[Solved] Ricky down

[dl5ark1]

Ricky is down since more than 2 hours.

What´s wrong?

 

[dl5ark1]

The problem seems to have been the IP address 46.89.243.98, now it works again (with new IP address).

[dl5ark1]

Now I see in a row the account suspended page. Can you please reactivate the account?

Your IP has being blocked. You were failed to login through the FTP.

 

Unblocked.

[dl5ark1]

Browser cache cleared, but the same message "Account suspended.". Please re-enable my account, the primayr problem is not the blocked IP.

What’s your account username? I’ll look it up for you and let you know.

[dl5ark1]

My account username is dl5ark.

Causing high server load. /home/dl5ark/public_html/blitzortung/blitzortung.php

 

Whatever that script is, it's using too many resources. Please fix or remove it.

 

Unsuspended. It should start working again in a few minutes.

The script has been temporarily disabled. I used this script for many years on Tommy without any problems. It records lightning (weather) in a MySQL database. Perhaps the current summer weather with thunderstorms leads to higher utilization than usual.

It's possible. Ricky also is more sensitive to resources than Tommy, mostly because there's fewer resources to go around. Tommy's hardware is from 2011/2012. Ricky's hardware is from 2005. Moving to Ricky from Tommy is a major step backwards from a performance standpoint.

 

Our load limits are dynamic, and when the server is being beat on like Ricky is, the system has a lower tolerance for load before suspending you. If everyone else was idle (which of course is never the case), you could theoretically use the entire server without getting suspended. However, when there's 1000s of other sites trying to use those same resources, outliers who are overusing (compared to other users) are more likely to end up suspended.
