Server going Down?

[@ndy]

Last night and yesterday afternoon I couldn't access MIG.

Just told me network timed out, was on two separate computers and I could access various other sites.

I had the same problem yesterday...as you said the server probably went down for a bit

[LEE69]

It was down when i tried to log on, i left a note in the mods area but i never knew the time it went down, just when i was able to get back on.

There was a break in a main fibre optic cable in London last night which might have had something to do with it.

I thought it was just my works internet being ****e lmao

[OHC]

personally i think its because this place dont limit the amount of visitors that can be here, its kinda like when some one does a DOS attack on a site it slows it down and grinds it to a halt basically, alot of big sites i go on have DOS blockers and only allow 50-60 members and the site dosn't go slow unless some one does a DDOS attack (different to DOS, Denial Of Service and Distributed Denial Of Service, DDOS is unstoppable where as DOS is)

Mike did check this and he said there was a very full temp folder or something which he will sort.

[Dom]

Did we just have another major outage ????????

[Paul]

Yeh, been down here as well.
Reporting a database error

[Tom Williams]

Yeah I found my life and some dinner.

/tmp/ was full so had to restart the server to sort it. Should be ok now, not sure how /tmp/ got so full though.

Mount the /tmp/ directory to memory. It will speed up logging and clean itself every time the server is restarted.
