Apology for outage

Post by kaltrip »

The server was unavailable for a period of five hours last night. This was caused by a problem with syncing information over to the backup server failing and hanging the script that actually does the restart. Sorry about this and I hope I've got it sorted now.

Sorry guys. A security update on the forum server knocked out the web server and I didn't notice until a day later... :oops:

Should be fixorized now unless someone tells me different.

Sorry guys, looks like we had another outage. :oops:

This time it was caused by the main game process going into a strange mode where it didn't actually crash (which would have restarted) but instead took up 100% of a processor core. I'll try and get some monitoring in place to do an automatic restart if this happens again.

Thanks to Mr SQL for the tip off via a PM.
