First small problem I fix!

“Host went stale”. That’s what I came home to just now. Check it out:

Next to that Status: ALERT (load, swap, diskio). No wonder with those available resources. What did just happen? lol. I still have no idea what caused it, even after going through the logs. The good news: I can fix it by rebooting the VPS.

:confused:

It was running for 21 days, so, if it keeps to this performance I don’t mind giving it a boot once in a while. *knocks on wood*

Feedburner socialize options

While I’m so proud I’ve managed to publish 2 articles in my native language for my other site, I’m also very impressed with the new feedburner option: socialize. It enables you to automatically post to any given twitter account you own when you publish something new on your feed.

Isn’t that a lifesaver? I love the function really. Immediate plugging. No clicks involved.

Whoever thought of that, gets a kiss from me. lol.

Setup e-mail

That was one last thing I had on my list to try for all the domains I got by now. I think I sorta got it to work…

At first I could only send mail, but never receive mail.

So I set the hostname for mail to the IP number of the server (A Record) in DNS management.

Now I can receive mail from hotmail.com but (still) not from gmail, like before. It says Relay Access Denied. So unless that’s still related to my recent DNS change I’ve got it to work without much effort. Let’s see in 24 hours.

Edit:

:smile:

It’s safe to say it works, I received my first spam mail FROM A GMAIL ACCOUNT.

FTP; now a disaster

OF COURSE you never get to go live without problems. Once the DNS been hooked, now I can’t get *any* files through to the server via FTP. Stalls over 100k, for sure. How not amused that I am.

:smug:

So far the webserver didn’t crash in on itself though. Guess I should be _lucky_.

Who is:

87.118.253.2?

Da comrad, let’s drink to that. *sighs*. I has many new error logs nao. I suppose a Russian Federation IP proxy thingy is not very good showing up in a certain error log. Begone my nerdish friend, you can just gimme a call if you want a date. :P
