mu.nu - We're sorry we accidentally destroyed your panties.

June 03, 2006

Splat

Sorry about the explosions, fires, earthquakes and other catastrophes today.

Yuri, the server that runs most of the blogs, got hit by a denial-of-service attack.

After disconnecting the server from the internet (if I left it connected, it would crash), I started copying all the blogs across to Kei, the other server.

Then Kei ran into a spot of disk trouble, and it crashed too.

If you're reading this, it's a sign that things are almost back to normal. Except that the entire load of mu.nu is now sitting on one server rather than two. So I have to pry everything loose again somehow, hopefully without eight hours of downtime this time around.

Update: All blogs have been moved and should be working now. I need to activate Fluffy, and I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of other things. If you run into problems, leave comments here, or email me at andrew -at- pixymisa -dot- net, or both.

1 ... the blog is back up... but when I go to blog.mu.nu to post, it gives me an error and the page doesn't load...

2 Whoops! I had the cgi file bookmarked, so I didn't notice that.

Fixed now.

3 Just sent you an email about my blog still being down. Thanks for all your hard work Pixy!

4 Sorry Teresa! There must have been a hiccup when CPanel was transferring your account. Should be fixed now.

5 Don't want to be a bother, but my blog still seems to be splated.

I promise to behave (as much as possible) if'n you'll get it back up and going.

6 Sorry Phin! You should be up and running again now - though the DNS changes may take a while to propogate.
