I've been curious what's used as a server. Xeon in a 2u chassis on a rack? I had a Xeon motherboard go bad when the IDE controller started generating corruption on drives. Certainly not cheap to replace. Most important thing are the backups.

It's the Illuminati watching my blogs. They don't like being exposed.

Thanks Todd...I didn't know what was going on!

Being completely computer illiterate.....I thought it was something my daughter downloaded.

Yes I was highly upset with her that evening. When I got back on the next day .....all was right with the world. I could access LP and connect with the LP family.

No harm ...no foul....and yes I apologized.

Have u ever noticed how tough crow is .....when u have to eat it. Dessert...humble pie.

Hey Todd, thanks for keeping us in the loop. I wish I could be of help on a technical level. When I read your post, I had some immediate thoughts that I'll share but, of course, for entertainment purposes only....

Sleeping on it is a very good idea. There seems to be potential for not sleeping/resting well. A time out and regrouping is important.

Something is going on that you don't know about - I don't think this has anything to do with your technical skills or abilities. I think the an... [ More ]

Thanks for the explanation Todd.

Obviously you confronted the dilema head on and met the challenge to get the site back up and running as quickly as possible.

Mercury went retrograde yesterday which always plays havoc with anything having do do with communications.

Thanks Todd, I was having router problems with my laptop-I used this board to test my connection availability. When it didnt work I got nervous. I was ready to bust open my laptop when i saw on my desktop that it worked later on. Thanks for the heads up.

FYI, to those who had an avatar that they uploaded to their member space on the Lottery Post web server, I had to disable your avatar, because none of the images are available. When the web server is fixed, you should be able to reset your avatar the way it was.

Thanks everyone for your understanding.

I have been able to temporarily reconstruct almost everything. The biggest missing piece is the Member Home Pages for premium members. That includes all the images that you've uploaded to Lottery Post, and any other content you stuck on the server. I won't be able to get that stuff up until the web server is fixed.

In the meantime, I've got the main site, blogs site, mobile site, Lottery Results Gadget, lottery results engine, and USA Mega running, s... [ More ]

It really must be in the air, I've had alot of trouble also with my servers, and at different locations. I've had trouble accessing my wireless, and trouble sending/receiving email at other locations.

I was wondering what happened for two hours...lol

Considering the massive task of maintaining a complex site as this, you did a great job Todd. It would be interesting to give us rundown of how a server goes down like this. Just for people like me who ar technically challenged...lol I would find it very interseting.

Of course after this is fixed.

As an educated guess i would say the answer lies somewhere in the vicinity of an overload? Yes? No?

I remember when I was working at a mark... [ More ]

The site has been down because my primary web server has died -- again.

Thing are looking very bleak, but I have managed to hobble together a working site on another server.

Some things may be missing, but there's not much I can do about that.

It may be some time before I can get things back to normal. I'll do the best I can.
