Ow.

Okay. So the server paniced and rebooted. Except it refused to finish the boot process.

[insert much prodding of assorted services]

So we’re back, after server load crashed and completely obliterated MySQL, requiring restoration of the database from backups. Fortunately, those backups were all of ten minutes old (excluding times where data couldn’t be collected), so it’s not too horrible.

I think everything’s back up. Except cron. Now to restart AjaxLife again. *waits impatiently on new server*

    I feel for your servers Kate, and Zack is right it does suck. I don’t know if you have seen my post about you throttling the amount of users on AjaxLife. I don’t know if you can do that. (Duh. It’s Kate, of course you can)

    In response to Matt’s post:
    She won’t talk to you seriously until you spell her name right (hint: its 2 “a”s and 1 “e”,

    Katharine, i think you need a support team, to help make sure your servers stay online and boot correctly.

    Caboose – I don’t think she does if she will make it open-source once it’s ready.
