Recent downtime this afternoon

[Marcel]

Yup, seems the site went down for a short period this evening.

I'm glad to say, we're now back up and running at full speed :thumbs:

We have a fair idea what has caused it, but we don't want to say yet ;)
If there are any glitches, then please just pop them in this thread and I'll look at them as soon as I can.

Thanks for all the MSN messages, IRC guests, and SMS messages too, letting me know it was poorly. It's much appreciated, and it's nice to know so many people care :thumbs:

If you visited another forum while we were down, please line up this way for a good spanking.......You first minimeeze.

:)

[Marcel]

I'd also like to offer a big thanks to Tim, the monkey tickler at GlobalGold, our hosts. As soon as he was aware, he was on it like dellipher on a smutty thread :thumbs:

[Grendel]

Thank goodness the site's back! :) I had Hypnotic on the phone in a right old state :help: He didn't know what to do with himself. I gave him a couple of suggestions though ;) :lol:



Sorry Kev :suspect: :wave:

[Venomator]

And feeling the onset of withdrawal symptoms I very nearly got tempted by Pickled O ... :suspect:

[Grendel]

ROG! Go wash your mount out with some very green mouthwash-a-lo!

[hypnotic]

I had Hypnotic on the phone in a right old state :help: He didn't know what to do with himself. I gave him a couple of suggestions though ;) :lol


I did find it easier to warm the custard up a bit first though ... :D

[andy2]

i was a getting worried:bang::annoyed::annoyed:all back now:woot:

[Duckydoodle]

Yea TP's back. Got problems posting though. But yea TP's back :lol:.

[HanC]

The lack of TP this afternoon seriously damaged my work ability!! I was far too busy checking every so often for progress!!

Don't let it happen again ;):p

[InaGlo]

Thank god it's back :woot: I thought for one horrible moment I was going to have to get a life:eek:

Yeah, me too ... nah ... that'll never happen! :D

[Techno-Geek]

What happened Marcel?

I was like getting worried that you all packed up and left :( :D

Tony :thumbs:

[wez130]

for a moment, i thought MattyH had broke it when he broke his lens

[Joe©]

when uploading i get an error message 127?

[Marcel]

hehe.

There are a couple of things Im still tinkering with, the main one being the gallery upload (I know exactly what's causing it, just want to check something before I flick a switch to stop it).

Any other problems?

[Galaxy66]

When I click on my forums tab for TP I get this,

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Fedora) Server at 195.177.193.138 Port 80

But clicking on the tab for classifieds is ok.

[marky_h]

The last couple of days, I've had to log in almost every time I've fired up TP. I figured it was a Firefox/cookie problem, but mebbe not?

[IanC_UK]

Does this link work for you Galaxy66 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/ ?

[BRASH]

The picture on my signature has disapeared. Has this anything to do with the promlems today? I ain't tried to fix it yet til I hear from you. Cheers.

[poacher]

Every time I click on home I get this

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/

[Galaxy66]

Yep that's fine Ian I will just change the tab for that one :thumbs:

[matty]

if you have anything hosted in the gallery and linkin back to your sigs etc then you may need to redo your sig...and before anyone says it, it wasnt me!

[Marcel]

Ahh I think you *were* using the IP address Galaxy, that's not running at the moment (browsing via IP address).

Best to use the domain name anyway, that way if anything changes, you wont get interrupted service.

[Marcel]

You shouldnt need to do anything! Dont change anything, lemme go look :)

[purpleclouds]

Maybe my wireless hasnt been playing up then! :p

[Marcel]

Brash, your signature's now sorted. It was linked from the IP address.

This is the main thing that's going to cause upsets at the moment (besides the uploading issue).

Make sure all links and bookmarks are www.talkphotography.co.uk, not http://195.177.193.138/

I still can`t get to the home page even through your links marcel.

All is well got to the home page now......................

[Duckydoodle]

I got as far as the message saying preparing to upload images and then it came..........error message 127 :bang:

[Marcel]

Image uploading isn't possible at the moment, there's a limit in the server configuration until I flick the switch...please bear with me :D

[Cobra]

This is what I get from the shortcut I have been using since the recent switch over

http://195.177.193.138/


But Ian C Put me straight :thumbs:

That`s what I was getting.

[Fionab]

im still getting that when i click on the link in my favourites, but i can get on when i go thru FF

[OutLore]

Not a problem as such, but now when I click on "new posts" I get 250 posts, before I only got 150....

So that's a good thing!! Now all you need to do is change that to say, 1000 and I am all good.... (Sometimes I don't get to access the site for a couple of days)

[Marcel]

Yup, that was changed recently :)

[Techno-Geek]

Glad the ye ol forumscee is back :lol:

Has someone cut down the Hamsters food rations?!

[Huss1100]

Everything is working for me again, I have just uploaded some photo's.

[marky_h]

Down for 10 minutes just now again - related issue?

[AMP]

picture upload does not seem to be working yet...?

yesterday I got an error uploading, today I got an error creating the thumbnail...

[Marcel]

It should have been working. It was yesterday (the uploading). I'll go check now.

[Marcel]

Nope, just uploaded a shot

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=31365

Seems to be working fine?

As for last nights dropouts, I'm not sure what caused those. I'll see if there's anything untoward in the logs.

[Techno-Geek]

Just uploaded a image to see if mine work it worked alright :thumbs:

[yourapocalypse]

your DNS '@' A record is wrong, you've only got the 'www' configured.

ie. http://www.talkphotography.co.uk works, but http://talkphotography.co.uk does not.
