Site Down

[BraindG]

Guys,

Sorry about the site being down all day.

We had some problems this morning, which were related to upgrades that took place over the weekend, and running out of diskspace - a few tmp files took up over a gb of space, so each time the hosting company sorted "it" out, and someone posted the site would crash again cos it couldn`t find the disk space.

I managed to get on at about 1pm, deleted these files but ever since ive been blocked from the site!.. hence the message you were seeing all day.

I thought It was the site, untill i received an update in my ticket stating they were gonna check the firewall for my IP incase it had been blocked.. right enough from a proxy server I "could" access the site, but do nothing..

Anyways, im still barred from my house, so ive connected to Wouters machine remotely (cheers mate) to open up the site again.
Hopefully ill get access again soon, and sort out the problems i wanted to do in the first place!! Some of the database tables are "corrupt" so expect some errors from time to time....

Sorry for the inconvenience
Barry

so there was a GOOD reason for the site being down

[ANTHONY]

its speeding up a bit for me now, perhaps just caching system was catching up.

Please excuse me while i go TOTALLY MENTAL!

[BraindG]

Right, Grrrrrr....

Sorry guys, but the site will more than likely continue to go up and down for a while - they are working on a solution to stop the /tmp folder filing up and crashing site. No ETA, no updates actually since an hour ago.. but ill keep perssure on..

Had a half arsed moan the the MD too

Bear with me.
