy -- the system is thrashing.

2008-05-09T21:41:00.001-07:00

Buffistas.org will be going down for a version upgrade at 10pm PDT Saturday the 10th of May. Shouldn't be more than an hour.

Buffistas.org is v. slow

From what I can tell, iStrata is performing some sort of maintenance on the server right now.

2007-06-04T08:19:00.000-07:00

www.buffistas.org isn't serving up pages right now. I can't get in to check the PHP conf file (TomS, if you can, can you make sure that register_globals is enabled) from here, so I've sent an email in to support.

And, we're up.

Maybe they needed to be prodded? Anyway, the software upgrade didn't work. Here's the text of the email:

It should be up now. We ran into a problem with the migration. The
utility that converts the backup from the 7.5.4 based server to the 8.1.1
server failed. Now that we have a 7.5.4 backup from your server we can
use that to debug the problem with the conversion utilitity. Once we have
that issue resolved, we'll plan another live data migration. This utility
is new to Plesk 8.1.1 and probably has a few kinks that need to be worked
out.

No it's not back up, yes I'm chasing them down.

More info as I get it.

For real, yo

The board will be down for approximately three hours starting 8PM Pacific (board time) on Sunday the 20th of May in order to upgrade both hardware and software.

Whoops!

2007-05-14T09:24:00.000-07:00

The site didn't go down for upgrade this past Sunday (the 13th) because of crossed wires, and is now scheduled to go down for same on the 20th of May, 9PM through about 12AM.

Downtime warning

The board will be down for approximately three hours starting 9PM Pacific (board time) on Sunday the 13th of May in order to upgrade both hardware and software.

Uhm, it's down.

It's not just buffistas.org, but our entire ISP is down right now. Maybe they were up at 3:00am moving equipment. Yeah, that's it. Moving equipment @@.

Someone should call it in, but I don't have the number.

Just so's you know

2006-10-12T15:19:00.000-07:00

Tech support reports it was a temporary (duh) outage caused by equipment being moved.

And we're back!

2006-10-12T14:56:00.000-07:00

No idea what happened.

2006-10-12T14:01:00.000-07:00

As of right now, the buffistas.org domain is unreachable. A support ticket has been logged with our hosts.

2005-09-09T12:53:00.000-07:00

The control panel vendor signed in last night to troubleshoot the upgrade that's been causing intermittent problems this whole week. Their work left the HTTP server down -- it was restarted early this morning.
