"Honest... I ran out of gas! I--I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!!!" - Jake in the "Blues Brothers"

Thank you for the update (and for providing the whole shebang.)
Oh, where's the donation banner? Have we measly creatures finally got our act together?

It's the World Wide Web - which, roughly translated, is "Where in the World is my Web server? Where in the World is my Database server?"
So, considering my Web server is about 400 miles away and the database server is about 1500 miles away, I should move ... exactly where?

Somewhere that they're both equidistant from you o' course... Until the colo arrangements change. Better get a mobile home. And maybe a boat to be on the safe side. ![[rotate]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley25.gif)
OK, Mark, just gettin' me coat!

Well when calling for tech support perhaps your server lives near "There"! My server has serveral homes, so I have to speak and understand several languages.
When nothing works and you've contacted your server all over the world take your fingers and gently hit my favorate keys - CTRL- ALT and delete. Take a break have a beer or 2, watch the ball game, come back to the computer and the server will magically work again for a few days.

Bob -
In the prehistoric days of the original PC and AT, there was a big red on/off switch on the side. DOS, unlike Win7, was able to digest a "kill it now" shutoff, and I had to use it often.
If you press the On button on a running modern PC, it will do an orderly shutdown. If the running process is too messed up to respond, you can hold the button down for about 5 seconds to force a full stop, but the gurus say you can really mess things up by doing it that way. See http://ask-leo.com/whats_the_fastest_safe_way_to_abort_a_malware_download.html.
Despite the warning, I've done it from time to time when nothing else responds, and all that happens on restart is that I have to click through a warning message. As far as I can understand the technical stuff, problems occur only when a disk write is interrupted.
