RYL Outage

James · 14-07-2009, 08:30 PM

Hi Everyone,

This is just a quick post to apologise for the outage of RYL for the last 20 minutes. This was caused by a catastrophic issue with a server network card driver upgrade which took out our internet connectivity. This required a forced reboot of our server to recover from which in turn caused some of the RYL database tables to crash.

I've now repaired the DB damage and am still checking for issues. RYL Chat will come back online in the next 5 minutes or so.

Really sorry for the problems everyone.

Take care,
James

Thanks James. When things like that happen it makes me realise just how much I am attached to the place.

You're all very welcome and sorry for the difficulties. The recent migration to new systems has caused a lot of issues. Things *will* settle down in fullness of time, I assure you :)

Thank you James!

I really appreciate the effort you put into here.

Intaytia · 14-07-2009, 09:00 PM

I'm here to say thanks too James!
Like you Sarah, I thought i'd broke mine too!

Oh and I'd like to quote one_step_closer, but i can't be bothered =]

I started to panic when it wouldn't work lol. Something really weird happened a moment ago though - I was trying to post something earlier, before it wouldn't let me on here, and it wouldnt post but a moment ago on a thread it came up with the message I wanted to post and someone else had posted it. It was really weird.

Im awful at explaining things. I hope that made sense.
