mu.nu - It's mackerel stewed in chocolate!

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.
