Back Online
Posted in OAImages News by John E. Pannell on August 24th, 2007 at 5:44 pm I woke up on Thursday and saw a message from a friend of mine that he was having trouble accessing this blog. It seems the MySQL server that powers this and a few other things on the site had gone down. That happens a few times, and a stop and restart usually solves the problem. I did that and all appeared fine.
Thursday night I saw the blog was down again, for the same reason. This time not all went so smoothly and the MySQL server was completely shut down. I couldn’t get it back up, so I contacted my collocation folks for help.
They were able to get things up again and in the process upgraded the MySQL server — it was *badly* out of date — to a more recent one. All appears fine now and I apologize if anyone was inconvenienced by this.
The good side of all this is I should be able to upgrade to a more recent version of WordPress now. I’ll probably do that over the weekend. If all goes well no one notices when it happens!
Other than that it’s been a very quiet week here.
