Failing over Milk
Posted (May 10th, 2008 at 8:06 am PST) by SandonThe web-server ‘Milk’ is being failed-over due to bad hardware causing it to crash a couple minutes after it boots. It is being moved over to new hardware and the move should be completed within 30 minutes. This should only effect people with ‘milk’ as their webserver. You can find out if milk is your server by clicking “account status” in the panel and it would be listed as “Your web server”
Edit: Turns out this was a bad site on the server causing it to crash in strange ways. This site has been disabled and your sites should be back online!

@ dsfds -
You might find that submitting a support request and informing them of your problem with the strider server would be more productive than blathering like an idiot about in a comment on a status blog post informing a particular group of users about a problem that affects *them*.
But hey, blog comments are the toilet wall of the internet anyway so, Rock On! [grin)
Well, am on milk and I just noticed it being down.
It’s already over 2 hours now. Hope they get it fixed soon.
I’m on Cheeto and my site is down as well.
This website is still down. I get the following error message. I think the web server instance needs restarting.

I’m having the exact same issue, and I’m also using a drupal site. It would seem that they changed the php memory limit to 8MB without bothering to tell anyone or check any of the hosted sites were using more than this ridiculous amount.
To follow up, the normal memory_limit for php (on their servers) is 90 MB so I’m told. They have now fixed this problem for me, and hopefully for everyone else as well.
I’ve contacted support again because I cannot enter any of my sites hosted on milk. Also FTP is not working.
Well I’m on Pico and I havent had any functioning quicktime server for a couple of days no and no replies to my support
ticket at all…
of course this all happens precisely the moment you actually need it to work..
nightmarehost does it again!
Its May 13 and my Milk Server is down. Please help
Yep, it appears to be down AGAIN. Open a support case. The more open cases they get against it, the more attention you bring to it.
Another day, another 2 or 3 downtimes. I’ve been monitoring my site on milk since a bit before 1600 (EST) and as of right now, we’re at 67% uptime. Impressive.
Well, that’s all well, but consider this: load average: 56.35, 48.40, 44.60
It’s on strider. And you are doing nothing about it. It’s been like that for the entire day, and now the site is virtually unusable.
