Fine here, but even so it's not the end of the world if a website goes down or is slow

Hookers are bad, mmmkay? Maybe you should complain to your ISP aswell, if the shit slow. I'll ask Lev about the 500 Errors, the rest I dunno :)

One of the webservers finally bit the dust (SCSI drive or controller failure). It was due for replacement anyways, and we're prepping one. However, this wasn't the cause of the 500 errors or the slowness. :) It was just more apparant.

Mod Gzip (which is used to make forums nice and fast loading for all the modem users, as well as saving bandwidth all around) has a bug where it will leave huge files around, instead of cleaning up after itself. If it fills the partition where the compression is done, it stops compressing, and you get 500 errors and squid errors.

Apache 2.0.x eliminates the need for mod_gzip, but we were waiting on some packages that needed to be ported to Apache 2, as to not break functionality of sites. (counters, these boards, among other things).

Regardless, even with the gzip bug, AND a webserver dying, we were still serving.

The new webserver should ease the load, and when we finally get everything transitioned to Apache 2, the gzip bug should be dealt with too.
