thewordlist Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Okay. Either I screwed up or someone abused one of my scripts. Either way, I'm suspended. I don't have a problem with that, in general. No one wants anyone to hog the server resources. That said, I submitted a help desk ticket and got a response within 20 minutes. Excellent! Just what I expect from TCH. Took me an hour to respond to the response (had to make dinner for my family). However, it has now been three hours and no second response. I feel this is too long to wait for a response, any kind of non-automated response. Am I being too impatient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarqFlare Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 2 hours can happen... I'd hold off a bit longer. I'm sure there are other things the techs are working on as well. Just hang tight, we'll get you going soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewordlist Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thank you so much. I know you are all so busy. I really want this resolved; I know it can be resolved, we just have to work together. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I've unsuspended your site. I'm pretty sure it was the new stats program you were trying to run. Sr. techs have been busy with server 26 for the last several hours so that's probably why you haven't received an answer to your ticket.

thewordlist Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks Mike! I'm running the stats program with DNS OFF this time, and just for the lines from 6-6-04. Please post if something looks wrong. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 everything looks ok at the moment, server loads are staying at a decent level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewordlist Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Rock Sign Again, thanks so much! It was the stats program and I set all options that access the pages for whatever reason (fetching title, etc) to off! That seems to have solved it.

annie Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I used to run a stats program on my old server. That worked at the start of the month, but it soon started timing out. At first I couldn't figure it out, but then I realized how resource hungry it was. I moved the program to a Linux box at home, and with a P100 it took over an hour to process my month long log file! So yes, the wrong stats program can cripple a server, and should not be run in a shared environment. I still miss that program (haven't used it in a while), because it gave a breakdown of referrers for EACH page on my site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarqFlare Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Wow annie, sounds like a monster program! I'd love to run things like that myself, but I am content with knowing what little I know, haha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Found it. This is the one: h*tp://awsd.com/scripts/weblog/index.shtml Do NOT run this on TCH! But it's a great script if you want that level of information on your site. Just make sure you set up an old machine, say with Red Hat at home. BTW, my old Linux box is a P100 and has way too small hard drive. I don't even bother running it anymore. And I don't have another machine I could set up like this, I'm using all of them for windows. Do you know of any way I could set up Linux temporarily on a windows machine in order to run THIS program? That's basically the only thing I really want a linux box for these days. Do you think Bochs would be a good solution? And guys, this is why I think that script is so good.

Madmanmcp Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Do you know of any way I could set up Linux temporarily on a windows machine in order to run THIS program? Well you already said that you had a small hard drive and that will not help. But what I would do is either get a larger HD or a second HD and run a dualboot.

annie Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 What I'm looking for is a way to occasionally run Linux inside a windows box (preferably an older one), without screwing up windows. And in such a way I could also run that statistics program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
