    Question No Hexus Forums?

    What happened last night? Forum disappeared - hope it was maintenance, or even server failure, and not DoS or someone trialling out Sopa blocking!

    Re: No Hexus Forums?

    At about 1.30am the service handling forum requests started crashing its child processes every time a request came in. Restarted the service and now it's fine.

    Never happened before, but I'll see what I can find out.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I noticed it at circa 0145 and it was still down at 0345 when I went to bed. Gotta love work deadlines.

    This sort of thing shouldn't happen, but whoever wrote the service obviously realised that it could, as there's a mechanism built in for dealing with it. Curiously, it's disabled by default, I guess in case your use-case involves your worker processes crashing continuously...

    I've configured it now. Seeing as this error happened once in a period of 55 days, it'll probably be a while before we know if it's done any good
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
