OK, it made it through the night. Turning it back on to see what happens now.
― stet, Friday, 23 December 2011 08:26 (twelve years ago) link
Right, shifting to Plan B. Will split the sandbox and ILX on to different servers. Have cranked memory to the max on this instance for ILX now.

lolthx stet, like a family member slipping away this is just reminding me how much i love & rely on ILX so thanks for striving to provide it
― Never translate German (schlump), Friday, 23 December 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, am just watching the memory tank steadily when ILX is up. There's something not right here. Going to need to investigate.
― stet, Friday, 23 December 2011 18:20 (twelve years ago) link
Have closed ILX for now
what setup did you decide to go with
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 23 December 2011 18:21 (twelve years ago) link
not amazon looks like, no
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 23 December 2011 18:22 (twelve years ago) link
did i break it stet?
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 23 December 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
My sense is that, when ILX is reopened with the intention of long term stability, that about 3 or 4 days' worth of the pre-crash threads ought to be displayed to anyone who arrives there. This should cut down considerably on the new arrivals bashing the search function.
― Aimless, Friday, 23 December 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
would it work if it was open but if jimmy riddle was banned? if you open it real quick the first 51 in can help out
― Never translate German (schlump), Friday, 23 December 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
maybe we should just not do ilm could be a solution
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Friday, 23 December 2011 18:25 (twelve years ago) link
hahai didnt search anything. I just started 2 threads
― Anyone need a (Jimmy Riddle), Friday, 23 December 2011 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
and were they really worth it
― Never translate German (schlump), Friday, 23 December 2011 18:27 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah this is still on Amazon. The setup is largely the same as before -- mysql, tomcat and apache -- but it's somehow consuming massive amounts of memory. It's not the actual caches, they're staying about 500mb (which is what I'd expect), but I am seeing free memory steadily dwindle to nowt.
There's two big differences from the old box -- one is that we're running on the OpenJRE instead of the Oracle one (we used to be on the Sun JRE), and the other is that the recreated Lucene search index is now a massive 4gb file (it was previously chunks built up over time).
I am first of all going to try disabling the search and see how it goes with that, and failing that will shift to the Oracle JRE.
It's hugely annoying that the next size of server up is 8gb of memory and $150/month but if that's what it takes so be it.

as a hilarious behavioural experiement can we try an 'essential ilx' where people only try to post things that are worthwhile and important

Thanks for everything.

Thanks for getting ILX up again before the Oz Open tennis, and for all your hard work generally.
Will all the old threads from the old site ever be accessible? Sorry if this ? has already come up....

Have tweaked this and fiddled that and turned on ILX again. It looks a lot healthier this time, so here's hoping. If it conks again, will need to get the big guns in.
― stet, Sunday, 1 January 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
Sweeet, so far so good. Thanks, stet!

Dumb question, but how do I set zing back to ilx (not sandbox)?
― remy bean in exile, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:40 (twelve years ago) link
Just change the instance setting to "ILX"
― stet, Sunday, 1 January 2012 23:50 (twelve years ago) link
ilxor.com is still redirecting to the sandbox btw. direct link http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/index.jsp
― caek, Monday, 2 January 2012 00:03 (twelve years ago) link
Yes -- want to keep it that way. I want to add load back slowly so I can be sure it's working. Right now it seems OK, and has been up longer than any previous attempt, but it's a quiet time generally.
― stet, Monday, 2 January 2012 00:19 (twelve years ago) link
ok cool.
got a tomcat error (which i didn't save sorry) when i logged in, but i manually visited /ILX after that and i was logged in ok.
― caek, Monday, 2 January 2012 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
I never reset zing to sandbox for that very reason
― I'm in the sandbox with the tombstone HOOS (James Redd), Monday, 2 January 2012 01:47 (twelve years ago) link
Also had trouble over there posting from zing for some unknown reason
