Short downtime

Alexander Turcic · 06-10-2009, 01:54 PM

Apologies for the short downtime you may have experienced when visiting Mobileread in the past thirty minutes. One of our backends died at 12:00 -0400 and we are still investigating what went wrong.

Is the software different? For example, I no longer thet the submenus off the menu bar.

Just tell us how much money you need so that this doesn't happen again........

Not acceptable!!!

Jon, the software hasn't changed. For whatever reason (which I'm trying to find), one backend died and didn't recover automatically (which it normally should). I had to manually restart it.

Your back end died? Poor Mrs. Turcic!

HarryT · 06-10-2009, 02:07 PM

Phew. I was starting to panic

. A whole half hour without MR!

Zelda, don't you guys have a vacation day tomorrow? I think all Germany and half Switzerland is having a day off, so work is rather relaxed right now...

The odd thing is that the wiki stayed online. I have a link to the Sony stuff saved, so when I clicked it, it was still there.

I blame the economy. And aliens. (Green, not Mexican)
