Site Hickup
Saturday, January 12, 2008 18:07 | 184 viewsSome of you might have had some issues with this site earlier. It was the MySQL security update that was supposed to take just 3 minutes. There was a little problem after rebooting, but now as you can see, it working again.
Dear MacBros,
We are glad to inform you that our MySQL database connectivity has been fully restored. All database-reliant web pages and files are now working well.
As you read from our previous advisory, we applied security patches and did a server reboot last night. After such, we encountered unexpected connectivity issue with our MySQL server in a high severity.
The time we spent during the restoration process included a major revamp with our MySQL server configuration. We have applied load balancing as our permanent solution for this issue. With it, should our primary MySQL server fails again, site operations will not be interrupted as the secondary MySQL server automatically takes care of the database operations.
Please note that all your data and files are backed-up, safeguarded and remained intact after recovery.
If you ever encounter problems with your website that are non-existent before, please write to this e-mail address@nospamsoforget it.com
We are very grateful for your forbearance and understanding.

Now that’s the kind of thing that you want – immediate or near immediate news. The down time sucks, but it had a good reason and they even warned you ahead of time. It also sounds like they have done some thinking and created a redundant system that should keep the sites up all the time, or close to that. Site’s fast, too.

Yes. Nice and fast.
I’ll have another post on this topic for when I get home from work. No time right now because I have to go to hell err work I mean.
