I instructed them to go ahead with it at about 11am.Well....About 11:30am I get a phone call from them saying the server has not come back up. It had died. I told them to do what they could and a team of engineers were assigned to get it all working.By about 2pm.. I get another phone call. Server is still down and no idea as to the window to fix it and get it working. They were not sure what had died in the server and made the call on building a brand new server and reinstalling EVERYTHING from scratch. Restoring the site data from a backup from the previous evening at about 1:30am. It is now 3:30pm and they are still installing things but thankfully got the server back up last night.Though it is still not 100%.Please expect over the next 24 hours for possibly a reboot and some downtime.For the times that the site is down, or has problems. Instead of emailing please check out the Facebook Page below.http://www.facebook....187207881292153We updated this on a regular basis as soon as something happens to the site.If the site is not working nearly 100% of the time we know this. The moderators, and aftermarket addons we have installed alert us via email and text message to say the site is down.Unfortunately it is not always easy to put a post directly onto this site when we are having issues, so checking out the facebook page should help.Once again apologies for the issues. But we are working on these as we speak. You should find over the next few days the site speed to increase dramatically.. which is exactly what we wanted.Chris Freeman (CJF077)Update: 4:04PM - Have been told it was not a server hardware issue but a software configuration issue that failed. It basically corrupted the data across the RAID configuration (our data is mirrored to two drives in case one dies). However what had happened is that the data across the two drives became corrupted. Site Search and other features not functioning are being worked on as we speak. Edited 17/07/12 06:05 AM by CJF077 Update 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
