Sorry about the downtime lately. This server had 2 things going on with it that was different than our other two servers.

For those that are tech oriented:

1) This is our only ssl enabled server. In the apache config file I failed to add in the ip of the server so it was trying to bind to 0.0.0.0:443 which was causing apache to spawn lots of servers on graceful restart (which brings us to number 2)
2) This web server has an auto restart script for some of the logs. This was fine till I introduced the problem #1. So at the end of the day, the server had a few hundred webservers all haning out (aka, hooligans). The temporary fix was for me to log in every few hours, stop all httpd processes and start fresh.

The problems were minor and downtime should have been minimal. I've fixed the problem so crossing my fingers I won't have to log onto the server 6 times a day to monitor the httpd processes Smiling Please email me if the server stops responding again (the name I'm using to post + @ + name I'm using to post + drink.com) Take that spam bots!

But if fingers have to be pointed lets find an ogre or a necro to blame. Better yet, Ogre Necros! Smiling

rofl!

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means you have decided to see beyond the imperfections.
