Ashoat Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Hey guys, Sorry, Cody had a kernel panic. No idea why that occurred... probably a bug in Linux. Service should be fully restored. Thanks, djbob
Piotr GRD Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 @ users If you would use external (not HelioHost) nameservers for domain names hosted in here, your websites either on Stevie or on Johnny would be still accessible in such case like this one. It's just were the problems with Cody - which handle this forums, hosting main page and nameservers, and only because of not functional nameservers users websites were unavailable. @ djbob I do know that having two seperate nameservers while there is a lot of domains/subdomains is a pain and takes a lot of servers resources to share/copy the zones between, but obviously having two nameservers would save users websites from being unavailable in such situation. Considering that Johnny makes the whole Charlie (including nameserver) intermittently unavailable even in normal day, this could be good idea to have two nameservers (of course depends on how much additional stress on servers would cause zone transfers between the two). Side note - that was really funny to see server load 0 (zero) on Stevie and almost 0 on Johnny (at the time when I've checked). ; D
Guest Geoff Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I wonder if running BSD on cody would be more stable than linux...
Ashoat Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 Hmm seems like cPanel/WHM works on FreeBSD... Probably not a good idea to reinstall everything, though. It would require lots of annoying reconfigurations and/or downtime.
Guest Geoff Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I was just recommending BSD on cody, which doesn't have that much installed. It might be a good idea if cody gets too unstable, but only if we really end up needing to. About downtime: done correctly, installing BSD would produce (theoretically) no downtime at all. We would just move Heliohost/Helionet to stevie, reconfigure cody, then move them back. About annoying reconfiguration: I would say switching cody to BSD would be more than annoying. It would require a good amount of work and/or frustration. Overall point: Switching cody to BSD w/out downtime is possible, but it would require (or waste, depending on how you look at it) a lot of your time.
