Welcome Back, Claude
September 9th, 2008 by FuzzTagged as: I am a complete NERD.
When Lunarpages decided that we were using too much CPU (central processing unit), they booted us to an “abuse server.” The abuse server is designed to stop resource-heavy sites or sites that are experiencing Denial-of-Service attacks from taking down all of the other sites on a shared-server environment.
One of the safety switches on the abuse server blocks IP addresses when it detects that too much data is transferred to or from the site. That means that if you try to FTP (file-transfer protocol) files to the site or download them to backup your site, it blocks you from having any access at all to the site. So, for awhile, both Claude and I were locked out of our server. It was a nightmare.
As of this morning, Claude was able to view the site again. Balance has been restored to the Force.
Okay, enough nerdery. Back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.
