Hi folks,
VPS capacity is now generally available again. Feel free to use the
buttons on the web site to order if paying by PayPal, else drop an
email to support(a)bitfolk.com if you want to pay by one of the other
means.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy,
I thought I'd post this to the list in case others find the answer
useful. I didn't realise that there were no more servers available. When
do you think that you'll have more capacity? I could do with adding a
server or two and that there aren't any available is a bummer to say the
least.
Apologies if this has been covered but when I'm busy I usually just skim
this list.
Cheers,
Chris...
This email was independently scanned for viruses by McAfee anti-virus software and none were found
I had a similar issue around the same time which has resolved itself without
intervention.

The DNS is hosted by the .com provider, during today it all seems to have
come back online and is working correctly. I can only assume that this was a
DNS issue, as i have done nothing that would have resolved it myself.

I have a VPS running Debian which has been fine for a while with no major
changes that has suddenly stopped responding to the domain name associated
with it, this is a registered .com domain, i can access the VPS via SSH and
the webserver by using the IP address however not by the DNS any longer. I
have done a whois on the .com and it is still valid etc and reported as
being ok. This seems to be a DNS problem i should probably be looking at the
domain name provider to solve, however i wonder if you guys have any other
thoughts. Checking the logs on the server i can see nothing that should have
caused this problem but to be honest i haven't ever had to deal with
something like this.
Thanks Andrew.
Hi folks, hopefully you can help me solve this issue by means other than
asking Andy to reprovision my VPS. Failing that hopefully you'll get a
chuckle at my 'maintainance whilst too tiered' story.
I issued "sudo chmod og= .*" whilst in /etc/skel intending to change the
permissions on the three dot files in there. It changed the permissions
on /etc instead. Now any sudo xxx command results in "sudo: can't open
/etc/sudoers: Permission denied".
I can't login as root - the account has no password set.
I can't do a "sudo passwd" to set the root password.
I can't do a "sudo chmod" on the /etc/sudoers file.
Any ideas on what to do?
I regularly get a few connection timeouts from the spamd service, it's
free and best effort so it's hardly a problem.
Today there was a period, 18:00 - 18:20, where exim couldn't connect at
all, no route to host/conn refused errors.
Since then I am seeing far more connection timeouts.
May indicate a problem on the box running that service, not sure.
Regards,
Nigel
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing some strange network drops (or perhaps "pauses") on my
VPS. Network traffic seems to be stopped for a few seconds (~15-30 secs)
These seem to happen every few minutes. This seems to have started over the
last couple of days and affect all network traffic AFAICT. (Certainly HTTP
and SSH are disrupted.) There's no loading issues or memory issues that I
can see.
Has anyone else been experiencing similar? Next step is to run tcpdump to
"capture" one of these pauses.
Thanks,
Tony
Hi all,
On my Etch VPS, apt tells me I should upgrade to the latest kernel
packages with xen, but when I try to I get the following;
Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686 (2.6.26-15) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686

Googling, I found a post on this very list with the exact error and
recommended fix;
http://lists.bitfolk.com/lurker/message/20080529.142153.954fedf4.el.html
I'd implement it right away apart from the bit where Andy says 'images
installed after today will be setup like this from the start', and as my
VPS is only a few weeks old, I thought I'd ask around to see if there
are any known issues, or a newer, more recommended fix..
cheers

This has started to affect my VPS over the last week or so, although i am on
a WIFI connection where the router was recently changed. I can however
confirm that for me restarting the VPS has no effect.
Hi folks,
Last night at approximately 01:40Z faustino was power cycled. It
wasn't done by me, and on talking to the colo provider it seems only
this machine in he rack was affected and nobody was working in the
rack at the time.
As a result all customers on faustino experienced a hard reboot at
around that time.
I've been trying to discover how/why this happened but there is
nothing suspicious logged, so I'm having a hard time. Obviously I
do suspect a hardware problem and will be keeping a close eye on the
server. There is spare hardware which can be used if need be.
Apologies for the disruption.
Cheers,
Andy
