Site currently down

January 25, 2009

HTTPD stopped working sometime this morning (was not working as of 10am ET).  Did not come back up after repeated attempts to restart it, so Settler4 is being rebooted and further troubleshooting is underway.

Currently down due to HTTPD and MYSQL issues

January 2, 2009

Gramphos took down Apolyton 2.0 due to issues with HTTPD and MYSQL.  The post table in MYSQL got corrupted, and he is attempting to repair it (OT showed no posts on the first page at the time).   It is going slowly.

Separately, HTTPD/Apache is causing huge memory leaks, to the point that after about 20 minutes of runtime, 2GB RAM and 2GB Swap are taken up, at which point the server crashes.  He took down HTTPD to ensure that the server wouldn’t crash while attempting to rebuild the post table.

Once it is done rebuilding, if someone notices please restart HTTPD.
