[axxs-sysadmin] Two Questions

[Torrance]

Hi all,

I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know how to access the 100GB of "backup" space that came
with Hetzner? Indymedia.org.nz is soon to lose the server that currently
hosts its backups, and if it's possible we would like to start backing
up onto that space. Dave, this is probably your area since Hetzner is in
your name?

2. How would people feel about dropping Varnish as reverse proxy (for
now)? We have been having persistent problems with getting 503 errors on
about 40% of all POST requests to the server, and this is particularly
offputting for people trying to post articles, comments, etc. The
problem is with Varnish, but discussion on the Varnish developers list
hasn't provided any solutions. The only difficulty in moving off varnish
would be fashioning a script to change the port numbers in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/ back to 80.

Cheers,
Torrance
