AjaxLife Blog

[7:09 GMT] And down again.
[6:12 GMT] And we’re back again. Woo!

AjaxLife is currently down, as the ajaxlife.net server is currently busily running updates and such. All other services from ajaxlife.net (e.g. login screen, maps, etc.) remain available.

This should, in theory, last under an hour.

So, the school year is finally finished, as of noon today. Woo! To coincide with this, the server running this site suffered a hardware failure, and everything had to be moved over, resulting in just under three hours of downtime. Meep.

Since SL is down, AjaxLife isn’t running, and server load is much lower. And I can work on chasing some annoying bugs too. Wee. And adding features and other fun stuff.

This post has the most categories per word on this blog. :p

This time the server was killed off by excessive load. But it’s back now.
Working on preventing this happening again..

And no, it didn’t get overloaded. I did something stupid.

I had to restart Apache while at school. However, I forgot my only means of accessing the server was via Apache. So apache stopped, and that was that.

After two hours and fifty-five minutes, I’m back. (and my server had a much needed rest)

This server will be down for maintence for an unknown length of time starting at 18:00 BST. It will have more RAM and disk space when it comes up - hopefully helping with the strain that AjaxLife places on the server.

While the server is down, TSL Profiles and *.katharineberry.co.uk. will be down. Additionally, the web functionality of the HUD Thingy will be down, and my maps will fail to rez. >.>

Thank you for your patience while we work to make things run faster and crash less.

[22:30 GMT] I have disabled Apache’s logs and removed MySQL’s logs, freeing up a significant amount of disk space. Still planning on upgrading.

The server running this blog, stats.katharineberry.co.uk, services.katharineberry.co.uk, katharineberry.co.uk, vps.tslemporium.com, tslurl.com, and various others, collapsed earlier, with messages like sed: couldn't write 1 item to stdout: No space left on device.

I have deleted 100MB of files, which will serve as a short-term temporary solution. The stats gathering and online status will have been nonfunctional during the downtime.

I will be adding more hard drive space ASAP. And more RAM too, since there are a few memory issues.
