FOXCOUNTER, Kiss my ass or get your shit together
 

Got a shitload of sites you ya, last 48 hours I checked my stats I got this:

2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

Happens all the time, please fix it or we shall leave your otherwize extremly fine service. :)

:waaaaahh

Fine and FREE I might add

People still use them?

Yes... FREE.. AND FINE... I love this counter.

Counters are so 1999.

I like it better than any other counter and my server logs. But I must say there database has been screwed up off and on for at least the last month. wish they would get it fix.

Time to pull ourselves together.

The problems you have seen with foxcounter in recent days have been related to a disk error.

Initially the database process was halting due to what appeared to be some corrupt data. So, we dumped all the data out and reloaded it all (for the technically minded the database is in InnoDB files) which is the only way to 'clean' any corrupt database files. In the process, we also upgraded the db software to the latest version. This all happened during the 48hr downtime that was mentioned above. It seems that this reloading and upgrade haven't solved the problem. The db process is still exiting unexpectedly so we are now in the process of running some diagnostics to determine whether it is a problem with the scsi drive or something a little less sinister (like the drive needs to be scanned for bad sectors and have the bad sectors marked as such).

So .... please bear with us while we sort this out. As you can imagine, it is a large and fairly complex setup we have here. I am hoping that we can just find a few bad sectors on the disk.

wow, do you own Foxcounter?

:) Nope. I just look after the technical side of things.
