Ahhhhh we're under attack!

Post by Red Squirrel »

It apears there may be a dos attack (a crappy one at that) going on right now, "too many connections" is usually a good indication of that. If anyone gets this error let me know as I'm looking into it. It could be our site being attacked or any other site on the server. I would not be too alarmed about it though until I get further details. I'm checking the http logs right now to see if it's simply too many http requests, though a low level dos like pings would not show up in those logs, it would be the server owner that would have that.

Well it's been taken care of. Someone was killing the mysql server, not sure if it was on purpose or not, but either way it got taken care of.
