Server Issues - Website gone away

[RacingPete]

We are having a little problem with the Squid servers (that do the caching of pages ie so it speeds up the website) and we are trying to sort them now by rebuilding them.

It is causing the main web address to have an issue (www.pistonheads.com), 5 more minutes to solve.

Apologies for anyone wanting to get away from rubbish Christmas telly.

Thanks for working on it so late. Though as you mentioned, youre not missing much on the telly.

No peace for the wicked. Thanks for the info, other sides don't bother

Everything forward, and trust in the lord....

It could still be, best reformat it. That will solve it.

I did warn you to remember to buy the hamsters Christmas presents!!

[RacingPete]

OK it was a bit of an attack on our site, a spurious way of doing a DOS attack which we have hoped to now blocked.

Sorry about that.

Nothing for you to be sorry about, but I really hope we don't find out who tried to attack PH... They'll be made to be sorry if we do

If that doesn't fix it next time, two sharp taps with a lump hammer on the keyboard should do the trick...

Oh, can you imagine?! The unadulterated carnage from the PH massive...?

Where's the popcorn?



PS: Nice job tracking it down RacingPete...
