Hi folks, sorry for the interruption today. We has a server go bad and had to move AIR to a new server. Andy will be along shortly to post an update as soon as the new settings propgate to his ISP. He still can't see the site.

Thanks again for your indulgence.

Oh, I am SO glad it's getting fixed...what at thing to happen on this day of all days! I felt so out of it! I needed a forum fix!

Thanks for letting us know it's getting resolved, Janet...

It looks like my DNS settings updated so I can see the site on the new server. Sorry about the issues today. Did someone call the Grinch and ask him to pay a visit to our data center today? It seems there is some memory in the RAID card on the other server that is crashing and causing it to lock up. I am working to get more details to Dell so I can call them in the morning and get someone out to fix that server ASAP. For now we are running on a different server and it could take up to 24 hours for other people to gain access to the site again (we are running on a different IP).

I will post more info shortly and my appologies for the downtime today.

Andy, you are steadfast in keeping AIR Forums up and running. Sorry ... but thanks for spending part of this day taking care of this.

I've had 2 Dell servers w/ bad ram in the raid controllers. (identical hardware, purchased at the same time="bad manufacturing run").

a real B***H to figure out why the damn things would just randomly lock up tighter than a bullfrog's you-know-what. 'guess thats why they pay us the big bucks.

Would you mind PMing me the Model of those RAID cards and when they were purchased. I wonder if it's the same batch.

sure thing...but they're like 3 years old, so I doubt its the same issue. other than in the most general "if it happened once, it can happen again" sort of way.
