HD Died, OS Reload Partially Broken, Dead In The Water

May 29, 2008

I've a dedicated server at ThePlanet / Servermatrix for the past few years and for the most part the service has been okay. Uptime has been good and support used to be fairly swift.

Early wednesday morning the primary hard drive in my server started dying. Throughout the day various services kept going up and down and overall the entire server was very unstable. I didn't get much movement from ThePlanet's support team - they would reboot the server, SSH and other services would come back online, and so they would close the ticket.

Thirty minutes after the reboot the HD would switch to read-only and stuff would start dying. So they finally recommended that I replace the HD and do an OS reload. I said fine as I had a backup of all of the accounts on a 2nd hard drive.

Well it took until 6am this morning for the OS reload to finally be completed, but when it was done apache was *completely* screwed up. WHM was up and running but if you went to the server IP address in the browser you got an error.

It turns out that something really badly went wrong with the OS reload but it took them hours before they even admitted that there was something wrong that needed more action. It's now 10pm and while email and other services are up, apache is still nonexistent.

When I try to run easyapache it barely starts before it errors out with a bunch of missing dependencies. I cannot instal GD and a bunch of other items, and I keep getting error messages that SSL isn't installed either.

Please visit [url] for help with this error.!
No original working apache backup to restore!

seems the yum repo being used has bad files:
Error: Missing Dependency: zlib = 1.2.3-0 is needed by package zlib-devel
Error: Missing Dependency: libjpeg = 6b-0 is needed by package libjpeg-devel
--- -0 isn't a normal package id.

I can't even transfer my accounts off the server as that's also broken - I was going to all of the accounts off to my KnownHost VPS but I keep getting an authentication error ("sshcmdpermissiondeny") even though I'm definitely entering the correct root password.

Dark Water Networks

Feb 27, 2008

i recently got a dedi from Dark Water Networks and all i have had was problems with it. The first hour i was on it it decided to go offline after multiple access violations errors popped up. I send in a support ticket, they say its fine, but the box is still offline. I am running my own hosting company and its crucial that i have something working to be able to progress. I have had enough of their service and i ask for the box to be turned off and a refund on my money. They tell me they cannot issue me a refund. What a complete lie. Right on their main page of their site it clearly states: "Try our services for 30 days, and if you're not completely satisfied, we will refund you with no questions asked."

So where is my refund? They refuse to give it to me.... and my customers? Angry. Any more responses to my ticket? None whatso ever for the past 48 hours.

If this is how they run a business... neglecting their customers and blatently false advertising on their main page, then i truly do hope they no one else ever tries their services in the future because this is just ridiculous....

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Command Died With Status 100

Mar 30, 2015

Up till the last update Plesk was working correctly. After the latest update I can't send out mail in any form:

webmail, pop3, wordpress forms, etc.

This is the error message I get:

Command died with status 100: "/usr/bin/spamc".
Command output: Mail handler 'limit-out' said: REPLY:554:5.7.0
Your message could not be sent. The user spamfilter is not allowed to send email.

When I reverted back to the last snapshot before the update everything works fine again. But the automated update bot messes it all up again when it downloads the newer version.

Anyone Else Get A E7200 Special From TheNYNOC? Hows It Working For You? Mine Died...

Aug 18, 2008

Let me start off by saying I'm not here to trash TheNYNOC or anything of the sort, in fact they've been fairly pleasant to me sofar. But I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with the recently advertised E7200 dedicated server special they've been advertising here at WHT?

When I first ordered my server a couple of weeks ago it was delayed an extra couple of days because they were having problems with the E7200 Core 2 Duos getting along with the motherboards they were using - no big deal, I know from experience that the E7200 is a great little C2D but it can be a real booger with certain motherboards. (Some boards still can't handle the new 45nm cores) But they finally got my server delivered and BOY was it FAST compared to my old Celeron 2.4ghz that I had at ExistHosting (now GoGax). I was one HAPPY camper.

Well tonight I come home from a party to dozens of emails from people saying half of my sites are down, email isn't responding, etc. Upon logging into the server I quickly discover that there is an apparent hardware failure of MASSIVE proportions going on. Half of the files on the server were missing, what was still there was corrupt, and almost every basic linux command resulted in a nasty I/O error.

Code:
Last login: Fri Aug 15 23:23:29 2008 from XXxxxx.swbell.net
[root@hammond ~]# fsck
-bash: /sbin/fsck: Input/output error
[root@hammond ~]# shutdown now
-bash: /sbin/shutdown: Input/output error
[root@hammond ~]# vi
Vim: Caught deadly signal BUS
Vim: Finished.

Bus error
[root@hammond ~]#
Before Vim completelystopped working I also spotted some errors in /var/log/messages complaining about a couple of bad sectors on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 so I suppose I could have just gotten a bad HDD... I dunno though something seems weird.

So I'm wondering, has anyone else with this particular server from TheNYNoc been having problems after a few weeks, or am I just unlucky? Hopefully it's just a bad drive and not some weird exotic problem with the E7200 + mobo combination. I don't fancy having to setup my server a THIRD time in the next few weeks. A second time is going to be bad enough.

Dang it, I just had everything perfect the way I like it too.

Reload OS Time

Jun 27, 2008

What is a reasonable expectation for how long a host should take to reload an OS?

Read on for my story if you want details behind my questions...

Due to a logical but unfortunately incorrect mistake on my part, we ordered a dedicated Windows server with a 64-bit OS. We just found out that the 64-bit OS isn't compatible with a software package and we needed to get the 32-bit OS reloaded in a hurry.

I understand that urgency on my part doesn't necessarily mean it's an urgency on their part, but I am also paying additional for the server reload. I submitted a ticket with the hosting company yesterday around 7PM to get it reloaded ASAP. As of 9AM this morning I didn't hear anything from them one way or another so I signed in to my hosting account only to find that they left a reply to my ticket asking to confirm that I really indeed want a reload with the selected reload options. I never received any type of an email notification of the reply. I was a little miffed that I didn't get any e-mail, but oh well so I confirmed that was indeed what I wanted.

At 10:30 I get an e-mail asking me to reconfirm that my server's physical specs and there is a discrepancy on the memory installed as their records were outdated and showed 1/2 what was really installed. I have to contact my account exec to get that straightened out and I finally get notified that the reload has started around 11:30AM.

I was originally told informally 3-4 hours in a support chat. Here it is 12+ hours after the reload supposedly started and I have heard nothing from them. I tried checking at 5:30PM tonight before I left work what the status was, but the lady I spoke with just repeated the message I got at 11:30AM saying things were underway and that she couldn't give me an ETA on when things would be finished.

Am I unreasonable in thinking 24 hours after I submit the ticket with an priority of "ASAP" is too long? I'll cut some slack for the miscommunication on confirming that I indeed want a reload but even then it's been 12+ hours after they said that they have started and the server when down.

Reload A Dedi

Mar 11, 2008

I asked my host to reload/rebuild my dedicated server as I wanted to clear my entire server so that I can used it for a brand new project but I was told that it would cost me $75 per server.

Am I able to engage a freelancer to do it rather than getting my hosting provider? I would also need to change the server hostname from www1.xxx.com to www1.yyy.com and the name server to be changed to ns1.yyy.com and ns2.yyy.com instead of ns1/2.xxx.com. In short, I do not want yyy.com to be traced back to xxx.com at all. I do not want a traceroute, cpanel or other means to link the two site together.

Zoneedit Don't Reload My Zones

Feb 12, 2008

I have a dynamic zone with zoneedit.

I'm using ddclient. When the external ip change, ddclient update
the A register.

I see that A register updated in the control panel interface.

But that updated IP does not propagate. I have waited more than one
hour and do not see the changes spread.

Only when I change the A register inside the control panel for any
value and then I change it again into the real value the change is
spread and everything works well.

Looks like ddclient not force reload my zone, only when change the
ip in the control panel.

Take An Image Of The Server And Reload It Again If Need Be

Dec 17, 2008

i have set up a sever with certain software exactly the way i want it. However, there is some extra stuff i need to install on it.

I am running Centos 5.1 and would like to run some command possibly via ssh which would create an entire image of the server in a disk format such as ISO and then if need be, reinstall the basic operating system and restore the ISO back up if need be.

Is this possible?

If so how and how would i restore the image as well?

VPSbyte Dead

May 28, 2009

I've ordered dedicated sever the AMD4200 at vpsbyte last Thursday, exactly a week ago, but status on my client page is still pending, during a whole week i sent 4 emails with 1 response - a promise to set up server in Monday, and that's 3 days ago. Gee i am so pissed off i had to set my project to idle and loose money. Their website is totally outdated to 2008 and buggy as hell, that kayako support thing doesn't work at all, general support is offline 24h, MSN is offline, 1h response means maybe 1 week response if lucky.I don't really grow my money in trees and i really need superfast connection to my dedicated server for reasonable price...

I feel robbed, should i report them to authorities for scam? or they are just out of business?

Dead Hard Drive

Sep 30, 2008

I have never had a hard drive fail on me, i dont think the I/O on my servers would ever warrant it but im looking to ask people that have had a hard drive die one them the following:

1. Were you ever cautious before your hard drive failure or did you lose data and if you did lose data, did it make you buck up your ideas (i.e do you now have a solid backup plan or do you still play maverick)

2. If you have had a hard drive failure, has it made you, do you think, overly-cautious?

3. Has a hard-drive failure ever swayed you towards the more expensive raptor drives? and if so, why?
