Re: Server Restored
 

Thanks for getting the forum back up quickly!

Out of curiosity, where/how is the website hosted, and what sort of server is it?

Re: Server Restored
 

The server was on SoftLayer's CloudLayer system. There was some data corruption (they say), the server crashed and wouldn't boot back up.

I ended up moving everything over to RackSpace's Cloud Servers, since I'm more familiar with their setup (use them at work and for other projects) and it's a little bit cheaper for the computing power you get, I believe.

We're currently sitting on a cloud server with 15GB RAM and 6 vCPUs.

Same Here! LOL!

So, was there RAID? If there was, what a coincident to have all the disks fail at the same time! I think this culd be partially caused by bad server maintenance! Also, do you use SSH to fix things or do you go to the hosting provider? For me, I do both (Server located in my room!)

And spam is back up again too. Sigh. :( :(

I think the clock is off a bit -- CD sent me the automatic birthday greetings this evening at 7:01 pm local time, and there's a birthday cake next to my name, but it's not until tomorrow the 13th. (And the "Today's Birthdays" list doesn't have my name... yet?) What time zone does the server think it's in???

And thanks, Brandon, for the restoration!

Yep, timezone was set incorrectly (UTC).

Should be fixed now.

This is really a minor detail, but the stats page at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/stats/
is missing past march 2012.

Re: Server Restored
 

Getting closer! Got another b'day email at 8:18 pm. :) (But lost the cake :( ) I like this; can you just keep jiggling the clock every hour or so, so I keep getting these emails?

Re: Server Restored
 

Yeah, that's me just being lazy. :)

Re: Server Restored
 

I literally had to look at my entire life while it was down. SO glad its back!

Re: Server Restored
 

+1

Thank you Brandon!

Re: Server Restored
 

Yeah, also, thank you for giving me some time for homework! I owe you a big one! :D :D :D :D :D

Re: Server Restored
 

Not sure if this was planned/preexisting or not... but a number of the gray box links near CD-Media and CD-Spy have disappeared (like the direct link for UFH--though that might have disappeared earlier and I just didn't notice).

Re: Server Restored
 

Some of them have been gone for a while, as part of the changes mentioned in this thread. I removed UFH last night when I was looking over things -- all of the previous UFH honorees profiles have been moved to their discussion thread in the UFH sub-forum.
