Computers are the cause of a lot of frustration.

Hi Everyone - Just wanted to post here that Dani is MIA for a little bit, she's keeping an eye on DaniWeb via her phone, but is away from her computer. I'm sure she'll be back at it soon!

This turned out to be a problem in the php-mysql module compiled with the default OS, switching from php-mysql to php-mysqlnd (the mysql native driver), enabled the character set to be used. Custom compiling, or using the nd package should fix the issue.

Should be fixed for now, looks like nginx isn't releasing file handles appropriately, I'll figure it out :)

That really depends on the type of computer you have, some of the older motherboards would be so expensive, that you might as well buy a new computer. I would start with the powersupply, and go from there.

We're working on making things a bit different on the DaniWeb/Dazah backend. As a result, there were some routing issues that caused logins to break today if you weren't already logged in. These should be fixed now, sorry for any inconvience.

Let me know if you get another one, while I believe the issue is fixed, I don't actually know that for sure because I have yet to find a root cause.

Currently I have 1.5 Terabyte on my home PC, I look forward to one of these new TeraByte drives to add to my PC :cheesy:

The email queue is completely empty except for those isp's that are rate limiting our emails. Can you send me a PM with your email so that I can look into why you are having issues?

Server didn't mount a filesystem correctly, should now be resolved.

Just checked the mail server we aren't sending any duplicate message id's, which means something else is going on specific to your account. Edit: I'm only showing unique messages leaving our mailserver, are you getting duplicates from any place other than DaniWeb?

Test line should be safe, but yeah talk about a bad day for sysadmins.

Fedora and Ubuntu are different distributions, which can run the same exact software. The major difference being their package management system, and their "default" configuration. Fedora seems to follow the old adage that an operating system shouldn't give a user "too much power". It requires you to go through and …

Last night she enabled site-wide SSL. Not sure if that would affect your API.

There is, and there was. We revoked a certificate, which may have gotten cached causing the above issues. Currently all web servers appear to be returning the correct certificate though.

The previous post was pretty much head on, one thing that I noticed is that if the /home directory does not have the +x flag to everyone, then it may not be able to go into your directory, may want to do chmod +x /home

Being great is good, making others Greater is truly great..

If anyone has the ambition, if you could hit http://gtmetrix.com/ and put in daniweb.com at a slowtime moment, it will help me to review 'past occurances' as well as server performance metrics. From the server load side, I'm showing mostly idle, with 0% packetloss of the last 24 hours, so …

400-600 million dollars is the lowest bidder? I would have liked to see that bid.

This should be fixed.

Yeah, I've had to restart some things a few times this morning, going to follow up with Dani when she gets up.

The application needs to release the ports before the new connection can be established. What you are describing is very similar to what a bit torrent tracker does, except it doesn't use specific ports, it just points the client to the other client and allows the OS to assign new …
