[OWW-Discuss] Problems with OWW?

[Bill F]

Steve,

We were hammered today by a system spidering the OWW server out of control.
We worked with Rackspace into the evening to make sure that the server got
out from under the barrage. We ran well over twice our daily bandwidth and
database activity. This started last evening. The system was periodically
throwing database error as it started. The php errors were caused when we
added a new extension.

I'm very sorry you lost data. After this weekend, OWW will finally be
running or an up-to-date version of linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5).
We'll also have a fairly big local server (shmoo) running on a system we can
test with that has the same version of Linux as the production server. Our
current local development server (beta) has been severely challenged to keep
up with the burden we put on it.


Sincerely,

Bill Flanagan
