Today's Server Down Time
« on: January 19, 2009, 09:06:55 PM »
The reason the site was down as explained...

Quote
I have found that the latest version of apache that we compiled onto your VPS
has a very large memory leak. I am recompiling your apache build right now to
fix this, and am also crediting your account for $15, because of the extended
downtime.

The $15 credit is nice of them and not something mediatemple ever did.

Was it down again? I had troubles connecting today.

Trick is, I have changed iternet provider, so it could be some problem on my side as well.

Dear great9126;

There must be another reason why, because the moments of heavy traffic mostly corresponds with all other then the start time of the site downs.

Good Luck!

You may safely ignore great9126 post, his only agenda is to spam the forums with link to online dating site. Link deleted, user banned.

I opened a support ticket with the title, "All traffic stopped to chemicalforums.com starting 7:58 am pst" yesterday. It didn't get their attention, because it didn't have the magic words, "site is down" anywhere in the ticket. Lesson learned.

Why do you have a problem with people finding help from old posts?

Um...what?  ARGOS isn't saying that.  However, there is always a steady stream of traffic, and ARGOS found a neat little way to discover when the server goes down.  You can see 5ish minute gaps where there is no one browsing anything.  Indicating the site was temporarily inaccessible.
