abrego issues
Posted (November 7th, 2008 at 10:21 pm PST) by kitchenWe are currently experiencing some hardware issues with the abrego server. We are looking into the problem right now and hope to have a resolution soon. We will post updates as things progress.
Update 10:22PM PST: It appears as though the raid controller decided it didn’t like its raid anymore, and dropped it on the floor. Fortunately, everyone on this server was just recently moved to it, so we are moving everyone back to their old machines right now.
Update 1:32AM PST: sites have been restored back to their original locations and should be back up and running now. If you are still having problems, please contact support.
Thank you very much for your patience.

happy birthday, your site is down again.

Guys - seriously? This has been happening way too frequently. We really rely on our website, and this just…it’s not good.

C’mon. Last month I got moved to a new machine and two days later it imploded and I got moved back, losing two days worth of files. Now I get moved to a new machine and it lasts almost a week. Will I lose a week’s worth this time?
November 8th, 2008 at 1:24 am
down even for me!

Very nice!!! My sites are down AGAIN. I really was wondering how much time they will work, and it’s only 1 week after I was moved to abrego. This is the second time these stupid things happen. A couple of weeks ago I was moved from dione to kray, after a week I was moved back to dione loosing all my files during that week. A week ago I was moved AGAIN from dione, this time to abrego, and surprise, after a week, my sites are down!!! DREAMHOST you really know how to satisfy your clients.

Dreamhost: I dreamt that I had hosting once upon a time.
November 8th, 2008 at 3:32 am

After my company’s site went down & Dreamhost couldn’t help fix it, I switched to http://www.Bluehost.com. Have had no issues there, and the pricing is about the same. Plus, they get right back to you via their U.S. chat-based support.
I still have two sites on Dreamhost, but looks like I’ll be transferring those too.
November 8th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Thanks Rob, wish I’d heard of BlueHost before signing up with NightmareHost a month ago. My site has been down now for hours.. again.
November 8th, 2008 at 8:47 am
still down
November 8th, 2008 at 9:38 am
the bad_httpd_conf fix on the wiki doesn’t seem to work.
November 8th, 2008 at 10:10 am
My sites are still down.

November 8th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Anyone heard anything via email about the fix yet? All my sites are still down as well.
November 8th, 2008 at 10:29 am
60+ sites are down this morning, inbox full of more customer complaints wondering why I can’t keep the sites up. The support wiki suggestions for the “bad_httpd_conf” error are useless. I’m currently evaluating the following alternatives:
site5.com
1&1
bluehost
baremetal
Hope this helps..
November 8th, 2008 at 10:50 am
I have a ticket submitted 8 hours ago and till now I didn’t get any answer. I also checked other dreamhost alternatives and stopped on hostgator and bluehost. But I need something with ffmpeg enabled and it seems only dreamhost and a couple of other providers unknown to me are offering ffmpeg for shared accounts. I’ve looked up site5.com (thanks Greg for your sugestion) and they say that ffmpeg can be enabled upon request. Does anyone else know some other reliable hosting provider that has ffmpeg enabled for shared accounts?

Well… i’m not on Abrego, but barker, and my site is down as well… I guess i’ll benefit from the 97 day satisfaction warranty…
November 8th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Still down all sites - I´m so disappointed….cannot send an e-mail to the support…hell…thats killing my business…..
November 8th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Very displeased with DH. Server changed 4 times in 2 months. Bad_httpd_conf error twice in two months.
Supposedly I now have “unlimited bandwidth and space” as an apology, but what good is that when server uptime is so friggin’ unreliable?
Anybody else keep having their server switched?
November 8th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Hope somebody is working on it……too much hours now for professionals..my phone is ringing all 2 minutes and i have to talk to my screaming clients like a prayer…still I get my e-mails back from the support.

November 8th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I’m a reluctant webmaster with one site. How tough is it to WS-FTP my site to a new domain host service? Thanks!
November 8th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
last post here 10:21…hell….tell us what happens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 8th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
My sites are working now, I’ve received an answer from support, so probably they are working on it. The problem now is that all the files that were changed or added this week are now lost.
November 8th, 2008 at 2:12 pm

November 8th, 2008 at 2:26 pm

November 8th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Yes I understand. I thought something happend to my own account. But it looks like general problem. I guess there’s problem in bonanno server too?:( Because my hosting is in bonanno server.And it doesnt work. Where were they keeping your site in bonanno or abrego server?

November 8th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

November 8th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

November 8th, 2008 at 5:38 pm

November 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
