Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Axiom's Web Server must have crashed tonight?

What is up with that, don't they have DR in place

guess not.

Even with fancy stuff like clustering and HA, there's always still downtime, right?

Anyway, How did you post your post if they were down, hmmmm?

Ya, I noticed that. Couldnt get on and didnt know what to do with myself. This board and learning all the things there is to learn is addicting!

Wait until you've been around for a year or so like me, it is very addicting, will I every measure up to Ajax/Tharkun/Craigsub/PMbucko/Brigman...etc....etc....

I'd say you already do my friend, IMO. For whatever it's worth.

DR is typically reserved for mission-critical servers. Apparently we didn't make the cut.

At 1977, you're getting pretty close. Well, not to Peter or me, but hey...

You lied to me today. You said I had 6500 posts.

So sorry, what's 300 posts beteween friends? Besides, I said 6700. Or something. I don't remember now. Frankly, I'm surprised I can type.

Let's clue everyone in here. Ken had two beers with Adam and me tonight. Cut his some slack, ok guys?

As an addendum to that, I only weigh 120-125 lbs. So...

And I'll leave you at the magic number of 69!



Sutter

I,...um,...er...try to never stop at at 69, but...uh...go all the way?

Yeah Ken, you got me there, but with a DOB of 1967 I've got ya beat. Maybe we could trade...

Dude, you need to start bulking up, my wife weighs 130 and it 5'8". For me I'd like to get back below 200, maybe if I got off my a$$ from this computer and started a routine excercise program it would help..

200 I have not seen that in quite some time.
Darn scale must be on the blink.

Yeah for me 240 is just around the corner, I need to create a new Axiom excercise program...

Just how many did Suttercane have. . .


Holy mackerel.

I don't know, but if I lived any closer, it would have been one heck of a road trip.

I wonder if load balancing or server farming would have helped in the crash?

No offence to us forum folks, but I doubt the forums are on the top of Axiom's list for "mission critical" system support.

This is true about the forum but the home page wouldn't come through.I think it's safe to say that without being able to get to the home page sales could suffer.That would be a priority to Axiom, wouldn't it ?

Time is money, that's for sure, heck look at poor Nick Buol, he got the axe because of a network outage that was not his fault. Sometimes these things can't be predicted, as some managers think. My manager thinks we always have to be proactive and fix the problems, not the symptoms. Maybe in a utopia, not the real world.

>>This is true about the forum but the home page wouldn't come through.

Ahh, I missed that. Yes, definitely the home page and product pages would be mission critical for a company like Axiom. My mistake...

It might have been a DNS issue totally out of their control.

Well, the site only crashes when all the conditions are primed: in this case, our webmaster was out of the country. I was away on 'girls weekend' which meant Ian was out on 'boys night' and of course, it was a Saturday! Combine all of those things and the conditions are perfect for a crash.

Site went down over a PHP issue and our webhosts switched to our backup server; about an hour later they switched back to the production server and we've been running on it ever since. Still looking into the PHP problem here (and the VISA problem).

There are probably more people on the forum who can help with the PHP problem than with the Visa problem

Hmmph. As I recall, Axiom WAS my Visa problem for several months...

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Personally it's a MasterCard problem, but the root cause is identical.
