Server back up... (Tuesday, January 25, 2005)

Ok, well I fixed all the problems on my Compaq server. I re-configured the drive array, and fixed the problem with the bios (the kernel wasn't detecting multiple processors, even though the SMP kernel was running... turns out it was a simple setting in the bios). Now it's running like a dream and I'm running all the updates (again). It's churning out SETI@home workunits at a pace of about 2 to 4 per day (I only have it running while I'm at work). I brought home another box today that is similar to Beanie (remember him?). It is an IBM PC 300PL, and it will be my dedicated webserver as soon as I can get an OS installed on it (it doesn't like my CD-RW images, so I need to buy plain CD-R's to install). I selected it because it is quite and draws about the same amount of power as a light bulb (and puts out less heat), so it'll be extremely easy to run a 24x7 webserver. Stay tuned for more updates!
