Database errors & software upgrade...

Andy R · 24-Oct-05, 04:13 PM

I get emails each time there is an error with the database. There seems to be something wrong with one of the temp files that MySQL uses. I am investigating this matter today.

Towards the end of this week I will be upgrading our site to the latest version of the forum software. After that upgrade our platform will be stable for me to start adding other features like personal fitness journals, workout buddy system, RSS feeds, a better file download system for the premium members, a warning system to keep those who violate the forum policies in check and lots of other little things (inlcuding bug fixes, graphics in signatures, etc)...

So I appologize for any errors you get (mostly in the PM system) and please note that I am working to get them fixed ASAP.

Best regards,

Andy R

Is this why I haven't been able to log into the forum for the last 3 days?

I was about to go through DF withdrawl.

No, I appologize for that. I had the server admins fix some errors with DNS (the thing that makes the name resolve to numbers) and this site was not setup correctly. fortunately we had a member contact me and then I was able to get things fixed.

damn, so you didn't know about it before i e-mailed you this morning, or are you talking about another member?
i was even hesitant to send it because i didn't want to annoy you

Wasn't me - I didn't have your e-mail. Tried to track you or cursor down through v-bulletin, but couldn't.

Rat,

I did not know about it before you contacted me. The issue was I had checked our name at DNS Report and there were a few red errors from DNS not being setup just exactly right. So I contacted the server admin I use and he fixed the issues. In that process I guess he forgoto to make some changes to just this domain. So the other sites were working and DF was down.

We should be in good shape now though. That is a one time things.
