Server daedalus getting new hardware
The server ‘daedalus’ had a hardware failure, so we’re moving it over to new hardware. This process should take about 30 minutes, and we will update this post when it is completed.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Update: 3:03PM pacific: We’ve successfully switch it over to the new hardware. Services should be coming up steadily. We will post another update again when everything is complete.
Update: 3:13pm pacific: The hardware move process has been completed. If you have any issues with daedalus, please contact support!

Why are hardware failures that bring my sites down considered low severity??
September 17th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
Why is my site not loading (AGAIN) when it’s not even on Daedalus?
September 17th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
Because the issue is planned and not widely distributed (one server) and will be resolved in 30 minutes.

My site on krusty is being really, REALLY slow. I doubt this is related, but do you know what’s going on?
September 17th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
My sites are down too and I am on skittle.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
My site is not loading too even though its not on Daedlus
September 17th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
I’m down as well, sites on poseidon.
Sure am glad that I switched hosts for this.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
our organization’s dreamhost site has lost access to mySQL, our server is on another server, though.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
I also have a problem with ftp on tartarus.dreamhost.com. Ping stats:
September 17th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
selma is down too…
September 17th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Boo hardware failures D:
September 17th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Same here all sites are down and not even on the same server. Wonder how much traffic is being lost on a daily basis? Every time I seem to be updating a site the server is down or goes down.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Mine is the same with Cannot access MYSQL
September 17th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
Mine too - chalmers is the server.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
My site dun load.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
formosa is down too
September 17th, 2007 at 2:37 pm
doesn’t seem to be a ‘Single Server Issue’ to me
September 17th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
my sites on tejava, down too….
September 17th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Hello,
the webserver hermes is the same, SQL, FTP and website down….
September 17th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
I’ve been reporting periodic outages of my sites to DreamHost support — sometimes the sites are very slow, sometimes WordPress can’t connect to MySQL. I’ve been told this is related to the ongoing Cisco router issues from last month.
I’m guessing the servers are fine, but the network is a mess. Regardless, this is something that shouldn’t take weeks to fix.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
mine is gromit and its down
September 17th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
My sites are on smither and they are all slow. Whats going on?
September 17th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Hmmm… don’t mean to join in Dreamhost bashing or anything, but my sites are fluctuating between not working and no access to MySQL. It does seem as though this is more than just a single server problem, I’m on gobstopper.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:41 pm
Same problem on Pan…
September 17th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
server Hades down o.0
September 17th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
babyruth sites down or 500 internal server error
September 17th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
IMAP is down for ttgeo.com (janky?)
September 17th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Sites on slimy down too. WTF people.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
Seems “Federal” has shit the bed again, too. I’m getting tired of my inbox filling up with server error messages. 4 months to go until my 2 year prepaid plan is up and you can bet I am NOT renewing it! >:-(~
September 17th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Just figured I’d mention I’m on Hephaestus, and, as mention, it is down, too.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
doheny is down too.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:43 pm
Raiden is down also.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
Holt is down too, all their servers seem to be down
September 17th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
My sites are on icarus yet I can’t access them right now…
September 17th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
Why is it that whenever ANY server is having an issue, my sites are down as well?
Can you please turn back on the internets??
September 17th, 2007 at 2:46 pm
Lisa and Tammany (my web and mySQL servers, respectively) also are down. And I was in the middle of a big update! Dammit!
September 17th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
Pez has been up and down all afternoon too…
September 17th, 2007 at 2:47 pm
Lovejoy is down.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Why is it that whenever there is an outage at Dreamhost, this status page is always up? Can I please be on this server instead?
September 17th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Lovejoy is back up! (twice in the last hour)
September 17th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
aries is down too
September 17th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Hephaestus is back up, as well. At least, for now.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
My website is having SQL issues - which is great considering I run the updates on Wordpress.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Nevermind, its back.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
Awesome, Twisler was down too. That’s really bad for my business to be down more than 30 seconds… What’s going on? Someone unplug something?
September 17th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
Well, this is really something. I’m on lenny and all 20 of my sites are down. Not slow loading. Not loading at all.
Overall, I’ve been happy here and want to keep promoting you and stick around. But this seems serious and no one is standing up and telling us what is going on.
It’s when there is a problem that support is tested and so far, I’m not too happy with it.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Two of my sites are going down…been like this quite a while. (2 hours +)
September 17th, 2007 at 2:56 pm
seriously,
“Because the issue is planned and not widely distributed (one server) and will be resolved in 30 minutes.”
that’s why this is low priority? the plan was to take down just daedalus? it’s low priority when the rest of us are affected as well?
dreamhost, this is unacceptable. it seems to take us all down anytime you do what’s supposed to be a solitary repair or upgrade. how about some priority, or better yet a warning. in advance. way in advance.
we depend on you for our businesses, our sustenance.
personally, I’m done giving you yours - where’s the reciprocity?
September 17th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
Federal seems to be back up…for now.
Like my granddaddy always said “You pay for what you get.” Guess I didn’t pay enough to these people. (?)
September 17th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
I’m back online. Thanks.
September 17th, 2007 at 2:58 pm
ikari is down, again.
We’ve been with DH about 3 years and things chug along fine - then wham! meltdown happens about 2x year - and goes on and on for days before smoothing out.
(no web site, just use FTP as we are group of telecommuting graphics pool - and down time hurts bad! it always comes during major deadline don’t ‘cha know)
September 17th, 2007 at 3:02 pm
Wordpress shows an error, please I want a solution
September 17th, 2007 at 3:11 pm
@dhs:
The daedalus issue and the network issues are completely unrelated. I do apologize for the network problems, but the daedalus failover is a fairly minor issue, and is not likely affecting you. We do realize that for those who are *on* daedalus, the issue isn’t minor, but unless you are on daedalus, this is not affecting you.
September 17th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
My sites (which are on daedalus) are back up, but I do have a question about timing of the planned hardware change? Why not do this late evening/early morning instead of middle of the day?
September 17th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
it actually wasn’t a planned hardware change. the machine daedalus was on failed and it had to be switched over to new hardware.
otherwise, yes, we would definitely do this late in the evenings
September 17th, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Ah, I read a post form “aaron” saying the daedalus issue was planned and not widely distributed - for some reason I thought that was an official response.
September 17th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
My sites were on Deadalus! Thanks for bringing them up quickly! Highly appreciated!
September 17th, 2007 at 10:07 pm
Good that it is back!

Fourth time since 9/17 that I’ve had an inability to get into my site. I just uploaded sometehing into my plugin folder and now Dreamhost AND my blog are completely down just rotating and not loading. I can’t even get to the place to leave an “I’ve got a problem” message.
I am sooooo sad!
December 25th, 2007 at 6:59 am
good thanks
February 29th, 2008 at 4:25 am
Keep up the good work!
Greetings.
