Re: [AOLSERVER] aolserver.com website unavailable

2008-09-30 Thread SUBSCRIBE AOLSERVER Bjoern Kiesbye


 Hi,



I could offer a server currently running a mirror for open source projects 
(www.veidrodis.com  sponsored by one of my customers) which isn't used very 
frequently (about 300 GB traffic per month),  and 2 other live sites which will 
move to a different server anyway. The free resources (incl. a second ip) could 
be used to host aolserver.com .



The mirror needs aolserver (4.5 with tcl8.4) incl. most common modules, 
postgres 7.4  to run  an older  openacs  version (5.2), and daemontools. This 
software is installed already  and can be used.
 

Well there's a rub in it, i'm pretty busy and don't have the time to 
administrate another live system, so incase there is an interest in using the 
server, I would give you  root access, and the administration of aolserver.com 
(inst. of software, keepalive etc.)  will be up to you (or the person you name 
for this job ). So far that only the mirror is going to stay on that server 
there is no security issue from my side.



Server details:

Unlimited traffic,

100 MBit Network connection (fully switched)   





 2 GB RAM  (about 0.8 GB are used)





 160 GB RAID 0   (i would need about 100 GB for the mirror incl. what will be 
needed in the future)

CPU  : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 148 , 2.2 GHz , 1 MB Cache

OpenSUSE
 

The host has a  ISO 27001 certificate. They have 2 data centers in central 
europ (connected to different carriers), where 
the second  is the fall back for the first, in tests they always have the 
higest availability of all tested hosts.

I'm not sure if this is of any help to you, but especialy the new docs are in 
some cases extremly slow , which I hope is going to change.
I case you are going to use the server, it'll be great if you put a sponsored 
by (or a like) link  to the mirror.

P.S.: I'm Bjoern Kiesbye, i worked on the nsjabber module some years ago, maybe 
some one remembers me. Currently I use aolserver  just to run my customers 
sites.

Turns out, the aolserver.{com,net,org} DNS was set up as A records to

66.35.250.210 instead of CNAME's to vhost.sourceforge.net - which

recently changed to 216.34.181.97 with the SourceForge move to Chicago.



I've put in the necessary request to get the DNS updated at AOL (who

still manages the DNS for the domains).



No idea how long it'll take for them to act on the request.  You can

access the site at http://aolserver.sourceforge.net/ for now, though.

2008-09-22 Thread Bernhard van Woerden
I can second Rusty's offer - perhaps as a mirror
I've got a box here in the UK asw20.qcode.co.uk that I can offer for hosting
as long as the bandwidth requirements are reasonable.  Any idea of monthly
usage ?It's running on FreeBSD 4.11
What are the software requirements for aolserver.com ?

2008/9/20 Rusty Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 I do AOLServer hosting, sort of.  That is, I do AOLServer development and
 there aren't many people who do hosting, so I host all my customers myself.
  I'd be happy to donate space and bandwidth.

 I'm sure that's likely to be the explanation, but when you fail so
 majorly, there's only one responsible course of action: roll back.

 If SourceForge is going to be run willy-nilly by amateur sysadmins, then
 there's really no plausible reason to continue to use their service
 over, say, any arbitrary free project hosting service (Launchpad
 Savannah, etc.).

 To that end, I've registered the AOLserver project over at Launchpad
 (it's my favorite of them all) --

http://launchpad.net/aolserver

 Project web hosting may end up going to Slicehost--so that AOLserver.com
 can be run on an actual AOLserver instance.  :-)  However, I'm assuming
 there are companies in the community who sell AOLserver hosting - would
 any be interested in donating hosting for aolserver.com?  Lets
 seriously have this conversation and make a decision ... I think keeping
 things at SourceForge is coming to an end.

The AOLserver.com website is having some database connectivity problems.
 I have opened a support ticket at SourceForge, but their response has
been underwhelming.  I am seriously questioning why I continue to pay
the $39/year subscriber fee for this priority support.

If things continue to get worse at SourceForge, how do folks feel about
moving the project hosting elsewhere?  Personally, I really like
Launchpad.  What is everyone's thought on it, vs. other suggestions?
