Site update...
The site seems more stable now — I got up this morning and it hadn't gone down overnight, or if it did it restarted. It restarted a couple times yesterday. I still haven't isolated what the real problem is, but I got a lot of symptoms treated. I haven't ruled out an attack from outside, even though I'm running out of ports to block. My event log is full of messages that read "Access denied attempting to launch a DCOM Server." The DCOM server's GUID equates to Microsoft Word, and Google shows a recent spate of these problems, which seem to have started seriously around the beginning of July, just when our old server started having trouble. As an experiment, I'm in the process of rebuilding the main page in PHP. When ASP hung last night the page kept working. I'm hoping to have it done tonight, having tugged out most of my few remaining hairs in the process of switching programming languages. It's at http://rantburg.com/index.php, and I haven't tested it under load. If it holds up, I'll go ahead and start rewriting page after page in PHP, and probably eventually convert to Apache and maybe even Linux. If it fails under load, I dunno what I'll do. Maybe buy a dog and shoot the dog... Posted by: Fred 2004-08-07 |
