Louis Feges: [PyCS-devel] RE: [Pyds-dev] Heads-up: pycs.net is all screwed up

Hi,
Problem still exists...
<snip>
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /users/0000111/.

Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Operation timed out
</snip>

regards,
Louis

Hey guys,

This may be affecting some of you -- just wanted to drop you a line to let
you know that there is some weird shit going on with the code running on
pycs.net. I'm getting segfaults inside the MetaKit (database) code on the
server. I suspect that the database is damaged, but I've already rebuilt
it, so I'm stumped for the moment.

I've put in a supervision script to restart the server when it dies, but if
anybody notices anything weird like rankings or comments not working, please
get in touch ASAP so I can take a look. It should be a bit more reliable
from now on -- no mre several hour outages after crashes.

BTW, that means now if you get a 'proxy failure' error when accessing pages
on pycs.net, something has _really_ gone wrong, so please get in touch
straight away! :-)

Cheers,
Phil
