wolstech Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 Title says it all. Apache is down on Johnny (and has been for the past several hours based on the monitor). Can you take a look at this?
Krydos Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 I'm not sure what was going on so I just rebooted Johnny. It's been a while since he had a full reboot anyways.
wolstech Posted August 9, 2017 Author Posted August 9, 2017 Did the reboot fail? The cPanel and FTP never went down as I'd expect to see for a Johnny reboot (I know Tommy is too fast to see on the monitor, but this is Johnny we're talking about, he's not exactly known for being prompt when it comes to restarting things).
Krydos Posted August 9, 2017 Posted August 9, 2017 No, the reboot worked, and it was pretty fast. See the little orange section around 7:45 PST? I think I figured out the issue. Someone has an image that became suddenly very popular. It probably got posted on Reddit or something, and there are literally thousands of IP addresses with only one connection open trying to download that photo. The downtime is too much even for Johnny though so I've suspended the account, and things should start working as normal again soon. Sorry it took me so long to figure it out. I've been pretty busy this morning. @admins It will show up in the system as a DDoS attack. Go ahead and unblock anyone who requests it.
