Re: Very disappointed in Viviotech
Yeah they are really great guys! And $10 for a full month of manage support is a STEAL. :) Ive used it on a month by month basis a couple times when Ive needed to.

Re: Very disappointed in Viviotech
That's exactly how I'd expect Jordan and crew to respond and help you out - great bunch there! Speaking as a guy who has been learning to take it down a notchI've had similar knee jerk reactions to support situations in general when I feel I'm being handled or ignored (never felt that way at Viviobut many times in many places).so I get it.

Ok so now I'm ok with Viviotech again.They're a fine company and sensitive to customers hot buttons.

My issue is now resolved, and my anger has gone away. And I'm impressed that no one at Viviotech made any attempt to wiggle their way away from me and onto something else (the standard tactic when you call plenty of other companies) - they stuck with the problem until it was resolved. So i'm having a bit of a roller coaster of a day. Began high in positive energy, went downhill when I coudln't get my first account up and going, then back up again when they dealt with me so well.

Very disappointed in Viviotech
So I signed up with Viviotech - got a VPS. Started setting up my first hosting space after reading the documentation - had a question about why I was getting an error message that didnt seem to be covered by the documentation anywhere. Rang Viviotech. Got a jerk that told me that since I didn't have managed support, he wouldn't answer my question, and nor would he tell me where in the documentation I could find out about the error message. That guy should be sacked. I understand about paying for support, and I understand they dont provide 24/7 support for nothing, but I would have thought a new customer might have been able to at least get a little bit of handholding at first. I would have thought I'd have been able to get a LITTLE bit of help setting up my first site so I understand their concepts.

Jordan, Thanks for chiming in. I'll pass along the above to my colleague. If either of us Twitter'd (or chirped or whatever the term is) we'd have known the score :-). Do want to mention for your own info that I was logged into my VPS and saw it go down within a couple of minutes of the shutdown. Called and got the busy signal.

Re: Viviotech?
Apologies. I just clarified this with one of our engineers. In the process of identifying the issue our engineers performed packet dumps at various locations within our network. In one of the packet dumps 65% of the packets that were captured were ARP requests. So, whether what our engineer said as unclear, or I simply misunderstood him; either way there was a miscommunication, and I sincerely apologize for that. I did confirm again that the target was a Chase-owned IP address, but figuring out the details of what was being attacked wasn't our focus. We simply wanted to stop it.

Hmm, I can't explain that. Our phones did not go down. We were taking calls the whole time and spoke with a lot of folks about what was happening. Maybe you got caught between a failover point or something unusual like that? I can't say. Either way, thanks for your understanding about the situation. We really appreciate it!

I think they had some issues. Several of my sites went down, also I think their support number is tied to their network so if the network goes down so do their phones This used to be true but thankfully it's no longer the case. Vivio's VOIP system now has backup POTS lines that are used if the VOIP trunk ever becomes inaccessible. If the POTS lines are all busy, you get a busy signal - which is what happened today. I was on the phone with Vivio. The claim there was or is some sort of DDOS against one or more of the sites hosted there. A 0-day (previously unknown) exploit was used against the Kloxo control panel to upload malicious php files to the kloxo default site. Those files were then hit remotely and caused the exploited servers to send massive amounts of ARP requests off to an IP belonging to Chase bank.

SOT: Eclipse RDS to VivioTech stuck at Contacting Server
I am finally moving from Homesite to Eclipse. I installed Eclipse/CFEclipse/AdobeCF8Extension (with RDS) on both my Windows and Mac machines. Everything seems to work, except that when I try to RDS connect to my VivioTech server, it only displays the Connecting Server... icon, and never shows the server's file/directory tree. Any suggestions on where I should check to fix it?

Re: SOT: Eclipse RDS to VivioTech stuck at Contacting Server
Ah sorry, misread. RDS (not RDP) communicates via port 80, so that's not likely the issue.

Re: AW: Viviotech
I've used a viviotech VPS for some time now, actually I have a couple of them over there. Whenever I have a problem, they are quick to respond, and the customer service vs other (larger) companies is night and day. I highly recommend them to everybody I know who is looking for a CF Host. Plus they support railo and openBD. You can get a VPS for 20 bucks a month - why would you ever consider shared hosting again. Rob, we from Railo have a bigger project running at VivioTech and Jordan Michaels has done a terrific job for us in setting up everything we needed. So I can only tell from our experience with their support for dedicated servers. We were and are VERY pleased so far. The team is very responsive and solved all of our problems we had...

Re: Viviotech
I'm a Vivio customer - I'll leave it up to you to decide if that makes me biased or not. I've had a good experience with them. The tech support know what they are doing and people often get more help than one would expect on an unmanaged server. Of course you can pay for a managed server too.

Has anyone tried their pager? I don't have the number myself. The company I'm doing contract work is very upset right now. They don't care for ColdFusion to begin with but I twisted their arm and they barely consented to my using it and setting up a server with Viviotech. For over a week I've had other problems (one CFC caching bug in BlueDragon 7 and one cfthread bug in BD 7.0.1) that had them pretty upset already. The other bugs were not caused by Viviotech and they did help quite a bit so they are not to blame for that, just that one thing after another after another has not helped me in my fight for CFML. -Aaron On Jan 4, 2008 12:35 PM, toby dagenhart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've tried every number I have.

It has been quite some time, I realize that. The generators may have ran for a while but the outage could have outlasted them.

Re: viviotech vps, non-admin linux newbie, rambling questions
I'll chime in to give a couple of cents worth I've got a root access VPS package, 512 RAM and BD. I've been using this package since september 30th 2005. There have been few glitches in that time. As James mentions, you can do most things in the web admin panel. So you don't really need much knowledge of Linux. The forums are usually a good place to get some support and Jordan is top notch. You don't have to be a linux guru, but it's nice because if you want to 'customize' some aspects of your VPS (at some point), you have that freedom. That's 2 cents worth.

I know there is a managed solution but wondering if I could toy with an unmanaged one and set it up slowly myself. Would like to hear from anyone but especially people who were in the same boat. Out of the box, the Viviotech VPSs are pretty easy to manage, if you are happy with the default setup... I'm more of al inux person so I actually configured and installed my own mail server (qmail) instead of using the default (postfix)... but there's really no need for that. Is a basic package with 256mb enough for Bluedragon and mysql4/5 on a not too busy niche commerce site? I thought much more memory would be needed. I run www.bobguiney.com on a VPS.. it's not a particularly active web site... it's running BlueDragon and currently is only using 75MB of 256MB physical memory, though the swap file is using 400MB of 512MB I've never had a problem with response time on it though. Find much difference between BD and cfmx on linux? (I know the tag differences.) For basic CFML functionality, bluedragon is a pretty good substitute. I try to make sure all my open source software runs on Bluedragon, and don't usually have much trouble at all. CFMBB, imageCFC, CFOpenChat, BlogCFM, etc... Are there problems monitoring BD in case it pegs the cpu? I know you can't use cfmx monitors. What do people do? (I also don't want to be tied to a computer 24hrs a day.) Big issue, small issue? I don't use any monitors on the VPS and I don't think I've ever had a problem with Bluedragon crashing. Current uptime is 131 days. What sort of monitoring does viviotech do for you themselves? On the unmanaged VPS, I'm not sure they do any monitoring, but you'd have to ask them to be sure. Is it a full-time job for you now monitoring the site yourself and jumping in to fix things all the time? I suppose that depends on your web site. I don't monitor bobguiney.com, I've made very few changes to it over the years, and it quite happily runs itself. The only thing I've really done to it in the last two years is post his blog entries for him. How difficult was it to set up such an environment there with a couple extra very minor domains, ftp, email and such? CP+ makes this all relatively easy. Do you install phpadmin to handle mysql, or something else? I'm not really a command-line guy. You can do that.. or get a GUI to run on your desktop and just grant privileges (through CP+) allowing you to access MySQL remotely. What were the biggest hurdles you faced going it alone? Changing the initial setup from Postfix to Qmail... I'm pretty good with qmail but figuring out how to get CP+ to itnegrate with qmail was a little difficult.. lots of different settings. You should be fine with postfix though. Rick -- CFMBB - Coldfusion Message Boards, Version 1.21 Now Available! http://www.cfmbb.org ~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 Flex 2.
