Downtime for just army.ca and Afghan Operations?
« on: September 08, 2010, 00:17:47 »
For both today, and yesterday I have experienced downtime for the army.ca domain, and Afghan Operations.

What I see is for army.ca:

A blank white screen with the URL of the page in the title.

and for Afghan Operations:

A blank area for where the Afghan Ops content should be (the regular Facebook stuff is still there).


I further investigated this, and it seems that it is only army.ca. The other three domain names still work properly. This is pretty strange to me, considering the four domains (if I am not mistaken) run off of the same server and files. The Facebook game being down is also strange.

Thanks.

Good, I'm not losing my mind.  I'm going through withdrawal.
Don't piss me off.  I have two older brothers, work with a bunch of men, and I can kick their asses!

Same here, at 05:30 (Eastern).

But the symptom is the same as I described a few days ago: blank screen on Army.ca but Milnet.ca and the Navy and AF versions works fine.

And, at 06:10, Army.ca is back. Just like last time.

Hmm. That's pretty strange. I guess that fix to the cache file wasn't as successful as Mike had hoped.

The bulk of them probably were Google spiders. They crawl in packs ... herd? ... flocks? .... what do you call a bunch of spiders, besides scary?

The load may also be caused by other things going on with the server at the same time. I try to schedule all the heavy tasks for night time, but sometimes if it's urgent I end up running something during the day, which may cause a slowdown. I'll try to keep the disruptions to a minimum. :)

I'm also chasing down a solution to the white screen problem.


Cheers
