Sorry about that downtime

[Joe Blow]

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the downtime.

My host is playing silly buggers with me this evening.

Everything looks to be getting back to normal now.

Were you aware that DNS for aussiestockforums.com was broken at about 13:00 today? Using my internode name servers returned unknown host.... swapping to a british server fixed the problem.

Hi Bowser,

No I wasn't aware of that. My host has recently moved datacenters and they have been having all kinds of issues as a result. It looks like things are slowly beginning to settle down now though. I am hoping that the worst of it is now over.

Sorry for the downtime ladies and gentlemen!

The site seems to have been down for hours and I am waiting to hear from the host to find out what the problem was.

Needless to say I am not happy about it and I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused!

Looked like the hosts SQL database died. Was a sad morning at work.

I have been up all night trading the forex and because ASF was dead had to spend my down-time at forexfactory...

It is good to be back.

Now it's time for bed, in preparation to earn money the old fashioned way, at work!

I get to work early to miss the traffic and just surf the net, have breakfast, and one of my fav sites was down. Had to use alternatives :.

 

[Prospector]

Our ISP and server at work are still down - Adam and Internode all out throughout Adelaide. Had to come home to get access through another provider.

 

[Joe Blow]

Ooooops!

Sorry about that everyone. Not quite sure what happened but it was right after I walked away from the computer for a few hours.

Waiting to hear from the host about what caused the downtime.

C'mon Joe, you tripped on the power cord didnt you!

I wish I had. At least then I would have known what the problem was!

 

[MrBurns]

Dont forget - backup always backup. your host should be able to restore the site and the database if it gets lost...

 

[Joe Blow]

No downtime but due to some upgrading of various applications on the ASF server it appears that my emails were not coming through or being sent from around 2pm yesterday afternoon until a couple of hours ago, so if anyone has contacted me via email during that period of time and not received a response feel free to contact me again.
