[RESOLVED] Site Flaky?

[Mori Chu]

I have also noticed the outages. I just sent a support email to Dreamhost. They have a page about outages; it says that servers along the west coast were recently moved and updated, and I think that may be responsible for it. But hopefully they can look into the issue.

FYI. Here's what Dreamhost said:

Thank you for contacting Dreamhost.

I apologize for the inconvenience, the Apache service
needed a quick reboot.

It is back up and your sites should be operating normally.

If you are still seeing issues with the site please try clearing your
browsers cache and flushing the DNS.

http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Flush_DNS

If that doesn't work, please send us a traceroute.

If you have any other questions please let me know!s

Thanks!

I saw the issue again as soon as I read this but then I went and cleared my cache and flushed my DNS and so far, so good.

[Superbone]

I'm still having some issues but it's not as bad. Anybody else?

It was fine until that move or whatever and then bam!

Was good for awhile yesterday, hadn't been to able to login in since last night until now.

Mori, do you have access to the Apache error logs? If not, you may want to request those and review what could possibly be causing the site to sputter and die.

maybe it's time to move to another host.

Still waiting for you to drop me an e-mail, Mori. carey dot adams at gmail.

The last few weeks at my work have just been nuts. I pulled an all-nighter on Saturday of all days and then spent all of Sunday grading tests. I'll email Dreamhost again tonight and also try to get the Apache logs. It's possible that we have something set up wrong in the site that is just showing up now, but I can't imagine what. More likely they are just flaking out on us and moved us to a crappy new server. If it keeps being bad I'll consider taking my business elsewhere. We don't have THAT much traffic; it can't be us overwhelming their servers.

[Superbone]

I couldn't get on all of today until just now. Everything was fine to begin with. It was after the server move that things went to pot.

[Phoenix219]

it was fine earlier, and then down for hours until just now.

[iLLmatic]

Sites been down all day for me... I even had to go back to RealGM to get my fix.

[iLLmatic]

If they are asking for traceroutes let me know, I'll be happy to provide one.

It's been just really bad. I actually have several other domains also hosted by Dreamhost (buildingjavaprograms.com, webstepbystep.com, martystepp.com) that are all also having the same issues, so I know it's nothing related to the board's content. I sent Dreamhost a freak-out email but no answer yet.

Shouldn't you have called it websteppbystepp.com?

Either way, Mori - if you're paying for this, it's an out-and-out crime.
