Upon further investigation it appears that Tiscali have seriously borked their name server resolution for at least one of their access servers which means that anyone dialling into that NAS will fail our email servers anti-spam checks. I have paged the Tiscali support line (the only way to get access to their support people at the weekend is to page their general number and hope they will get back to you :( ) and will try and get them to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. In the meantime if you are dialled into the old platform and experiencing this problem there are two things you can do to resolve it: 1. Use the new dialup platform on 0834 604 2086 (modem and ISDN) or 2. If the above is not satisfactory for you (please let us know!) try using a different access number for the old platform. The numbers for the old platform are: For modems: 0845 662 1098 0845 662 1198 0845 662 1298 0845 662 1598 0845 662 1698 <- this is the NAS with the problems I think For ISDN: Use the new platform on the number above.

We have glad scripts clear all connections hourly, and increased the number of simultaneous open connections allowed but to no avail. The effect of it being disabled is that any script that relies upon it will fail to access the database. Simply change mysql_pconnect() to mysql_connect() and all will work.

Fortunately this turned out to be a very short outage. I've spoken with Energis and they confirm that they had a problem with one of their core routers which required about 10 minutes of downtime to resolve. All the websites are back online now.

We also had problems this morning on the server that hosts accounts for subscription members which was partially caused by the above. This was resolved by about 11:00 About 15:00 this afternoon it came to my attention that the FTP service on the subscription account hosting server had died. Further investigation showed that a serious disk error had developed on that server on a vital filesystem and teh server was rapidly dropping to its knees. I have managed to move the contents of the filesystem onto another physical diskwhich will hopefully isolate the faulty hardware and prevent any further problems as a result - allowing us time to keep going until someone can replace the disk. This means that there will be downtime on that server some time next week while the disk is replaced - this may also require a complete re-install. We hope to avoid that if possible. We realise that todays problems will have caused a lot of inconvenience and we do apologise for this. We are working to roll out additional servers so as to reduce the impact that any such problems can have in the future and the mailbox quotas are pretty much all in place now which should guarantee that such mail bounce loops don't occur again.

I thought a problem with running perl scripts may be solved by running apache as user apache - but it wasnt - I had to rebuild suexec :( While it was running as apache there will have been some file access denials for files owned by nobody. Anyway its running as nobody again - although it will change to 'apache' in the near future - with suitable notice. The perl scripts are working again as well.

I have not yet identified the cause but the enormouse load increase shortly before the fault suggests an errant user script causing a DOS.
