Umm, Pixy? Are you mad at me?
I've checked a handful of other MuNu sites. I'm the only one. :-(
Posted by Jennifer at December 31, 2005 01:14 AM | TrackBackI'm powerless to assist. The only blogs I can work on are the ones I set up. :-(
Posted by Jim at December 31, 2005 04:35 AMThat's so weird, I was just mucking around in the CPanel and it showed me as using 75% of my allowed bandwidth for the month.
Just for an FYI, what is the bandwidth limit for each blog?
Posted by Vinnie at December 31, 2005 05:22 AMFolks, don't panic, this is just an annoying "feature" in cPanel, the site management tool on the server. It requires that some value be entered for maximum bandwidth at each site - it can't be left blank. It looks like you managed to get to Pixy's arbitrary default.
As soon as he sees the situation, he'll be able to reset you. As a matter of fact, as the calendar rolls over, cPanel may reset you itself.
Annoying sure, but emminently fixable.
Jen, some ritual offering of M&M's might be in order though, just to cover your bases.

Posted by Light & Dark at December 31, 2005 07:24 AMBased on my site meter I've probably got tons of extra bandwidth if anyone needs some!
Posted by Stephen Macklin at December 31, 2005 01:57 PMWho's panicking? Just waiting for the fix/new month. No big whoop.
Posted by Jennifer at December 31, 2005 06:17 PMI'm sure the boring blogs don't have the problem. Does cPanel support the infinity symbol?
Posted by Ontario Emperor at December 31, 2005 10:31 PMSorry!!! 
All fixed now. I've doubled the bandwidth allocation for you and Annika.
Lawren had just gone over her limit too, and Munuviana was right on the edge.
On the old server, this feature didn't work - it never cut anyone off. On the new server, it works great, and this was our first full month, so... Ouchie time.
The bandwidth allocation is 5GB or 10GB per month for new moos, and I adjust it over time for the popular blogs. Except when I forget...
It's really just to make sure nothing goes berserk. You're allowed to upload videos, for example, but if you get linked by Slashdot and suddenly 100,000 people want to download the file, it will stop them before they suck the server dry.
Posted by Pixy Misa at December 31, 2005 11:26 PMVinnie, I've doubled your allowance too. And a few other munus.
Posted by Pixy Misa at December 31, 2005 11:33 PMWow, thanks Pixy. I was just curious.
You might want to keep an eye on Merri when she gets settled in. Her adoration of all things Rachael Ray nets her big traffic.
