Site Downtime

Well, after days of banging my head against the keyboard, I've finally managed to isolate the database issues and solve them with minimal data loss. For those wondering, the overall outage was caused by a power disconnect that somehow locked out and corrupted many of the databases.

What was lost? Any threads that were created in the ten days before the outage. I was able to restore most of the data, but lost the thread table, and had to restore that from a site backup, the last one having been unfortunately ten days ago.

What are we doing about it? StonedStoopid and myself are currently putting together cron tasks to run on the server that will backup the databases every 2 or 3 days. When I wake up that is. I've been going around the clock and it's finally time for me to lay down and die. See you in a day or so... my bed is calling for me.

Thanks for your hard work, nice to see the site back up so soon after the crash !!!

Greetz,
Devourer

Now ye really need to fix the dns!

Well, the important (i hate that word) thing is that the site is up.. but you should send a e-mail notification for those who dont go to mIRC cause www.wc3campaigns.com/forums isn´t working

Nannaki the forums are working fine. Try clearing your cache, or restting your pc. And Kerry the dns has been fixed for 2 days now.

That depends on what time perspective you have ;)

WTF????!?!?!?!??! The last crash, yuo said you would do that every three day back up thing!!

You've finally fixed it Good Job DraX.

my bed calls to me a lot emote_sweat , why is warcraft modding so addictive, even though i never release any of my 'creations' but yay for it being back up:ggani: , i was sick of my home page being an error screen:ggani:
