Hello,

I'll be taking all of MoneyAM's websites off line from 2100 hours tonight to upgrade our webservers.

This work shouldn't take more than 2 hours.

I will post once the work's completed.

J.

DocProc,

Did it work?

J.

Erm, err.....well, erm, er, let's say, so far, I'm fairly, erm, er, optimistic....

;-)

DocProc,

Good, so am I.

Sodding computers.

J.

Well I was doing fine, impressed I was still logged on after having gone away for dinner and come back, and then it logged me out as I clicked on Later Posts on this very thread.

Kayak,

Hmm.

I can see the sessions that have been created, one at 17:20 and another at 19:09, each on different clusters.

The only way I can see this happening is if your session at 17:20 expired, or if your cookie expired.

Could you check what timezone your machine is set in, and whether it thinks it's in BST at the moment or not. (Control Panel, Regional Settings...)

Very strange...

J.

Hmmm? All is still OK for me but I've gone slightly less optimistic after reading that.

By the way, I'm on 'GMT Daylight Time'.

Is this correct; is it the best and if not, what is?

Jon, I'm in Togo at the moment, could that be the problem?

Just joking, yes summer here :-)

Kayak,

Even if you were in Togo, it shouldn't be a problem as long as as the clock is set right for the timezone the computer's in.

I'm putting it down to you doing something odd. Perhaps your magic privacy proxy thing cleared it after a few hours of inactivity. Yes, that's most likely it - your fault ;)

J.

All back working for me now.

OK if I'm the only one logged out henceforth then I'll believe your explanation :-)

optomistic,

that's good; I'm glad everything's ok.

J.

Kayak,

:)

J.

Back in without any difficulty on Firefox now. Thanks. (PS I didn't do anything except wait!).

SC,

Excellent news. Thanks for your patience.

J.

I always have to log in several times a day. Plays havoc with my Terminal windows. Will the new server setup cure this problem?

Kyoto,

Hopefully. You'll need to be browsing round the site to keep your session active, any page should do it - the session timeout's set to 4 hours (that's 4 hours of total inactivity)

Let me know how you get on.

J.

Just logged in again :-)

Heyyy so did I :))

Kayak,

Are you sure that none of your privacy software is shortening the lifetime of the cookie we provide?

I"ve only had to re log in when I've left the terminal for more than 4 hours so far :/

J.

hmm.

perhaps not.

I'll do more testing tomorrow.

J.
