One of my memory modules failed today on my trusty "Web Server". I
came in and was going to update my "Main Blog" and then of
course couldn’t make any connection to my "Web Server".
My "Music Server" was still streaming music and I could see a number of
people listening to this Music on Winamp.
Well I tried to ping my "Web Server" from my "Music Server" and
that didn’t work so I logged into my backup Linux server and couldn’t ping it
from there either.
I Then slid my "Web Server" out a bit on the rack and began isolating the
issue. Once I determined it was the one stick of 512mb RAM I located my
receipt called the store I bought it from and found that since I had purchased
it as a package I had to return it as a package.
Anyway now I have my 1gb of RAM back and my web Server intact.
I now need to get my backup "Web Server" up to speed again. With all of
the changes I have made to my main "Web Server" I have ported none over
to my backup system! I should have been ready for this scenario!
I will have more on this on my "Main Blog" whose link is listed to the
left.
