Riffraff mysql server having issues (resolved)

The riffraff mysql server stopped responding suddenly, a tech is on the way to the data center to check what happened to it. Should the hardware have problems, we will move the databases to new hardware. Check back for updates.

– UPDATE –

It is rebooted and back up and running fine. We will continue to monitor it for any further issues.

    If it’s fixed then why can’t I log into my FTP site? It worked this morning.

    Why would a mySQL server have anything to do with your FTP not working?

    Frank Says:

    David,

    You should place a ticket instead of posting in the status blog. They will respond to the and let you know if it was a connection problem with your end or the ftp server having a problem.

    Gene Steinberg Says:

    Frank: Isn’t that strange. Folks go into these status blogs and report problems having little or nothing to do with the issues in the blog, and wonder why they’re not getting help.

    Strange.

    Peace,
    Gene

    Sounds like Debian is a bit of a disaster. Servers shouldn’t need to be rebooted to function correctly.

    Adnan Says:

    My mysql is down, been down for the past 2 1/2 hours and I haven’t gotten any word back from dreamhost.

    Which basically means, my site is down.

    Anybody else having this outage?

  12. 12
    why Says:

    Adnan - Sure looks like it’s up now.

  13. 13
    Adnan Says:

    Its’ not why.

    If you see a flag of country ‘unknown’ it means that its down.

    Try accessing my blog or polls.

    why Says:

    You have to admit that with that much advertising it’s hard for someone unfamiliar with it to tell.

    Ping shows that mysql.linkspub.com is up, but that doesn’t mean anything about mysql. I assume you’ve tried to connect to the server using phpmyadmin? I am showing that phpmyadmin is responding - go to http://mysql.linkspub.com and you will be asked for a username and password to connect to the DB. My assumption is that, based on what your sites are doing, that attempts to login may fail - BUT you may learn something more to send to support. You may also try asking others if they are on the same mysql server and experiencing issues (you can find the server name of your sql server from the “account status” listing on the control panel.

    You may also be able to get more support in the discussion forums at http://discussion.dreamhost.com There tends to be a lot of reasonably bright people that might be able to help diagnose.

    Good luck!

    Adnan Says:

    Actually I don’t connect to my databases over plain http without filtering out the ip, but i don’t want to take the trouble right now.

    I’m pretty sure they are down and already sent the error messages I got to support and am just waiting, waiting, waiting.

    This is like the 3rd or 4th downtime for my site past month.

    hmmmmmmmmm

  16. 16
    Adnan Says:

    This is wacky,

    I can connect to my database from the mysql query browser but not from my site.

    I’ve got 2 different databases, with 2 seperate users and both are giving me a database error. I haven’t made any changes either.

  17. 17
    brasscrest Says:

    Mine were down too, sounds like about the same length of time as yours. Back up now. Must have been a whole cluster, because I have databases on four different servers and they were all down.

  18. 18
    Adnan Says:

    Yup, started working just now.

    Good to hear! I feel for anyone who’s down. Down sucks.

    Why not? Says:

    Submit a support ticket ladies and gents. After all, its the best way to have your problem looked into. Also try the discussion forum. Might find an answer there.

    Katie Says:

    You know, I love DreamHost, but my mySQL has been acting up the last two days. All my queries (though they are absolutely correct in every aspect) have been sending back errors and it’s really pissing me off. My website runs purely off of databases so this is a big problem.

    Scruffy Says:

    As long as we don’t have a Magenta mysql server go down, we will be ok.

    zylox Says:

    @Joe: It’s not “best hosts”, it’s “top hosts”. Top hosts being the hosts with the most registered domains, not rated by quality.

    Kate Says:

    There are some real issues in the mySQL server… I can’t get anything to work.

    Submit a ticket.

    mmmm Says:

    my sites don’t seem to have issues, guess i’m lucky (besides the outages a few weeks ago…)

    i joined DH a week before the power outage, but besides that it’s been smooth sailing.

    thx dreamhost!

    Nikolai - it looks like your site is up now. I haven’t seen so many pop ups since I last played Whack-a-mole. Hope you’re getting rich!!!

    MySQL has been down for almost 24 hours on my site…

  42. 42
    why Says:

    knight - It looks good now.

    Looks like it’s recovered Andrew.

    Either they’ve healed or DH has fixed it.

    Gene Steinberg Says:

    Andrew: Your site is running slow as of now, taking 9.5 seconds, according to your WordPress info in the source.

    You running a lot of plug-ins?

    Christ, you people don’t have anything better to do than complain about DH? Honestly, when you start complaining because nothing is down, you just need to step away from the computer.
