MySQL is down at the moment. I've said it before, but this doesn't technically count as down time, although for us, it effectively is.

Jeremy, is this all from the same issue that's been on-going? If so, when will it finally be resolved? If not, quit playing with the server! <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Seems michiganjeepers.com isn't affected by this. Sneaky. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'll save Jeremy some time and post what he told me...<br /><br />[]Rebooting, kernel upgrade. There was an exploit released.[/]

There are many more than 1 server with the company, it is just that a majority of threads users are on the one that is having issues lately. But, as I've told a few others... (which hasn't been a public announcement yet) a few new servers are being setup as we speak, and we're phasing out the older servers some of you are on and moving to dual Xeon servers running Fedora linux. <br /><br />It's becoming too time consuming to keep dealing with the kernel upgrades, cpanel upgrades, etc on the older servers, so we're re-vamping 100%<br /><br />There is also more staff coming aboard in the next week or so, and without mentioning names sine it isn't official, I think you will recgonize the new staff.

Being restored right now. Account and server migrations should begin sometime mid next week.

Total downage now...

MySQL is taking a nap again. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep same <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/angrypc.gif" alt="" />

OK, I am getting a little worried here. My site has been down off and on for the last week, just like others, and it would atleast come up and display the mysql errors and now it can't find the site. Is it a DNS problem now? Am I getting too worked up about this? I know I paid the domain renewal bill a couple weeks ago <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No worries, and I know this is getting a bit uneasy for a few. BUt for those of you on this server, I have told a few people, but some new hardware (servers) have been ordered already, and will be setup and ready to roll sometime this coming week. All accounts on this server will be moved ASAP. <br /><br />These issues appear to be with RedHat 9 and some databases on this server. Occasionally a table will become corrupt, and then when trying to access that table, mysql will spin out of control, occasionally just taking down the mysql service, but other times causing a kernel panic which will even kill some other important services to make the site not accessable at all.<br /><br />I've been working on this for a week and with no matter what kind of configuration, mysql version, etc, I can't seam to find anything that helps. That is why the new servers were ordered, and I'm ditching this box all together. Also, the new hardware will be about triple the machine this one is, so there should also be some nice speed improvements once everyone gets transfered over.<br /><br />Also, I'm bringing on more staff to help. Our own JoshPet will be coming aboard as a co-owner of the company and system admin. We are, and will be putting a lot of money into these upgrades to ensure issues like this do not arise in the future, and with the new servers going in, they are going to be monitored on-site and in the event of any server issues like we have been experiencing, they will be attended to in under 5 minutes! But those problems should be unlikely once the new infastructure is in place.<br /><br />So while I'm still working at trying to stabilize some of the accounts on this problematic server, rest assured by this time next week this server will be out of commission and everyone should be successfully moved to their new home, and Josh should be fully up to speed with the company and helping maintain the servers and answer any questions as well.<br /><br />For those of you who haven't been having any problems and are on my other servers, I guess you are probably wondering what in the heck we're even talking about <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But it's ok.

Thanks Jeremy for the heads up and your commitment to quality customer service. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif" alt="" />

SQL Down again.

It would be nice to know if there is a way to redirect people when there are SQL errors to another html page that would display something other that the SQL errors. It just freaks out the many users.

well you could temp put up a index.html and rename the index.php or just add a redirect to the .html via htaccess.. then on the index.html put a message like <br /> <br />"Boards temporily down sorry for any inconvience. We are working to get it up as soon as possible. Please check back later and get a life ya bum. Who is reading these boards anyways, when they are suppose to be working? You are such a slacker.." <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks but I was hoping for something automatic. that knows when it can't access the SQL databases. Since I never know when it goes down nor when it turns back on. phpadsnew dose this like this... http://ads.fmforums.com
