Loc Server Status

[GRiM]

Well Steve, looks like the server is back up again...... :hocus-pokus:

Woo! Whoo!

There's me thinking it was my fire-wall / cookies <_<

[GCHQAgent]

Big apologies to everyone for that. The dedicated server that hosts LOC died in the early hours of Saturday morning due to a combination of software fault and drive failure.

Thankfully we use a RAID-1 mirroed setup for LOC so we've lost no data and rebuilding the array was relatively simple, the problem was fixing the software fault that rendered the machine unusuable for the past few days.

I'm working with Steve to get a replicated database going on a second server and we should have something in place within a month.

I was on the floor with the doctors shouting "Crash Crash"

At least you used a mirrored the D/B, all you now need is to cluster a few servers

PS - is it me or is the time 1 Hr slow

Thanks for your efforts to get the site back up guys!

It was a close call there Steve,

I nearly sold my car and bought Honda just so I had an owners web site forum to go to.......

:lol:

[Steve]

No Steve Gord trained me in the art of stupid comments just in case the situation arises where Gord is left incapable
