NBA system error to display internal server name

Submitted by jli on Sun, 2007-12-16 02:03

I am a fan of nba and check out the score at http://www.nba.com from time to time. I am always amazed by the flashy tech used at the site and impressed with their performance even under the huge load just you can imagine. But today it's different. The home page looks normal but there is connection error when I click the game detail link. Here is the screen shots.

In the second capture, you can see the server's name is linuxpub1e. Most likely, there is some change control issue for their IT operation management as I know it's the normal change window for most of the IT organiztions. So hopefully they can get notified and recoverd soon.

BTW, it is a linux box if the server name is not disguised. Yeah, Linux world just get proved how great performance it can deliever, AGAIN.

There was some upgrade to the site.

On that Sunday afternoon, I checked back the site but the problem was still there. Supervise! But it recovered on Monday when I checked again. This time it took me into slightly different layout and the real-time court score was moved into a new window when clicked on the link. Obviously there was some change/upgrade going for the past weekend. And BTW, I got faster response time. Hope it's not because there are less viewers. :-)
