First status information after migration

Saturday, June 30th, 2012, 23:35 by Roi

Ok, the main virtual host jabber.hot-chilli.net and all private virtual hosts moved to the new server today. Also the website and the transport data.

“Transport data” because the transports itself do not run, yet. We need some help from Spectrum maintainers – maybe there is something basicly wrong with the new config files or Spectrum 2 is still too buggy. We will see. Until then please stay tuned and be patient – we do not want to have the transports offline for a long time, but it can take some days.

Also Prosody is having some issues on which we are working hard, especially the maintainer of Prosody, MattJ. Our server is having a lot of load, also “crazy” users icon wink First status information after migration and a Debian system which seems to create more problems with Prosody than other Linux distributions. So if the Jabber server itself is offline from time to time in the next days, we are working on it.

Certificate expired

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012, 21:04 by Beorn

Our jabber server certificate is currently expired.

Unfortunately this expiration date was not correctly set in our schedule and hits us now in a time where Roi is in his well-deserved vacation.

He will update the certificate next week once he is back.

Sorry for all the inconvenience.

 

Server flatlined third day in a row

Sunday, September 11th, 2011, 10:43 by Roi

At the moment we don’t have any idea why. As I am in Italy right now I will investigate this after my return home in the middle of the week. Please stay tuned.

Is anybody aware of any current exploits for ejabberd?

ICQ transport problems

Thursday, March 17th, 2011, 22:18 by Roi

We experienced problems with ICQ transport the last days. According to the developers of Spectrum this is a “glib poll” issue. epoll unfortunally does not work with glib (yet).

Therefore Spectrum ICQ transport now uses libev3 and epoll.

It looks good at the moment, I hope it stays that way. We will see what happens during the next days as our server is the only server which runs this configuration. Not even the Spectrum developers were able to test it, yet. icon wink ICQ transport problems

Numerous crashes…

Thursday, November 25th, 2010, 01:41 by Roi

…happened the last days. This occured out of nothing. Same symptomatic like some time ago when the Jabber server thread suddenly took all available resources and killed the server itself.

We digged deep into the problem and hope, we found a solution for it – which we implemented about one hour ago. A short service outage took place because of a restart to activate the setting.

Hopefully we got to the problem.

DoS again?

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010, 20:52 by Roi

Are we under attack again? It seems – because the server went down yesterday and today. Sorry for the outage, we are looking into the logs as I write this post. Maybe we can find something…

Jabber service outage

Monday, August 16th, 2010, 08:53 by Roi

There was an outage of our Jabber services the last hours. Unfortunally the hard disk ran completly full because of a faultly backup job.

Everything is back online. Sorry guys!

DoS once again yesterday evening

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010, 08:40 by Roi

Once again the server was hit. At around 8pm yesterday evening the services were unreachable for about 30 minutes, the transports for about 60 minutes.

For sure there will be another incident, but this time everything will get logged. From what we then read out of the logs we will choose how we react. If it has something to do with Nimbuzz, we will block Nimbuzz completely.
