mediatemple grid crap

Is it just me or has mediatemple gone down the poop hole since its migration to the grid server technology. My sites were faster, more reliable before the migration. Timeout errors every other day, can't even log into their control panel now. Their support seems to have gotten laxed too - I usually get a response within a few hours, but it ALWAYS only answers one of many questions I ask.
Anyway - end of rant -- anyone else having similar experiences with MT?

i was just swearing at it my self - at least 3 different servers have gone done - all of them i'm currently doing work! fuckas.

it seems to be down now, or at least part of it.
also, i have been getting mysql errors now, which i didnt before, related to 'too many connections'.
so, i think that it needs to time to mature.

yeah i've been disappointed since the migration, seems like one thing after the other

Friggin tell me about it - this mysql connections issue has been open for weeks. Lately the status seems to be "We've fixed and monitoring progress". Feels like a bandaid fix because it keeps coming back. All I know is if I had a site that was a part of my income, I'd have lost a good portion of my income this past month.

seems down today, but until today (barring the firmware problem they had) i have been more happy with the grid than my dv
i just need my site up now if they don't mind

yeh - grid server is better - but we've done about 25 sql based sites over the years with them and we have to go through them all, changine passwords, emails, paths... lost 2 days of time as we can't exactly charge the client for it. Cunts i say. Angry.

looks like they got it worked out

I'm just curious why some of you say "The grid server is better". Perhaps you mean from the perspective of the new software they installed on it - extra control panel features? Those are things that could have been implemented on the old servers... as far as server performance and reliability goes I have had a much much worse experience with the GS.

well
for me, it is easier to setup some things i want...i have mysql 4 without having to manually upgrade it on my dv...i have rails running with mongrel without having to install it myself...
i was either going to reinstall the OS on a dv or move to the grid
and when it works, it is faster than my old server used to be
and it's about 1/5 the price i was paying for more space, more bandwidth, and better performance
for me, the grid is better

I was googling around for php's max_execution_time setting the other day and noticed gs users saying you have access to edit yr own php.ini file - does anyone know if this is true?
- mightyj0
i'd be curious about this as well especially for uploading large database backups since it times out so quickly.
- myobie0
yeah, you get a php.ini file
i had to edit it yesterday
you also can use either php 4 or 5 on a per file basis
but i loath php these days...ruby has me spoilt
- mightyj0
where do you find that php.ini file I can't seem to locate it on th server?

Does this mean you guys will all support my idea to print t-shirts that say things like "My webiste is hosted with Mediatemple"
or
"Mediatemple means I'm better than you."
:)
think they'd sue us?
- CockDiesel0
tell me about it !!! my site goes down all the time because I never pay my bill ... I mean come on !! those guys have no clue what their doing ..hunk of junk
:)
- v3nt0
fucking down again.
- UndoUndo0
well its great you can control yr own php.ini (is this for anyone using gs - we are thining of moving from SS)
but I am going to wait until these troubles are over!
