And, we’re back.
I don’t think there was any data loss … let me know if you find anything weird happening by responding to this thread.
I haven’t tuned mysql/apache completely, but will do so before things get too hectic.
Wooooo! Yay for the OP!
Yay! I can waste time at school again!
Congrats on getting the server back up!
Brandon, Thanks.
Thanks Brandon! Glad to have it back up. You realize quickly how much you are on Chief Delphi when you don’t have it.
This is probably a great opportunity to say thanks to you, Brandon. Not only for getting CD back up so promptly, but for all the work you’ve done over the years and continue to do for FIRST, VEX, and the STEM education community as a whole.
Thank you, sir.
Day 3…after the downtime, I believe I have survived the withdrawal…
OP delivered.
Thanks!
At least it was November not January 10th :eek:
Great job!
Thanks to Brandon for your continued hard work with the site. It is truly appreciated!
Thanks for being so quick about it. Love the site.
I survived solely on 610’s facebook posts/youtube videos these past few days.
Thanks for a speedy restoration & all the time you put in!
YAY! THANKS!!!
Great to have the site up and running, thanks for the hard work you put in for the site.
What happened anyways, was it just a server issue? Though thankgod it is back.
Thanks for getting the forum back up quickly!
Out of curiosity, where/how is the website hosted, and what sort of server is it?
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.
