Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Yep. The database that supports FISD fell down and went boom last night. I couldn't fix it myself so I opened a ticket with our hosting provider this morning. They pulled a few levers from behind the curtain and the site is back. I'll be doing an extra site backup today just to make sure. During the break I hope you enjoyed either A ) Other legion related forums B ) real life -Eric 6 Quote

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) The fun part about real life is being able to be a part of this forum. I had 5 PM's to answer, new projects to start, Tutorials to work on and products to pick up at the post, as well as prepare to send. in some way the FISD is actually a major part of my life. really! I'm sure glad that we have a good backup! perhaps we should consider a monthly backup schedule? a cron job perhaps!>? Edited January 8, 2015 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote

Polar Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 its happening again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote
svache[501st] Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 its happening again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'it happened', coz you weren't able to post during the time Anyways, yeah, it did indeed occur again. I was online at the time and it was quite a scary thing to see this time around (it was different from normal as databases were accessible, but shown as completely empty). It happened on most (if not all) of the other detachments hosted in this server as well. It gave me quite the scare, because it kind of looked like a hack had occurred (in addition to the empty database, logs were gone, I was unable to find an online backup etc etc) even more when I noticed one site (not FISD, no worries lol) had been lacking making backups for a while. Anyways, we're back online, Eric was informed as soon as it happened. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 It's times like these I'm glad I'm not the primary webmaster anymore =:-0 Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 We just can't afford the server we need to keep this from happening. Sorry folks. -Eric Quote
Pickles[TK] Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 We just can't afford the server we need to keep this from happening. Sorry folks. -Eric Time for more FISD donations me thinks. 2 Quote
svache[501st] Posted January 29, 2015 Report Posted January 29, 2015 Time for more FISD donations me thinks. Considering there's quite a few detachments on this server, perhaps we should start a donation thing along with the other detachments Quote
