Getting DDOSED ?

[marcotheminer]

Migration testing ended up running an import script on the server ended up taking up way too much resources on the server. We are figuring out a better way to not starve the production box. This wasn't because of a DDOS.

Hi,

was the forum under a ddos attack from someone ? I wasen't able to access the forum for about 30mn-1h . I was getting a Database error at the begginig saying "please try again. if you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator." for a while then that Gateway error which is known when ddos attack happens as far as I know

any Staff member can confirm that ? or members can confirm that It was really down and not just for me

Why are you running an import script on a production box? Kinda not profesional instead you should have had another server spinned up. Made that server a mysql read only slave and then run the import script off of that.

They're getting paid a million by the way .

I'm sure we could all pitch in for some new hardwa.... ohwait Although /s because I'm not a donator.

Dude, do you have any idea how much that would've cost going that route? It's not like this forum is being fixed via some dude being handed a million bucks or something, for there's a tight budget to take into consideration.

A million dollars is actually a small amount to be paying for a custom piece of software, especially one that is designed to handle millions of DB entries per day
