While working on the mySQL database for some issue, we somehow get the database corrupted for some reason and to ensure the full integrity of the database that we have, we have decide to revert to previous backup which is about a day old. In the process, I can see that Ming Yang that has gained ALPHA status has been downgraded to Veteran again. So Ming Yang, I can only say sorry and you will have to work again to recover the few post you lost in the process that made you an ALPHA.
In addition to the above, we will be performing some upgrade process possibly over the weekend, middle of the night and improve overall performance. We know that traffic to this site has been tremendous and we have set aside additional budget for such upgrade. Rest be assured that we are working hard to make this place for many who call this place home.
Whew! It came as a shock when the dreaded "internal system error" message came up this morning. Thank goodness for backups! Great work webmaster! A few lost postings seems a small price to pay compared to a total system failure...
Well we saw a record 160 people online at the same time yesterday and this is putting a lot of stress on the server as well as a lot of pressure on us to upgrade the server box. We believe that a lot of users has experience extreme slow respond time at peak hour (8:30am - 11am, 3pm - 6PM and 10pm - 1:00am). We are aware that having slow respond time is very frustrating but we are trying our best to make the best out of our resoruces.
We expect to move the database out of the box and have another box serving the database by itself. This should improve overall performance. That should take place in the near future.
Nevertheless, we are looking at some minor improvement ( if possible ) over the coming week to cope with the short term needs.
Ohhh no wonder....i thought i had gone bonkers when i didn't see the posts i saw yesterday....thought really gone auntie eyes liao....wow 160 ppl online at the same time....impressive!
No worries Mr. Khoo...can understand when there is failure all you wished for is thaty you can attend to it,.but that is how IT goes..unless u are running it on 24X7. All the best in managing this website..we all love it..
160 people on line? Wowee...like Gina says..Impressive! So any new users that registered during this time would be lost as well? Shame..but's that's life I suppose. Maybe you can post something to this effect for those who have registered and suddenly found they are not recongised!
OH, Yes, there were about 15 new more members signed up during that time. Fixing of the corrupted database take times and instead of letting the site off line for too long, I chose the easy way out by reverting the the 1 day old backup.
Yes, those who found their registration not workable are advice to re-register again.
Does this means that what ever post that was posted during that time is lost? No wonder lar, i thought my pc really really down d and cannot update it self ~Cherio~ Penang Lang? Click Here~! Silkies Owner? Click Here~!
yesterday me so hard working, posted so much, but ended up MIA....hai........bad timing.
