gnawz Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Dear all, I have a Redhat Linux box which manages my internal LAN and email. Sometimes, my website and some sites are not viewable from within the company but viewable outside. I sometimes have to restart the router but nothing happens. Is the Linux box affecting my network? What could be the problem? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121677-website-not-showing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Where going to need more details. How exactly is this redhat box managing your LAN? Is it the router? Is the webserver (your website) behind this same router? Do you run internal DNS or is your webserver listed in the hosts files of your local machines?

gnawz Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 It is not the router. The router is separate. But yes, we do run internal DNS. All internet correspondence like mail has to go through the BOX first. In fact whenever there is heavy mail flow, most cases that is when we can not view our website.

Daniel0 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Then you've answered your own question, haven't you? What is that box' function and is it even necessary to route everything through it?

gnawz Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Gurus, I really just need to know if the Linux box is what causes our website not to be viewable at times within our network. Like I said, it manages mail and network connections plus internal DNS. Thanks in advance.

Daniel0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 If it occurs when there is a spike in mail activity on that box then I would say, yes, the problem lies within that box.

Daniel0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 We have the same problem here (I think). We do an hourly backup of the database and during that time the CPU usage jumps to 100% which results in unresponsiveness on the webserver. Unfortunately, we've yet to find a working solution to that problem.

Unfortunately, we've yet to find a working solution to that problem. You know what? That explains a lot. Every once in a while it takes a long time to load and I'm like "What? My connection is perfectly fine. Grrrr." Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/121677-website-not-showing/#findComment-628823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Exactly. It'll occur for about a minute every hour. The only solution I see is to setup a MySQL replication server and do the backups there. We'll need another server to do that and I doubt Eric, the owner, will like that seeing as he already pays a lot of money for keeping this site running (way, way more than the donations give).

Yeah, I can understand his situation. =P At least now I know why it does that.
