UK ClubVR4 is currently down

[Guest]

Apologies for using this forum, but it might help spread the word!

We've had a glitch over at CVR4 that has bought the site down. We've worked out what the problem is (a missing database table) but we can't establish WHY this has happened.

Anyway, we're working on it but it looks like we'll need to restore the table from an offline backup file, so it could be offline for a while at the moment.

I'll advise when the situation is resolved.

Does this make us refugees rather than visitors now then?

No, it makes you ginger.

Have you fixed it yet?

Nah, still broke. Nothing more I can do. I know what the problem is but I don't have access to a backup so I'm waiting on either the hosting company to sort us out or for Kenneth to come online.

 

[bradc]

Hmmm, i have Kenneth's mobile number....in a PM on cvr4.

Can't help there sorry!

there must be loads of uk members doing things they never do normally, like talking to the wife. or watching big brother, any ways the Ozzie girl just got voted off

If Kieran hasn't cleaned up the thread have a look in Millers post about the Delica when we get back online.

 

[bradc]

Well, I guess it brings up a good point about having clubvr4 and ozvr4 separate

Okay, I've managed to regain access to the forum engine and I've got a placeholder in so that people have some idea what's going on.

The solution is really simple - We just need to restore an SQL table from one of our backups. Problem is, the FTP server keeps rejecting Ken and my attempts to log on - So we're kinda stuck.. I don't really fancy re-creating 5000+ user accounts manually on the back end!

Still no nearer WHY this happened either. One moment this table was there, next moment, pop!

As for the Miller/Pitslayer thing.... Don't get me started!!

Okay, I think we could be offline for a few days.... Not because the problem's that big, we just can't log on to the backup server. This wouldn't normally be a problem however the server is at Wayne's house, and he's still on honeymoon! (argh, talk about sod's law!!).

Fortunately, Pete is apparently back in the next 48 hours - He might have better luck than either me or Ken. Fingers crossed people!

K I'd be looking at a HDD write error, possibly caused by a faulty HDD, controller, cable or even RAM. If its hardware related it should be relatively simple to track down in Event Manager though.

Good luck getting in to the system - you know if the site isn't actually that big, maybe you should have an automated backup to a remote location? You know, just in case something like this ever happens again?

wheres Barry when you need him. good luck guys hope we get back soon
