RE: What happened to rpgenerationx.com?

Our experience is that it is plenty stable, albeit a bit of a pain to set up.  
The only thing that stikes me as unusual
is that if you shut the WAS servers hard, you run the risk of repository 
corruption.  The answer to that is to have a
backup of your stable repository; that way, you can import the XML.. I'll bet 
you can fix it by hand but I'm not an XML
guru...

Actually Walden, the complaint is not with the stability of the Iseries as a 
web server.  The problem here is the old
IBM HTTP CERN server.  I have three 820 boxes each running about 20 different 
instances of BEA weblogic, IBM HTTP CERN
and IBM HTTP (Powered by Apache) and I can't remember the last time we had to 
restart a server for any reason other than
the idiot programming the thing (that would be me!) did something wrong with a 
servlet or SQL query etc...

So far, I haven't experienced any of the problems Brad is talking about under 
V5R1.  But problems like this will occur
on any platform from time to time.

Of course this is my own opinion, and I can't vouch for the experiences of any 
one else on the list.
Thanks,

OK, I know I'm going to regret this, but...

Given this thread (and others like it on Midrange and Ignite) can someone
please explain to me again why having one iSeries box (you know the one that
never crashes) as my web server is better than a farm of cheap Linux or
Windows Intel boxes serving your web?

This isn't the first time (more like 10+) that people have complained about
the stability of the iSeries as a web server. Why do people keep using it?
Aren't Bob, Bleddyn, David, Andrew, etc. supposed to be the experts at this?
If they have such a problem, what't up?

I love the stability of the iSeries for database and green screen, but I
must say that I think web serving is best left to web servers that have
millions of installations.

PS. Andrew, your just the lucky post I'm replying to, my comments apply to
the entire thread.

This is a common problem with HTTP server classic (I don't know if it
happens on Apache) on an AS/400...

The 400 takes connections and then instead of answering, it starts failing,
and instead of answering slowly - it craps out...

The pattern is CPU usage is THROUGH the roof while the world creams us, then
CPU usage drops to almost nothing, while the system TCP/IP connections rise
un-answered.  It then (after about 2 minutes or so) comes back to life, but
it's not the same - you then END & restart the server and it works again.

This was something I noticed with a HIGH volume hitting fast and furious.

Strange thing is the site is up, and accepting connections. However it
doesn't respond. Anyone know (remember) what machine type it was running?

The Web site www.rpgenerationx.com seems to be unavailable, lately.  Anybody
know what happened to it?
