Forum outage 05/07/2016
The forum has been down for a couple of hours due to a database cache file corruption.
I don't know what caused it, and I have only taken the minimal steps to rebuild the cache at this time.
If the problem recurs, I will need to do a more complete cleaning of the database itself, but would rather not do that today.

Re: Forum outage 05/07/2015
Mike, a big thanks for all your hard work on this today, excellent work..
I guess I was very lucky when a similar problem happened yesterday afternoon and I was able to get away with just restarting the daemon!

Re: Forum outage 05/07/2015
I took the forum down again for some more maintenance. I have now 'cleaned' the database data files.
Lets see if it behaves itself.

I have not restored the wiki yet, as I have some other maintenance to do on that tomorrow (or Thursday).

Re: Forum outage 05/07/2016
Wasn't being picky Mike re the 2015 in the thread - just went there to see if there were any issues and initially thought it was an older post until I saw Jim's post dated 5/7/16!xantia_v6 wrote:I have not restored the wiki yet, as I have some other maintenance to do on that tomorrow (or Thursday).

Re: Forum outage 05/07/2016
The server was still having issues this morning, but I think I found a problem relating to a (semi-) automatic software upgrade of the database service that happened last week. I have reverted to the old version of that package, and crossed my fingers.

Re: Forum outage 05/07/2016
Yes, that was the symptom of the database service randomly crashing and restarting itself.
The version that was installed by the software updater last week was definitely wrong, so I hope that it will now be stable again.

Re: Forum outage 05/07/2016
Obviously that database was a final product from the Rover factories, if it could crash by itself. I had that error a few times as well. If you have a Citroen version installed do make sure to leave one small problem in it, otherwise it will get confused with being fully functional and crash anyway.

MySQL is definitey a Citroen database as when it works it is brilliant but when it doesn't it can be a bit or a *********
Luckily the not working time is often very, very small. That differentiates it from a Rover... That's Microsoft SQL Server
