Sites just went down. I’m on it. Watch this space.
Sorry, folks: we’re moving. Our upstream hosts (the geeks who farm the servers) have not been able to fix the rather wonky DNS issues that have been causing roving blackouts to surfers trying to access your sites, and yesterday they pulled the CPanel backup module from my despairing grasp. Can’t do backups… what? Since this [...]
I’m seeing an intermittent problem with accessing our sites through HTTP. I’m tracing the issue, but it looks like a DNS problem. (The server seems fine, the sites are still there, but the signpost looks like it’s out of kilter at times.) I’m on it. Update: This is an odd error seemingly with the Telus [...]
Morning, folks. I’ve got sporadic issues on the server, with http being down in alternating burst of despair from the MySQL services. I’m on it and will update here as I find things out. – Elaine
5:23 pm I’m all over it. Watch this space for updates. 5:44 pm Still working on finding out what’s wrong, and getting on the path to righting it. 6:43pm Haven’t forgotten about y’all. 7:54pm Still on it, still frustrated. 9:05pm Sorry folks, I’m getting nothing from the physical people who run the physical server. It’s [...]
Our server is doing that thing that techs like to call “experiencing downtime”. I’m experiencing annoyance, and passing it right along to the folks who mind the servers like as if they’re little cows in a field. Watch this space.
Our server fainted some time this morning. I became aware of it at 10am, and have been in contact with the folks who manage the hardware. They’re tightening bolts, greasing cogs, and heaving wrenches around as I type. No, wait, that greasing cogs thing was a what machine techs did a century ago. They’re, instead, [...]
I’ve just discovered the outage, and am taking steps to get it kickstarted. Watch this space. Edit, 1:41am: The rebooting is proceeding. Hold your breath! Edit, 1:44am: Hooray! We’re up and running again. Edit, 1:49am: Okay, we’ve got HTTP and POP3 and all, but the database server is still hiccuping. Watch this space… Edit: 2:05am: [...]
Please watch this space for updates, or contact me through this site if you need to! -Elaine Edit: Dec 16, evening The hard drive on the server failed. A new drive has been installed, and backups reinstated. Everything should be up and running now — but please let me know if anything is still awry [...]
The MySQL server’s down for anyone on Abaris server (that’s most folks). I’m on it and will keep you posted here. edit: I just found out that SMTP (mail SENDing from yourdomain.com) seems to be affected as well, which is odd as they’re not in the least connected. I’ll look into that as well. POP3 [...]
