In the next hour or so the front end server will be down for an undetermined amount of time. We've been experiencing sporatic server crashes for serveral weeks and have finally determined the cause (got lucky and had a terminal screen opened this last time the system crashed and received a diagnostic error).

Either a CPU or ram stick is faulty, we'll determine which one and will replace it this evening. Sorry folks for any inconvenience.

 

Ken, out of curiosity, What sort of internet connection is FTE sitting on?
(the ISP techie in me is curious)

 

Location One
Multi-homed T3:
Primary database server, secondary database server and main web server.

Location Two (FTE Office)
1st T1: graphics and ads server
2nd T1: graphics server

Between all of them we use 2 to 7 Mbits slow to peak times during the course of the day.

 

cool, Thanks
