After what must have been 2-3 hours for the DB update. Seemed like an eternity ;-)

Just three :) It is easy to find other stuff to do.

anon-e-mouse,

there is still the error "XML error: mismatched tag at line 89" in the hostingcatalog.com section to the right.

Besides, right now www.hostingcatalog.com is also maintained ;-)

Best regards

I saw it for a sec, now it is fixed :) Prohacker is working still, tidying things up :)

Other stuff? :eek2: :eek3:

Everything should be back up now. WHT is running on completely new hardware and a new version of MySQL. The upgrade would have taken about 30 minutes less if my home router hadn't died in the middle of moving files. :(

Just a quick run down on the new hardware for the people that want to know :)
Dual AMD Opteron 270/8gb RAM/4 x 73gb U320 15k RPM RAID10

3 hours for a 30 minute job?

Now I see why they call you the ProSlacker :)

BTW--Where does my lawyer send the lawsuit I'm filing on WHT for causing me boredom :D

To be honest. It was the longest 3 hours of my day...

We're getting renovations and half the things around the house bore me at this hour of the day!

Good thing its back online

And now:

There seems to have been a problem with the database.

My router died again while I was fixing replication :) So the slave server that hosts search was down for several more minutes.

Just to correct my above statement, the job should have taken about two and a half hours instead of three hours. I spent thrity minutes trying to get back online. :)

Well everything looks great, IOwait has dropped less than 1%, we have 6gb of free memory and the load is sitting at 0.20. I'm going to bed :)

3 hours for a 30 minute job?
Good to see the computer chair experts are out in force ;)

I'm going to bed :)
Better take the pager with you :P

Thanks for your After Hours time :beer:

Sorry, there are no new threads to view.

I've been getting this numerous times today. I've tried to to mark all forums read several times too, but to no avail. Related perhaps, Mat?

MySQL replication broke shortly after the site came back online. I was paged just after 7am that replication was down. By that time it was too late to shut the site back down to fix replication.

I will be shutting the site down again tonight for a much shorter outage to bring replication back in sync.

Search still works, it just isn't being updated at this very moment.

What an huge difference. Good job. If you dont mind me asking, how large is the database? that above dont seem like much space.

Yes would like to learn db size too :)
configuration is like a monster.

This new server is like night and day compared to our old one :)

dBforums is 15gb
WHT is 9gb

Then there is several other databases for DeletedDomains that is 40ish, etc. We have around 70gb total of MySQL stored data on that server.

How about those similar threads and active users browsing thread options? ;)

Much better peformance, atleast from my end :) Good job!

WHT seems to be loading much faster now for me when loading new threads. Glad the upgrade was done :)

Its alot faster, however occasionally it hangs for about 10 seconds.

Once again its back.

Just enough time to do a load of washing and hang it out :)

Did you upgrade to MySQL 5? I have been seeing a lot of large vBulletin forums do so (SA and I think Steam Powered) over the past few months, and have heard that it is much more efficient and powerful than MySQL 4.

As in actual clothes-line "outdoors" to dry with the fresh air?
Ahhhhhhhh.....memories, I miss those days!! :D

I don't think I have seen a home/apartment without a clothesline "out the back". :cool:

Translation: WHT is running on 4 Dev Kit XBox 360s powered by 127 gerbils at 160 rpm. Also guys in black suits and ties will be visiting everyone reading this thread to "relocate" them to an area were the info can't be divulged no more! :rofl:
