- Subeta

On Wednesday morning at ~3AM Subeta time, we will be taking the site down to copy the database from our primary database server to the secondary database server.

When we had downtime the other day (MySQL errors) the two database servers lost their connection and stopped transmitting information to each other. :(

So, we'll be taking the site down to update the secondary database with an up to date database. :D

So, is this a guessing game after all? Has the site gone down yet or not???? Will it still be going down and at any given moment??? This is just ridiculous!!

That squirrel made me remember a certain topic about dead squirrels and G.I. Joe a while back while Dr. NEDIA was in. Oh good times, good times.

Would really appreciate being given some idea as to how long the site will be down tomorrow - the past few times this has happened we have at least been informed as to an approximate downtime and all of us have appreciated that.

Just wondering if we know of a possible time-frame as to when subeta would be back up? Just so I don't come back online constantly to check to see if it's back up <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> Knowing it will take for example 4-6 hours would let us know that we needn't bother checking back till that time had passed.

silly databases, having little squalls like that. Now, you just take them down and teach them how to play nice with each other.

SkyWolfAlpha @

=( Maybe the databases need to go into therapy because they seem to have communication issues...

Keith: There was at least one clock that was about 10 seconds off from the others just less than an hour ago. It looks like it may not be acting wacky now, though. Did something just get fixed?

YeranceK @

Ok thanks for letting us know <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Hey is there anyway to stick to one place either .ws or .net? Im soo tired of getting in the middle of something and it changed to the other one and I have to login and then it messes everything up <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> |Would MUCH rather 1 site. Just my opinion <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

AeriaLure @ STAFF

nevermind. I read that wrong, I thought you meant .net had lost connection with .ws.. however that would work -lulz- xD;

0

DaBluMeanie @

Will you be fixing the clock synchronization problems while you have the site down?

0

AeriaLure @ STAFF

Does that mean there'll be a rollback? Or will you update so that both sites have the most recent info?
