http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us Hi everyone -- sorry if you saw some unexpected errors between 12 and 1pm EST today. We just installed a new load balancer and ran into a hiccup in the log configuration. It's all patched up and everything should be better than normal now. Thanks, Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:57:07 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier Sheesh. And I thought it was all my stupid fault. Fri, 08 Feb 2008 20:22:00 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#112697 Shinji I have been trying to log on for several days now and have had many problems. When I log in and hit the home button it takes me to the home page but as logged out. I finally managed to view the current home page as logged in by using the view all link. If I hit the home link from any page it takes me to logged out home page. I refreshed my cache thinking it may sort the problem but the home link still redirects me to logged out. Just thought you should know. Mon, 11 Feb 2008 08:44:02 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#112903 All fixed here now, but it is running / loading slower than previously. ?? Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:08:21 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#112907 No There are still problems. Still redirected to logged out home page and when I hit a particular discussion you do not see the most recent reply. You have to refresh the page and it appears. Anyway just off to one of the most picturesque parts of S.E England....Canvey Island. Not! Hopefully all back to normal tomorrow.

I have a box in the UK which could help serve the European load Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:39:09 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#112912 Hi guys, sorry for the issues. We had a badly-timed power outage today, and still working on the proxy logging issue that's caused intermittent errors yesterday and today. I'll have time to write more once we've got this sorted -- thanks for your patience... Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:14:17 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#112986 thanks for your hard work keeping us all in the loop. Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:23:14 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#112997 No problem, thanks for bearing with us on this. These errors can be a bit cryptic and discouraging, I know. We're now getting back on top of everything; we're now deploying to a partition with lots of space, DNS is fully up-to-date, and the database's power supply is fixed. We do still have a problem with the deployment routine; when we deploy new code (ie, bug fixes) and restart the servers, they aren't bouncing back as quickly as they should, resulting in about 3 minutes of downtime. I'm hoping we'll have this eliminated shortly and be completely back to normal. If anyone wants to report anything else specific, you can always send a note to support@lightstalkers.org. We do respond to all email. Thanks again, Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:27:54 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#113009 You didn't respond to my stupid email, nor did I expect you to, when simply informing you of problems. Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:33:22 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/unscheduled-downtime-earlier#113012 I emailed this to Shinji earlier, but I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. Basically, if i try and access the site normally, by going to www.lightstalkers.org I arrive at a page saying the system is down for maintenance. However, I can still get in via the back door, as it were, by going to a bookmarked thread or any other LS page. Once there everything works fine except the home page.
