height1percent.com not responding?

[jcabrer]

Is anyone else having problems accessing the height1percent pages?
I've been trying since last week with no luck.

[Dean Charlier]

Yeah. And ajaxscaffold.com too.

Unfortunately it probably has something to do with Richard not being on
the web. I hope he didn't loose something. It looks like his site
maps to textdrive, so I assume theres a hosting issue.

I dropped Richard a email in case he sees that first.

Does anyone have or know of a mirror of the scaffolding documentation?
I'm just starting some to try and customize, and am discovering it's a
little too complicated to handle without docs.

[TonyD...@gmail.com]

I have been unable to access both ajaxscaffold and high1percent for
atleast a week. I hope nothing was lost or badly damaged, perhaps we
can work on getting a mirror setup to prevent this sort of loss.

JFI, You can generate your own ajaxscaffolding doc using Rdoc in Rails.
Or by visiting this site which seems to post the docs for almost all
the gems out there: http://gemjack.com/

Hope that helps!

It has gone down quite a bit over the last week, I believe a cron
process is to blame and I just submitted a ticket to Textdrive to look
into this issue.

Currently its a very easy thing for me to fix I just have to go into
the server and restart Lighttpd, its just a matter of finding out why
its not running to begin with.

Everything is backed up on SVN so I have 1 copy on the server, 1 copy
in SVN, 1 copy on my desktop, and 1 copy on my powerbook :)

Good news is that I get internet at my apartment tomorrow morning so we
shouldn't have any extended outages that I won't know about. thanks

Thanks to Eric for dropping me a line with what turns out to be my
problem:

Textdrive is killing my server for taking up too much CPU. See kids
this is why you should farm out your sysadmin work if at all possible
:) (I tried and failed, if anyone wants to do it for cheap let me
know).

I'll have to figure out whether I can a) optimize the 5 servers I have
running or b) afford a bigger account or c) find a new hosting
provider. Suggestions welcome.

Another update here... I redid my lighty config to match the tutorial
on the TextDrive site and everything seemed copacetic but then I awaken
today to find that 3 of my 4 site were killed this morning at 8 am MST.

This was due to their "Using 30 seconds of CPU time over 90 seconds of
real time". I find this very hard to believe considering a) there
really wasn't any traffic on those sites (according to access logs) at
that time (lindsaydocherty.com, ajaxscaffold.com, height1percent.com)
and b) wouldn't it mean if all three used 30 seconds of CPU time that
for that entire 90 second window my applications were using all the CPU
power on the box (well i think its a quad box, but still).

I've sent a query to TextDrive about this, but I am already planning on
a move... perhaps to Planet Argon.

[rrwhite]

Well I bit the bullet and am putting the finishing touches on the new
server. I'm moving all my sites/apps from TxD to a VPS box. I'll have
more details in a blog post later on today.
