maddog107 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 @maddog107 What....happened....? DB corruption and the fact I was super swamped with other things I needed to take care of over the weekend, I could only get an hour or two to work on it per day so I could never resolve the issue Last night I stayed up till 2am and got it working Sorry everyone!

Matt! Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 DB corruption and the fact I was super swamped with other things I needed to take care of over the weekend, I could only get an hour or two to work on it per day so I could never resolve the issue Last night I stayed up till 2am and got it working Sorry everyone! Corruption sounds bad. What was the solution..restoring backups? Thank you for that, I was _almost_ starting to get worried! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using FastServ, at least as per the domain DNS history? I have a much better experience with OVH dedicated servers, faster links, stable service, and of course more cost effective option accounting for all the bandwidth and server speed. If you have any questions we can discuss. On OVH you could have a main, and a backup dedicated server, virtualized (vSphere), with full backups/redundancy and restore with a click of a button (accounting for the proper virtualization backup software). Not advertising OVH here, just offering technical advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I spent too much time trying to isolate the bad table but ultimately just restored it from a previous nightly backup. So we lost ~1days worth of data but not the end of the world I suppose.

Otherwise it would have only been a few hour outage. But thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaruZaru Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Just want to say, that website didn't let me sign in, implying i had wrong pass (which i didn't), then i got e-mail about "login attempts" with which i remade into a new password. Was very weird thing to do. At first i thought my account disappeared, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddog107 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Everyone, I apologize for the site being down for the better part of the week. I had been out of town with limited connectivity. So we ran out of disk space (again) and it caused some DB corruption. Due to some unfortunate timing I had to restore the DB to Dec 21st. I apologize for the inconvenience caused and I will be working next week to add additional storage to the server so these issues will stop.

So, all content between Dec 21 and today is forever lost? Or will that be recovered somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
