Title: Server outage
Post by: Lennart Sorth on October 07, 2016, 09:58:24 pm
The old server finally hit the wall today - I believe its power supply is to blame.
The good news is that we have a replacement server racked and ready next to it, but the bad news is that since the old server was actually working (be it with some performance issues) I have simply not had time to actually setup this new server to be in a state were it could take over production.
Today, after the old server rebooted itself many times, and finally disappeared off the radar, I was then forced to scramble and try to make the new server available. You may have seen my blank "OUPS" message presented by every site on the server)
Anyway, one of the problems I was facing was that all the data on the old server IS backed up, but the backup is with me here privately, which will take a long time to upload ...
LUCKILY, the old server sprung into life some time later, and for now it is actually serving all websites again.
I have started a copy of all data, and will continue working on setting up the new server (I wasn't to use a much better and modern setup compared to the old, so it is not just a direct copy)
Regards - and sorry for the outage !
