Subject description: PPM lives in death!
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

Welcome back, commander. It would be a sad error in judgement to mistake PPM for a corpse. We are back from the downtime announced yesterday and we have also installed ReCaptcha for big downloads, registering new accounts and guest posting in the forums. So, if you wanna join the forums, you can now do it again. So does the spam bots as well, although these will be hunted to death.

Anyway, we have an 'almost' in the title of this news, because we will have another downtime. But this one will be much quicker. It should happen in a couple of hours after this news is posted. Here's the original words from Phil, network leader from Revora on this next downtime:


Quote:
Hello again,

thankfully, after 12 hours of mild anxiety, it appears the copy operation worked as planned. We’re back up and running without any data loss!
There will be one last scheduled shutdown and short downtime on March 9 at 10:00 am CET to remove the old hard drive and that should be it.

I noticed a few MySQL tables were marked as crashed, probably because our hosted did a hardware shutdown before replacing the drive. I’ve fixed those that I saw in the logs, but if there are more issues, please let me know.

Phil




Anyway, this next downtime won't affect our data. So, if things are working fine now, they'll work on the old hard disk is removed from the server. Once again, sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your patience.

Good that PPM is back online.

Though it worries me, that it's enough to crash one HDD to ruin all main C&C modding forums and lose decades of modding work.
I would have expected a lot more redundancy from a server.

The server itself has a daily backup service. And, despite that, I also do constant backups here just in case...

Right now, I'm using about 67gb of my hard disk for it.
