Harry Posted September 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2007 My webhost had the genius idea to enable a feature on the server that I already had enabled in the forum software and by doing that it sent the whole site into a vegetative state. I was in and out of my house this weekend so I had little time to try and resolve it. The site was up the whole time but it would not display on IE6-7, Firefox & Opera. Only mobile phone browsers were able to view the website during that time. Also, I noticed some of you were able to view the site during that time for some reason. End rant...:mad: Sorry for the inconvenience guys I apologize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they pull this shit again without letting me know anything one more time I'll be taking my money and the site to another webhost. Excuse my language Jack I'm just pissed off about it.

DHayward Posted September 16, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 16, 2007 I almost went into shock without the forums! Glad to have it back on though..

Harry Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted September 16, 2007 I almost went into shock without the forums! Glad to have it back on though.. Harry, I think you should talk to someone about this. Whats this, the second time its happened? Actually this is the first time this particular issue has occured. They should have sent me an e-mail warning me that they were making critical changes to the server. If they would have all this could have been avoided. Like I said in the earlier post, the site was still up and running but just not viewable. The last down time was an sql error on the mysql database server which pretty much happens with all webhosts. With some webhosts it's more frequent than others. I've spoken to other forum administrators and they confirmed that this always happens from time to time. They told me not to worry too much about database errors. My current webhost is pretty good with avoiding database errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
