Title: MSG down
Post by: leaf on March 20, 2013, 01:35

MicrostockGroup was down for a couple hours last night (night for me).  It was a database error which is fixed now so we should be up and running again.  I'll check into it more so hopefully this doesn't happen again.

It was day here in Oz, and I was missing MSG! Thanks for getting it up and running pretty quick tho and for the heads up of what happened.

wasn't sure if it was me, or Telstra.... but would you believe in that hour I got over a dozen images edited and uploaded instead? :)

For future reference, is there a place you would post updates if the site is down for a while?  Facebook?  Tweets?

Here is a handy website to check if a website is down for all or just on your connection:

Yeah, I generally post updates on both twitter (https://twitter.com/microstockgroup) and the facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/MicrostockGroup/159372164111296).  This morning I got it fixed right after I found out about the problem so I didn't make any big announcements.  If it would have taken more than a few minutes I would have posted an update.

I'm upgrading the RAM on the server so it will be going down for 15-20 minutes sometime soon.

Ah, twitter and facebook, noted for future reference.  I'm in Australia too and was missing my MSG fix!

Thanks for your work on this.

i think the time reset itself, I've noticed for a week? it seemed out, and I only just checked. Yes, was 5 hours out.
ok, that's my fault, stupidly assuming GMT.
