Haha, that's funny.. never thought that such a serious company could have this kind of lame problems. Guess if they didn't track sales during this period (which I doubt though) this might cost them a lot of money
It's only the client area thats affected, I'm sure the tracking system is on a different set of servers and software.
I know for a fact that tracking is on separate networks. They have 2-3 large clusters of servers in California and other regions of the US that handle all the tracking. They are completely unrelated to the client-facing webserver. Oh and PS, seems to be working fine for me now.
all we know for now is the client servers are down.. the fact is, even if there is a separate server for tracking.. that may also be down! ! ! still not working for me
just tried from California.. got this mess... 500 Servlet Exception java.lang.NullPointerException: null buffer || null address at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.send(Native Method) at java.net.DatagramSocket.send(DatagramSocket.java:612) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.SyslogWriter.write(SyslogWriter.java:69) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.QuietWriter.write(QuietWriter.java:39) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.SyslogQuietWriter.write(SyslogQuietWriter.java:45) at org.apache.log4j.net.SyslogAppender.append(SyslogAppender.java:245) at org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton.doAppend(AppenderSkeleton.java:221) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.AppenderAttachableImpl.appendLoopOnAppenders(AppenderAttachableImpl.java:57) at org.apache.log4j.Category.callAppenders(Category.java:187) at org.apache.log4j.Category.forcedLog(Category.java:372) at org.apache.log4j.Category.log(Category.java:864) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.info(Log4JLogger.java:133) at org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources.<init>(PropertyMessageResources.java:127) at org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResourcesFactory.createResources(PropertyMessageResourcesFactory.java:90) at org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources.getMessageResources(MessageResources.java:577) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.initInternal(ActionServlet.java:1329) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.init(ActionServlet.java:464) at javax.servlet.GenericServlet.init(GenericServlet.java:82) at com.caucho.server.http.Application.createServlet(Application.java:3114) at com.caucho.server.http.Application.loadServlet(Application.java:3065) at com.caucho.server.http.QServletConfig.loadServlet(QServletConfig.java:435) at com.caucho.server.http.Application.getFilterChainServlet(Application.java:2809) at com.caucho.server.http.Application.buildFilterChain(Application.java:2765) at com.caucho.server.http.Invocation.service(Invocation.java:313) at com.caucho.server.http.HttpRequest.handleRequest(HttpRequest.java:246) at com.caucho.server.http.HttpRequest.handleConnection(HttpRequest.java:163) at com.caucho.server.TcpConnection.run(Tc
