Website Maintenance Tonight - 21st pm/22nd am November

[RacingPete]

I am going to do a rebuild of all the database servers tonight to sort out these intermittent problems, so the site will be unavailable from 12pm to 2am.

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes people.

Bugger, now what do we do when we stagger in from the pub???

[RacingPete]

If you stay down the pub till 2am the site will be back then

Stagger back over the road and order your staff to reopen the bar

Will this sort out the errors I/we keep getting??

[RacingPete]

Fingers crossed... from all the documentation I have been reading there is a bug in our database server version that still isnt fixed in later releases that is causing the errors.

I am going to roll back to an older version that doesnt have the problem and thus should solve the problems.

I sooo hope it does as I am getting sick of these late nights playing server nannie!

Thanks
Keep up the good work

[RacingPete]

All finished.... let me know how people get on with the new version

Hang on, you said 2am, back to work for another hour you slacker

[RacingPete]

I worked twice as quick

My thread had a total of five posts, now, I just noticed it is back to three....two missing, one being mine. This happened after you were down for maint. Are you sure that shutdown fixed everything?

ETA: They all have reappeared some time later....good job and thanks!

Just repeatedly got the usual errors trying to get to My Stuff.

I have seen nothing in the error logs for problems at this time, was it the usual an error has occured and our technical team informed?

Posts last night (US tine) took until this AM to appear.

There is a slight problem with posting between 2:25am and 4:25am (UK time) that I am looking into, was it around then?

Yes, that's the one. Refresh didn't sort it, but when I went back and clicked mystuff again it was OK.

No repeat performances though

That is the timeframe, yes.
