..CC server gonna fall over for good ?

As it appears to be 'downing' more than being 'up'!

I feel everyone needs a comment by Admin (Shaun) over this or do we need to buy shares in said Server for its 'upkeep'..

 

[alecstilleyedye]

there's a new server coming which, according to shaun, should keep the forum a bit faster and less likely to fall over.

Are you suggesting we launch a hostile takeover bid Yenrod?

Shauns not cheap mate - he wants a million !

you're confusing him with persons elsewhere in cyberspace

 

[domtyler]

A million Lira? No problem.

 

[Keith Oates]

What about a million Dong. A currency of which nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yenrod]

No, people - he did actually say he'd sell for a quid of everybody when the membership hits a million

Million Zim dollar?

Faxed back the order form today ...

Server we're using at the moment: P4 2.4Ghz, 512MB DDR RAM, 2 x 60GB HDD's ... New server: Dual Core AMD Athlon, 2GB DDR2 RAM, 2 x 250GB HDD's

The downtime has been due to memory issues on the server and network issues with the host. The 2GB of RAM should sort the server and AFAIK the hosting data centre is working on a backup connection that kicks in when the main one drops.

Not sure if the upgrade will be a case of transferring disks (no system software updates) or whether it will be a complete new build (in which case the server will be running the latest versions of Apache, MySQL, etc. but will need more configuration and testing work).

All of the above should help improve things, and keep us going towards that magic million users ...

Cheers,
Shaun

PS. It's also worth considering that Qango.com gets priority over CC - sorry!

Whaaaaaaat? Surely you have that the wrong way round? Aren't we your top priority any more?

What Dom meant to say, and I concur, is "Shaun, thanks for keeping all this going".

Right Dom?

 

[alecstilleyedye]

cheers shaun, we only have to look down the road to see how differently things could be 'round here.

keep up the good work

Much as the humanitarian me cares deeply about you all, and wants to put you first ... the money grabbing capitalist side of me won't let that happen.
