Snoopy mysql server issues
The snoopy mysql server is having issues at this time, responding slowly over the network. It is being worked on now and should be working normally again shortly. You can check which mysql server you are on in the control panel under Status -> Mysql Usage. Our apologies for the issues.
- UPDATE: 12:11 PM PST -
The server seems to have some hardware issues, the data is being moved to a new faster mysql server right now. As soon as the data copy and configurations are complete, the databases will be working again. Again, sorry for the downtime.
- UPDATE: 2:32 PM PST -
Snoopy’s databases have all been successfully moved to the new server, einstein. The final moves were completed around 2PM.

Have a look at DROOPER it also seems to be acting up

There’s some kind of time warp going on.
The times listed on justin’s notice from Dreamhost is in the future!
Apparently Dreamhost’s clock is an hour off, like it’s on MST rather than PST. Could this be part of the current problems? Or has the clock for postings at dreamhoststatus.com always been an hour in the future?
For the record, the actual time this message is being sent is 9:52 am PST.

I’m a happy customer.
I’m actually giggling at these server names that were previously unknown to me.
I will stay with a host that uses “Schweppes” and “Sizzle” as server names.
I’ve had downtime before, on my own hosting, like when my cats chewed through the power cable for the modem… so at least someone else is fixing my problems this time instead of me trying to restrain myself from feline murder.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:00 am
Schweppes has been having issues as well.

I am happy. No downtime aside the power outage, and besides, I’m quite satisfied with what I pay for.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:02 am
ERM add BARKLEY to the list of servers… it won’t even upload a 24MB file to the database right now or all morning since I have been trying for about 6 hours. I hope you find the problem and fix it soon. I am a new customer and I am still loving the service, but just wanted to make you aware.

I’m pretty happy! My uptime tracker was listing over 70 days uptime before this maintenance. My MySQL sites are running a little slow, but my main site hasn’t had any problems yet.
And as an addition, even with all this, the uptime tracker still says I have 99.8% uptime. I consider that pretty darn good, myself.

DingDong is also having mysql issues. Very annoying

How am I supposed to use the web panel to notify you that my site is down if the web panel is down??!? My comment is unrelated to this post, but I don’t see a post up yet about whatever outage I’m experiencing.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Mento is having these problems as well. Waiting for this to come back up.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:26 am
even your main site is down. Something bigger is going on
February 26th, 2007 at 11:27 am
Dynomutt just went down…
February 26th, 2007 at 11:27 am
’sizzle’ seems to be having troubles too.
(good luck with your firefighting)
February 26th, 2007 at 11:27 am
Tib also sad… ;(
February 26th, 2007 at 11:30 am
juniormint is down too.
You guys are KILLING ME!
February 26th, 2007 at 11:30 am
It’s always something. Very tiresome.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:31 am
I’m not having any issues accessing the webpanel. But the MySQL seems to be more widespread.

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)

…and lionel.
I think it’s safe to say that a lot of the mysql servers are having issues.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:34 am
i just became a DH client 2 weeks ago but already seriously thinking about moving again…
my site has been slow due to errors which they don’t know or don’t want to share, since friday…
February 26th, 2007 at 11:35 am
‘dino’ mysql server having response issues as well.
All in all I have not total seen any of my websites go down. They just respond slow for a few minutes then act fine for a few minutes — back and forth for a couple days now. The longest I noticed no response from one of my sql servers is about 30 minutes.
Though any of my pages that doesn’t make a request to the sql server loads up quick, like normal.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:36 am
My sites are going up and down all over the show, I never knew I bought a yo-yo.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:36 am
Add “Roary” to the ever-growing list, I suppose. =(
February 26th, 2007 at 11:36 am
My web site (which uses MySQL) is working but it is incredibly slow.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:36 am
pez has also been having major issues with MySQL errors and downtime - at the most inconvenient times!
February 26th, 2007 at 11:36 am
BUCK is completely out as well, and has been since Sunday morning PST.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:37 am
New customer and also new phpbb2 site with urdu language version.
WebSite is going up and down last 2 or so days.
Phpbb2 Admin Panel was perfectly working few days ago. Now time to time require refresh.
Phpbb2 Auth Mangement use to work now completely down, even after refresh.
Some one mentioned that you have updated to PHP5. Could that be a cause.
Hope we all can get full service soon.
Good luck.

mcgruff and punch are up and down all day, as well as spacey mail..
February 26th, 2007 at 11:37 am
Add toto to the list… ohh the humanity.
** I can just about hear the DH battlestation sirens from here **
February 26th, 2007 at 11:37 am
Lira is down
February 26th, 2007 at 11:37 am
mcgruff and punch are up and down all day, as well as spacey mail.. all down again at the moment.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:38 am
Anyone have any experience with superb.net hosting? They offer 99.9% server uptime and 100% network uptime for only a little more than DH. I’m looking at switching.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:39 am
I have problems with the db but I am using growltiger server…
February 26th, 2007 at 11:39 am
Yeah, DROOPER server here too. But I got a ticket back that they are looking at it, so I think it’s already been added to the list along with SNOOPY.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:44 am
Figaro is sucking anus at the moment too
February 26th, 2007 at 11:45 am
Aslan is also very slow and/or unresponsive at times. Come on, this have to stop…
February 26th, 2007 at 11:48 am
I do not see any happy customers post today. Where are all the guys that were happy with Dreamhost uptime?
February 26th, 2007 at 11:51 am
@lefteris:I do not see any happy customers post today. Where are all the guys that were happy with Dreamhost uptime?
I’m not upset with them, if that’s what you’re asking. They’re having some issues and working to get it sorted out. These are humans, not superhumans. Give ‘em a chance, they’ll fix it.
February 26th, 2007 at 11:54 am
Looks like Ladybird and Beethoven aren’t much happier, either. (Though Ladybird is happier now than it was 20 minutes ago when it was for all appearances lifeless.)
February 26th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Yes, all my websites are down that use sql

They all use the Snoopy server. But i still love dreamhost!!! Great response times, and great service. Cheers guys!

Here ya go. You can’t count me as a “happy customer”. That, or course, does not mean that I am happy that things are borked at the moment, but they will get it fixed. I’ve been with DH since 1998, and no one likes *any* downtime, but the *total* percentage of downtime I have experience in that time is insignificant. A few problems now and then, but overall it’s good.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
only one of my sites are down, and unfortunatly it is our most important. Did come back for about 20min this afternoon, but is gone again. First major downtime i have had in the two years here..
not too bad, but I will be a much happier person after it comes back.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Well.. lost the Cpanel, and Dreamhost’s home page now, looks like they are down as well…
February 26th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
My database is on Aslan and it is very very slow too!
February 26th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
Yeah, seriously. I’m not excited that I’ve been having issues, but for the most part they’ve been really contained even throughout this. I think they’ve been doing a good job. Personally, it’s the first remotely “major” problem I’ve ever had with them.
So I’m happy regardless. Good job and I’m glad something is being done about it.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
zero is in this issues too
