Uptime question

jleveille · Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2003 8:42 pm Post subject: Uptime question

Last week I moved my web site over to its new Gentoo home. My uptime displays properly using the command, but netcraft allways shows the uptime for the server as 0, Is this masked somehow, or has anyone seen this before? Just curious.

first off, really like the site...

secondly, has the server been down at all? perhaps it only logs your uptime once there is a final number for it to post? im not sure though

Thanks

It has been up for a week since I brought it on line last Friday.

20:05:44 up 7 days, 6:45, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.05, 0.01

hmm

have you experienced delays in netcraft's logging of your site before? i.e. perhaps they only update their statistics once a week or something

They have always been within 24 hours so I thought it was odd it stayed at zero.

I believe that the default configuration of Gentoo or Apache, can't be sure which, masks this info. I know I have not had any uptime data of my machine recorded by Netcraft, it always says that "No uptime data is available for this machine", or something to that effect.

I have been searching the net for days on this, nothing out there. I do see other Gentoo servers showing in netcrafts surveys. Ah well its not enough to worry about. Thank guys.

you might want to PM some of the gentoo devs, or look for them on IRC...because the gentoo site (which is running gentoo obviously) is shown on netcraft...maybe they will have some insight

question: im trying to list my new site on netcraft...how do you submit your site? have a link for me?

jleveille · Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2003 2:56 am Post subject:

From the netcraft main page http://news.netcraft.com/ just enter the site in the "Whats that site running" form on the top left of the page and they will start tracking it.

Once they receive requests for a site they start tacking uptime.

will this work for my site if i dont have a named domain, and just rely on the few visitors of the site typing in my IP address and/or being redirected from another remotely hosted page of mine?

I am not sure if it will work, reading the faq leads me to believe an ip or redirection is ignored.

Interesting, checked two machines, server runs vanilla-sources and the major differences between this and a workstation running gentoo-sources is as follows:

gentoo-sources Workstation:
PU(Resp=Y%DF=N%TOS=C0%IPLEN=164%RIPTL=148%RID=E%RIPCK=E%UCK=E%ULEN=134%DAT=E)

Displays uptime

Vanilla-sources Server:
PU(Resp=N)

No uptime reported.

Time to dig into the kernels.

Thanks

I have the same problem on my server, 0problem.dk. A few weeks ago, it worked fine, but now netcraft does not record uptime from my server. I thought it was because of my upgrade to Apache 2, but it could also be the kernel, since I recently (just about the same time as my apache upgrade, I think) upgraded from 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 to 2.4.20-gentoo-r5.

It's not a huge problem, but I like to look at the statistics once in a while. So if any of you find a simple solution, it would be nice if you would post a little note in here... :-)

Monday I booted the system into a new vanilla-sources 2.4.21 kernel using the same .config as in the earlier kernel I was running. Netcraft is now detecting uptimes correctly.

It seems it is not a configuration issue in the kernel but the kernel thats being used itself. In a previous post I said I was using vanilla-sources on this machine and gentoo-sources on a machine that worked correctly. It was the reverse, vanilla-sources works.

My uptime isn't being reported: I'm using vanilla sources 2.4.20. Could it be a kernel configuration or firewall issue?
