Scheduled Site Downtime - Evening 6-18-2007

[Bob Hubbard]

In order to try to resolve certain ongoing issues, our techs will be doing an intense diagnostic on our webserver. This should start at about midnight tonight (Eastern Standard Time), and last for several hours.

I will be closing the site while they do this to avoid any chance of further database corruption.

I will reopen the site as soon as I can.

Estimated Downtime will be 2-12 hours.


Sites Effected are:
cmatalk.com
jmatalk.com
kmatalk.com
martialtalk.com
remypresas.com
swordartstalk.com


We apologize for this inconvenience.

So KenpoTalk is not included on the list?? Does that mean I can hang out over there while MartialTalk is down?

Bob,

I don't know if it helps your troubleshooting, maybe it has been reported by others, but I got the following error just a few minutes ago trying to open a thread:

vBulletin datastore error caused by one or more of the following:
You may have uploaded vBulletin 3.6 files without also running the vBulletin upgrade script. If you have not run the upgrade script, do so now.
The datastore cache may have been corrupted. Run Rebuild Bitfields from tools.php, which you can upload from the do_not_upload folder of the vBulletin package.

Fatal error: vBulletin datastore cache incomplete or corrupt in /includes/init.php on line 213

Got the same message when I tried posting a comment a moment ago. I thought for a moment there the server went down early...

That's one of 2 we're trying to kill.

I'll be taking the site offline shortly.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

ok, 9 hours later and..... nothing.

Waiting to hear from a few more people, then we'll have to do this again.
