(Anthere anthere6@yahoo.com):
Say Lee, the last connexion to the french wiki was done at 11:21 am It was down from 11:21 to about a couple of minutes ago (that is 20:23) Between these two times (so ... 9 hours...), absolutely NO connexions were possible I just checked ...was the same on the en apparently
so....which traffic ? from where ? from who ? any idea
Well, that's the first time I'd heard that. And there's only one server: just because there's no traffic on one of the many wikis doesn't mean the server isn't busy as hell.
The only message I got this morning was "the wiki is down". That didn't tell me anything, so I logged on and saw that the CPU load was maxed out, and that there were hundreds of active connections. Looked like regular traffic to me.
It seems to be responding better now after the kick, but I'm reluctant to restart the server (which involves breaking all active connections) unless I get a more specific report than "the wiki is down".
