Lots of changes in the pipe, LANRails on github!
Aug 3rd
WOw, so it has been quite a long time since I’ve done anything here – I guess I should probably get off my butt and do something. Well, I am, in fact. Coming up soon there will be a new theme, as well as all of the subdomains using the same WordPress install – you know what that means: unified logins! Yay! So keep your eyes peeled for a new look for the site, as well as a special look for all of those of you who like to follow the cult favorite RicePaddy.org. I will be resurrecting the old RicePaddy theme, though the content will still be the same!
In other news, for LAN party management website software solutions, there’s another player in town – LANRails, your Ruby On Rails solution for managing a LAN party! Visit my LANRails project on github.com if you are interested in it.
And also in other news – there’s a new beer in the primary as of yesterday – a Chocolate Coffee Stout! Keep your eyes peeled on the site for recipes!
Server Downtimes Addressed
Nov 24th
It came to my attention over the weekend that the Apache webserver running on my server was down for approximately 4 hours on Saturday, and again for about an hour on Sunday. For some reason, Apache keeps receiving terminate signals and shuts down – but I cannot find any real reason behind it in the logs. The best guess I can make is that something is going on with Passenger (a.k.a. – mod_rails) with a spawned Ruby on Rails app, but since I love Redmine too much for SCM and project management I’m going to let this one slide.
Anyways, this problem has been addressed. I installed a process monitor on the server which checks running applications and daemons every minute to make sure they’re up to snuff. Should Apache crash, hang, or simply take up far too much memory it will be restarted. So far in the time since it was installed yesterday, it restarted Apache successfully when it was down this morning. Hopefully I will find a reason behind Apache’s sudden deaths soon so that I do not have to rely on the monit daemon simply to restart it.
