5 hour outage
« on: August 22, 2010, 09:43:38 pm »
The website was down for ~5 hours today due to a power outage here at my place :(  Not much redundancy in the ole server running in the basement  :na_na:  Anyhow, we're back online now.

Ah - I was wondering what happened.  Had some serious winds that knocked the power out?

The SS looks like it could kick your ass, the WS6 looks like it's coming over to do it!

Website was down again (not sure how long) due to a full disk drive.

After the reboot from the power outage, the hard drive that I use to backup the site / forum on to didnt mount, so my backup scripts filled up the hard drive the site is on - which breaks mysql (the database) and apache (the web server).

All fixed up now - I'll work on this so its not an issue in the future :(   I'll also get some monitoring in place so that I know when the site goes down.  I can fix it quickly when I know its down, but this time I didnt know it was...


Edit:  Looks like we were down from 01:19 until 13:11 today :(
