Swearing ahead...

SHIT SHIT SHIT!!

I'm on Dreamhost's watchlist again - one of the goddamn scripts is causing issues on their servers again. SONUVABITCH. I have already emailed them to tell them that I am aware of the problem and will address it, but that I *can't* until tomorrow when they post the resource logs to me, because... I won't know what the problem is if I disable everything because it won't show up in the logs! I also warned that the last time this happened, they moved me to the bad dog servers without warning and lost all my backups and to please see that it didn't happen again.

GODDAMN, I don't need this right now!

Jesus Fucking Christ, this is just unbelievable.

... Here's the original problem, if you'd like the gory details: http://www.livejournal.com/users/ellenmillion/387872.html

I just want to... cry, I think. Or scream. Or beat my head against a wall.

I have all my fingers and toes crossed that it's not as bad as you fear. :( And that they honor your requests before they do anything. **HUGS**

Oh no. Hope everything works out. :(

If a script just started causing problems, ask them when the problem started and figure out what you had changed right before the problem began. If they can't tell you, see if you can figure it out from yesterday's logs (as I'm guessing Dreamhost provides daily logs for site access).

Do they give any indication of what the misbehaving script is doing? Eg. is it eating too much cpu time or trying to access files it shouldn't? Or?


And at the risk of being smacked...

You should run a copy of your site locally and debug things there before uploading the scripts to Dreamhost. Last I looked, Dreamhost was running Apache and mySQL. Both are available for windows (as I'm assuming you're running windows, not some *nix). You'd have immediate access to the logs for debugging what's misbehaving.


And having said that, I'm sorry thigns are going crappy.

You just spoke some other language, I think. I'm so computer/internet illiterate.

Dreamhost just got weird at me, too. Evidentally my site's using too much CPU time these past two days.

Except that we haven't had any more traffic than usual, and they have provided exactly no way to access our reports and see what might have caused it.

Bugger all.

Ya know, I wonder if there isn't a glitch in the system - they haven't provided my resource logs yet, and I saw hints that another DH user was getting the same stuff, too. Checking my stats and control logs reveals no extra useage, in fact, it's less than other weeks.
