New Web/DB Server Installed Soon

Post by Phade » Wed Nov 23, 2005 12:11 pm

Hey All,

You have probably noticed that the main site can suddenly be really really slow sometimes and then back to normal. Sometimes this takes a few mins, sometimes a few hours (if not spotted by an admin).

To put a stop to this sluggishness, we've gotten an additional web/DB server. The machine has been delivered to Derobert, who is now testing and configuring it before installing it in our data center. The testing/setup should be completed the weekend and the server ready to install next week. When the new additional server is installed, the site may be unreachable for a little while but should be back soon after.

I'll reply here when the server is going to be installed just so you know. Thanks again and have fun!!

Phade.

Yoko Status Update

Post by derobert » Thu Nov 24, 2005 12:11 pm

Working on installing Debian on the machine right now. Having a few problems with the installer being stupid, but I think I'll have the base system installed shortly. Currently well on schedule for having this server installed early next week.

edit: 17:22:03Z: Fixed minor installer problems, it just finished booting. Configuring the base system now.

edit: 19:40:54Z: Have been copying the database for a while, and will be doing so for a while longer still.... Dang thing is HUGE....

You should all go watch <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... ようこそようこ</a> while waiting.

Hopefully "implement and test runaway query killer" is in there somewhere :P

Runaway query killer has been running since yesterday on Yuri.

Anyway, server build is basically done... Need to schedule a time to install it at the colo.

I take it that the servers are being taken down at this time and the new ones are being put in. I tried downloading some videos and it comes up with:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I had to do some re-wiring at the colo to install <a href="http://Yoko.AnimeMusicVideos.Org/">Yoko</a> so video downloads are temporarily broken until I re-configure a few things.

That's quite a server. :) 8GB of RAM should cover all sorts of query caching.

You'd think so, but Yuri had 8GB too. MySQL's query cache gets flushed far too often by updates to the members and videos tables, for example.
