Rad, seems like you have done everything one could reasonably expect.

I thought that LP said they could/would monitor the problem if they knew when it occurred.  There should be plenty of times and traces on this thread to satisfy that.  I'm just surprised that they can't even guess or determine where the problem exists, especially since it happens every morning from 6:15 to 7:00 am PDT. 

To say the only resolution is to "move to a different server" is kind of like me telling a pc user, to just "buy a new computer" to solve any problem.

(just venting on them, not you.)

there are different groups within LP. Support and admins.

Supposedly, you can't actually *speak* to an admin .. only communicated via email.

And if you send emails, and get no response, what do you do?

Call support.

They can talk to admins, but you can't.

Maybe they are busy with bigger fish. I dunno.

In their defense, they (the admins) weren't notified of the problem until late 25th, early 26th, which includes a holiday.

If I could *talk* to whoever is working on my issue, and find out WHERE they are with it, and what they've discovered, I could make a better decision.

But not knowing ANYthing, leaves me little choice (like the LP supe said) but to request a move to a new server (which is never much fun).

It is most distressing for me to see the site unavailable.

Comments from LP sppt:

Hello.

I read the entire forum thread you posted.  At this point we cannot definitively say whether it is a network issue or a server issue.  There is nothing apparently wrong with the server - no load issues, no alarms ringing anywhere, nothing out of the ordinary, but it is clear from your users that there is a problem somewhere.

I saw in your latest forum posts that you requested a server move back to Los Angeles but I don't see that in this ticket.  Did you open a new ticket?  It would be easy enough to move the account back West if that's the path you want to take.

For the time being I will leave this ticket open while we dig around and we can hope to catch the problem while it's happening.  If it is a server problem it is likely affecting other people as well (although I have yet to see their tickets) so I would like to get it resolved.

I hope you understand the difficulty in troubleshooting an intermittent issue such as this, and I appreciate your patience in the matter.

--
Best Regards

[Rad note - yes, new ticket, and yes, I understand the difficulty of troubleshooting intermittent problems. But it's not just me, and it's not an uncommon problem. It seems Apache was down this morning. That's what the Supe told me. Why was Apache down? Why do I have to call to tell LP Apache (the site) is down? What if I wasn't around, or didn't call?]

Even when the site is down, I can still access email, FTP and pings look fine (most of the time). That seems like the characteristics of a problem with Apache, no?

We've been having problems since the 22nd, and it seems to be getting worse. At first the site was just laggy (10-60 secs). Now we're having outages that last upto an hour.

It's really unfortunate they can't locate the source of the problem.  Because response time is really excellent and fast most of the time.  It's just that when it's bad, it's bad.

I think (knock on wood) it's better and (knock on wood) fast.  I'm amazed Rad at how quickly you got everything moved!

Here's a PingPlotter just taken (6:30am PDT) of the NEW NEW (Los Angeles) server.  Note the really fast round trip times., although in fairness Orange County to LAX is a shorter hop, than OC to Las Vegas.

Rad

Looking good so far this a.m.--no slowdowns or delays noted!

Previous average pingplotter round trip was 60 ms--now it's 40 ms!!!

actually, lunarpages did everything. i just submitted a request & backed-up the site.

here's a ping taken 11:30 am today, probably the site's busiest time:

...

no outages observed yet.

the new server name is KWAN.

Rad, I keep trying to find some anomaly to report, but every time I run PingPlotter at different times during the day and evening, I get the same 13 or 14 msec round trip. 

Everything looks and feels very consistent.

Seems like we can call this resolved with the server move.  The complaints stopped suddenly as soon as the move completed.

I agree.  Out of curiosity, Rad has Lunarpages acknowledged that there is/was a problem with the Apache software on their Las Vegas server?  I assume the problem is there lurking for their other customers using that server.
