Space down?

[LongIslandJam]

space down? racerhub.com isnt up?

[mambogani]

its down again!! Why is always sick??

[blade83]

man, my database is down on space, not pleased...

[djeaux]

http://www.djeaux.com on space is also out for the count this morning.

I sent a support ticket to Powweb, got the auto-confirmation, but haven't heard anything. Well, it's just now a quarter to seven in L.A. so I'll let the guys get some caffeine into their veins.

Space has always seemed to be a bit fragile, before and after the switch to the Netapp...

[GoodWord]

I think you all are mistaken. It must be a problem with our computers, because we are always told that Space has a 99.7% uptime. Anything beyond that point must be our fault.

Why is it always Space?

[blade83]

haha okay, well my entire website is down on space, not just the db as id thought ;]

mrblade.net

[alphadesk]

I've also reported this to admin.

Heya djeaux...a thought to ponder ;)

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile space is

[mambogani]

does anybody know of a truly excellent monitoring tool, besides InternetSeer, that will constantly monitor your site..because in my case today, I was only alerted by a user that the site was down - internetseer seems to be asleep half the time. Wish I'd started logging all the downtime a year ago - we would have some proof today of how ridiculous the 99.7% figure is - its truly way out there in space!! (pun intended!)

[bigblockgt]

My site is down and it's on space.
Just wondering, if space is down, I wonder why my site in OPS says it's up and running? and where is the ADM post saying it's down?

It's hard to sell products when your site is down...

I use websitepulse.net but I dont think it is much better than Internet seer... I know there is nothing worse than getting a call from an irate client wondering why their web site isnt up! Something that Ive had to put up with a lot lately... especially with sites I have hosted on space.

[SDRadio]

POWWEB, can't you fix Space? It's not up the time it's advertised.

I can ping space.powweb.com and my site, sdradio.net ... but there's no http or ftp activity.:(

[hyper]

Im starting to feel like a real whinger... Most of my post on this forum are complaints... perhaps this has something to do with the frequency in which my site on space seems to be down?

[dave-g]

Help! What's wrong with space? I have no ftp or http activity.
I have a client waiting!

[silverhd]

I can't believe it. Space is down again!!! What's going on?

Yeah thanks Powweb...
space rebooted itself and is now fscking its filesystem. it will be back online shortly.
I though it was already pretty fscked!

It appears I spoke too soon...space was up for less than 10 minutes, now it seems to be lost again....

[dave-g]

Thanks, my site is back! Phew!

btw, what does it mean when something fscked? (sort of a cross between f.cked and s.cked?)

[dave-g]

no ftp here either. You're right, I spoke too soon. Called my client and told him it was OK now too!

[SDRadio]

"space rebooted itself and is now fscking its filesystem"

wow, it's <censored> the filesystem right now! It's all <censored>-upped!

<censored> <censored>! I can't <censored> believe it. <censored> <censored>. I wish they would <censored> <censored> <censored>.

thanks, hope the <censored> works.

[coan.net]

I just signed on for the first time today, and my site of space is down.

Read the announcement saying it was back up, but nope - still down for me also! :-(

[blade83]

lol - fsck'ing does not take over an hr... I dont care how large the drives are...

[blade83]

Hosting my own MySQL server on my dynamic IP would result in less downtime... I'd rather not start hosting all my own sites and db's but dynDNS is starting to look better and better.

[maplesoft]

There is probably a lot going on these webservers that I don't understand, but it seems that with so many powweb servers out there that when one goes down, or reboots itself or fscking itself, can't another server take over? Maybe clustering is too expensive or complicated for powweb? Can't there at least be a redirect to a page that says the site you tried to reach is temporarily unavailable and to try again later?

Space is indeed "fragile"

[SDRadio]

In Space, no one can you scream.


Why?

The server is fsking itself!

:p

[dave-g]

Space seems to be coming in and out sporadically! right now it's out but a moment ago it was accessible.

Sorta like Klingons having trouble with their cloaking device...

I was delighted when I <I>finally</I> seemed to be able to view my site. But when I went to webstats -- hey, it was Monday morning a few minutes ago -- it disappeared again.

Is space fscking itself in a time warp?

[blade83]

Haha well, as much as I love to sit around waiting for servers to come back online, this is pretty ridiculous. I havent found any time estimates, has anyone else?

[SDRadio]

It's about Time,
It's about Space,

it's about time that Powweb fixed SPACE ...


and the total numbers on line continue to go .... down.

now serving number 92 .....

[mambogani]

Its time to vote with your feet. I'm researching alternative hosts with a view to move. I can't see myself staying on past September when my renewal is due.

[blade83]

if you find someone of comparable price and features, let me know -- ill give it a try too

[silverhd]

I agree with you guys. Time to fold 'em. I'm very, very weary of this. I've lost too much time and way too much income putting up with this.

[blade83]

They are reinstalling the operating system?! How could it possibly have come to that point!?

Thats in the announcements forum under space.powweb.com.

hey my site is back up but it seems like everything's lost. WTF is going on? i'm royally pissed and thinking about moving ASAP. I've been doing business with PowWeb for three years and have never had so much trouble than these past few months with mySQL restrictions, e-mail problems, and now this garbage with space. I have four sites with you guys and many friends (around 10) that use you and is this the way you guys help us out. I'm royally pissed.

If you want to contact me you know where to reach me PowWeb!

I want some sort of guarantee that this BS will stop. I understand about unexpected outages, but it seems to happen more often lately.

I'm really disappointed in your service and lately and please do something about it soon. Thank you.

[coan.net]

Well hopefully they have good backups and are restoring things.

I have a copy of all my HTML stuff - but I have 4 different message boards (2 SQL still on Space, and 2 HTML based) which I don't have any backup's of.

Down for what... 1/2 a day now! UGH!

Do you happen to know when they did a backup? Did they do it last night (so I might lose everything from last night to the time the server went down) - or did they back it up before they restored the OS?

[blade83]

Its been more than 6 hours now... Any updates? This is completely unacceptable.

[Philatelius]

Another update would be kind of nice. Did somebody have to run down to Radio Shack to pick up a new battery or something? ;-). Any "new" news would be appreciated.

[coan.net]

Yea, one of my biggest complants about Powweb is that they are the worse company I have ever seen when it comes to updating people on problems.

They have refused to make e-mail list (to e-mail people when there are problems), and they don't believe in doing many updates.

Heck - if they would just post a quick message every hour or so saying that they are still working on it - I know it would make me feel a little better. (heck, right now I think they are out for an extended lunch)

space was down around 1 pm GMT. Exactly when it went down I don't know, but its now approaching midnight here - so that's a downtime of at least 11 hours!! Very very poor.

[coan.net]

I still think they should move the main www.powweb.com site to Space - then they would make sure it wasn't down for very long...... :-)

[dave-g]

This reminds me of the outage last year on July 24-27 on moon.powweb, which at the time was blamed on an "http attack" on the server.

At that time many of us were moved to space. We were also given 6 months free hosting to make up for the inconvenience!

Today I may have lost a client that I've been working on for 6 weeks. I hope this is not the case, but the timing could not have been worse.

[mambogani]

Over 13 hours now and we have yet to get an estimated on-line time, or an explanation as to what happened. I can't believe the RAM just packed up.

Do they have 24-7 technicians or have they gone home now?

Regarding that issue, did the users that were moved to space, moved back to moon once the server were back up?

I don't think this is the best solution. If email is the problem, you see the impending situation.

I think they should set up a new website, i.e. www.powwebstatus.com or something similar, hosted outside their network. That way if the whole data center goes down (highly unlikely with the exception of extended power outages), they can post the issues. On this page should be a current status of every server in the PowWeb data center.

Heck, if any PowWeb staff reads this - I'll donate my ISP webspace for this very idea. All PowWeb would need to do is register the domain name and redirect it to my ISP webspace. This probably isn't a long-term solution since the bandwidth isn't as high as it needs to be. But it'd be great for a test-run.

Any takers?

[Philatelius]

http://forum.powweb.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23275 It's an UPDATE! Doesn't really say anything except they're still working on it and hope to have an update soon...but it's an update!

I can't speak for everyone, but I know my site was permanently relocated to space ('mooned into space'). I remember re-uploading all of my files (>100 meg) the night of Jul 28, 2002 then finding out that they did it automatically for me so I ended up with 2 copies on my site (one in /htdocs).

FixGuy: Wait about 2 or 3 hours and post that we are looking into the problem. I'm heading home to feed my cats, then I'm heading out to Taco Bell for some food.

at the rate we're going now, my nameservers will probably propagate before space comes back... figured I should make efficient use of the downtime

[sandy]

Admins are still at the data center working on space. Sorry for the premature post in the announcements section. In a fluid situation, that can be expected. While there are problems in various areas, the staff always manages to get the systems back up. They do work as hard as those other systems where we clients would pay a significantly higher monthly fee.

On the other hand, I am still frustrated that there has been no reliable response as to why we don't have control over the access_log, as we used to, anymore. My friend's sites are dropping like flies, and their stats have dried up (and it's ONLY Tuesday)!

I think they aren't at powweb! All of the servers are in the same place: a data center that is about a 15 minute drive from our main office.

The reason the web servers we use for the site and this forum may seem to experience fewer problems than some of the client servers is because they are not shared, they are dedicated to serving up the sites that we run under the powweb.com domain. All of the servers themselves are nearly identical. But, understandably, the typical client server sees significantly more use than the powweb.com server. Of course, no server of any kind - dedicated or shared - can run forever without an eventual failure somewhere.

As soon as we hear back from the guys at the data center we'll let you know. Rest assured that they will be there until space is back up.

MJP, it's these kind of updates that I am requesting (I can't speak fo the rest of the Spaced out Space.Powweb.com hosters.

Hopefully up soon ... please.

It would be interesting to the vendor if you could supply them with the MTBF of what ever hardware (suspected) that went out. (I suspect hardware because of the issues; and the time involved. If it was just a reformat and reload the OS and server [I believe it's Apache and Linux or UNIX], it would be done by now. At this junction, it's probably hardware.)

Please admins, make it a short night by getting the server up and running.

Got Milk?

At least they got Orion back up and working - I was really getting worried for the users on that server, they were down for about 20 minutes or so - Can you imagin having your site down for 20 minutes!

[Bonez]

This must be Space's yearly outage - about this time every year, when the summer month's in California are a bit too hot for the wee A/C units in the data center, average operational temperature in the computer room goes through the roof and Space comes down.

..I think last year it happened around August - we just must be a bit ahead of the game this year.

Might be nice if you guys just swapped the hardware (or had hot standby systems that you could swap into place 'whole' rather than piecemeal troubleshooting component by component.) Maybe you do, I dunno - but some of the posts made by admins seem to allude to ths.

...fast approaching the 26.3 hours of downtime we're supposed to stay under each year (99.7% uptime.) I wonder if we'll get free months again.

It's been more that twenty-six hours of downtime since August 2002. It's nearly 17-hours today.

I'd rather have the server on line than free months.

[mambogani]

space down now for 18.5 hrs

we have gone over the supposed 26 hrs downtime that 99.7% refers to a long time back - space has been down for a LOT more than that.

There was a major outage earlier this year, I can't remember, I think Feb - when space was down for several days on and off, and eventually they moved everything to the netapp I think.

In between, space has also experienced various shorter outages - all in all, the 99.7% is a pipe dream.

anyone who thinks space has only been down a few times may be mistaken - if you have busy sites or you monitored it regularly, you would find this wasn't the case.

FTP is "going" - if you consider 0.1KB a second "going" ???

takes 4-5minutes to d/load a 10 KB file (by FTP)

Let's home today is a "smooth" one for the Powweb techs. Something tells me that some of them are tired & really don't want to have to deal with a major problem for a while. (As if any good tech ever wants to have to deal with a major problem...)

The FTP has been up & going "normally" for 30-60 minutes

Yes, it's down again. I don't know what's going on, but SOMEBODY better fix it. This is the worst.

People on powweb have clients and customers of their own and you guys are not helping at all. Get cracking. Fast.

This is unbelievable! It's down again. And I've just told my client (again) that it is up. My credibility is wearing thin (if not shot completely).

We CAN send an email to support @ powweb - or online via a web interface

- Powweb sends us some confirmation code thingee which we can track via our ops screen.

Stupid question :-

How can we view the track / request - if we never receive this tracking code thingee ?
(my site & email / FTP has been up & down all night & all today /last night too..)

P - Goodnight

HA HA HA - I was about to send out a few e-mails about my sites being back up, but I decided to be lazy and wait - And it paid off!

(ok, it's not that funny - not that funny at all)

I wonder if they care about our business? So many outages lately it seems like they want to expand and grab new customers while forgetting about their old ones. Seems like BAD BUSINESS to me!

Yea, I would much rather have my site up again - and soon. But they had better be thinking about doing something for us people on Space or they will lose some of us for other places.

yeah im totally fed up with space... this has been way too long and has happened more than once... Im leaving my other sites with POWWEB for now but honestly, I've lost a lot of faith as have friends of mine to whom I recommended POWWEB for what I thought was a good value.

I've switched my site on space to another provider and am pretty impressed with their services. I think POWWEB might start losing some recommendations here.

Who did you switch to? I'd like to check them out. I am feeling a bit embarrased that I have recommended powweb to others. The referral fees are nice, but I would also rather have reliable service.

Powweb, if you promise to buy a brand new server , I will donate some of my referral credits towards the cost of such a server if it runs for a year without any major downtime. And... I'll stay with you.

I used to recommend PowWeb in the droves. I was their biggest cheerleader, but now I feel like an idiot for doing so.:(

Hey, my FTP activity is back!
Let's hope for good this time.
