Emergency file server upgrade
Posted (April 27th, 2007 at 12:21 am PST) by KellyThe file server which has been a little crashy lately for users in the “spacey” cluster is being swapped out right now with newer-better-faster hardware. We’re sorry for the short notice, the server was on its way down when I realized that this post never made it live upstairs! The new server is booting up right now, and we hope service to be restored in a few minutes.
Okey dokey, the new server is up and running!

My website gives a ‘connection was refused error’.
I also can’t seem to upload any files….
Err.. we’re not even on spacey and our site is down again after being offline for 2-3 hours this afternoon.
My sites are back to normal now. 
“Spacey” is just the email server for my account. I don’t understand why it affects the web-sites. Just curious…

Well, it apears that my subdomain and webmail work fine, it’s just the main domain which isn’t configured correctly. Fix Fix please!
I had more downtime this week than uptime…
Ok keep up the good work,
@Frank - if it’s the site linked in your post, it’s working fine (loads very quickly, too).
@Martin Lam - Your email server name (as listed in the Account Status widget) is also the name of the cluster in which your server resides. The announcement mentions the file server in the spacey cluster. The way that I understand it, the file server drives the disk farms for all of the web servers and email servers in the cluster.
Bass - actually its the name of the cluster where your FILESYSTEM resides.
Perfect! Finally my site turned useable!
Thanks for the upgrade. Really appreciated
Good so hopefully it won’t be laggy or crashy anymore?
all permissions are set correctly but the site does not post? (Sun 4/29/2007 9:44 AM)
[ Forbidden: You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ]
I also can’t seem to upload any files….
But some of my web-sites now only show “No input file specified.” on the page. No other things else are shown.
