Bug box...
2006-01-24
Since we're not even 24 hours into the new server, we can use this space to let me know about the little digital cockroaches as they crawl out. I think I swatted the worst of the swarm last night, but I know I didn't get all of them...

#22  At this moment I've got 1382940k free, 56568k used, 286876k cached on swap. That looks pretty comfy to me. But the memory usage looks real tight.

#21  Also, are you aware linux caches disk pages in memory? Sort of a virtual disk and throws them away when you need to load more stuff. If you look at total memory it should always be near 100%. Process memory is where it gets interesting in linux.

#20  Fred
Looking at #19, do you have swap configured?

#19  Preview opens up a blank window with the "busy" cursor, and stays there for 5 minutes, when I gave up.

#18  Good, perhaps the MOD button will show up on my IE6 platform.

#17  I'm looking at the CPU activity right now. CPU usage is in the 3 percent range/user, 4 percent system, which is utterly unlike what my Win box used to show. Since this is my development box, it's only got 512M of memory, and memory usage is running around 475M. I'm guessing that if the memory usage spikes, that's what causes the beast to sieze up.

I'm going to back up the Win box tonight and then start building Debian on it. Having 2 gigs of memory should clear up the remaining problems. Until then, I'll keep an eye on the thing. As long as it doesn't crash in the middle of the night I'll be able to bring it back up PDQ.

#15  I can't find the so called mod function, this is a serious oversight. Repercussions to follow.

#14  Works for me.
Posted by: Pappy   2006-01-24 18:38  

#13  Should work okay now.

#12  Just tried the "Mod" function again, still not working. Preview is now working fine.

#11  Comments preview is fixed.

#10  I just made a comment in "mod" comments. It worked for me. Browser difference?
Posted by: Fred   2006-01-24 11:58  

#9  Oops, sorry. Comments preview from the main RB pages gives a page not found error. Not that I preview my own comments much. They're always prefect on the first try.

#8  Preview from comments gives me a page not found. Plus "Mod" comments tool ain't working either.
Posted by: Steve   2006-01-24 11:48  

#7  Preview from which page, Sea?
Posted by: Fred   2006-01-24 11:44  

#6  Search should be fixed, at least the one from the main page.
Posted by: Fred   2006-01-24 11:43  

#5  Search doesn't work. Here's the error message:

SELECT * FROM tblTwar WHERE (ucase(rQuote) LIKE '%BOLIVIA%') order by rDate desc Error in query: SELECT * FROM tblTwar WHERE (ucase(rQuote) LIKE '%BOLIVIA%') order by rDate desc . Table 'rantburg.tblTwar' doesn't exist

#4  (1) Still can't preview, no matter what I try. (2) See first post to the story about the man who died on the subway. I had posted a comment that turned out to have a mistake in it, and the next post got mixed with it and appears as a comment instead of an article.
