Server Woes
Groopi has been having a rocky time over the last few months but we are almost out of the worst of it!
Groopi was being hosted by heroku.com but they were having some serious issues with their load balancers (Gateway exceptions reported when logging in, saving guitar tabs etc..) I have been dealing with a chap named Ivan over than matter, but after three weeks correspondance the issue was still not resolved. Grrr!
So I have decided to host the web server from my office at home! It is running on a Ubuntu VMWare and is load balanced using pound over 5 web instances (using mongrel_cluster).
I am still calibrating stuff like the update processes, network configuration, and memcached caching.. so there may be some short outage periods, I appolgise in advance… please bear with me!!
