Message from case explaining problems.
:
: Quick update, as I can barely see straight after 20 hours of this...
: We were having some load related server problems over the weekend (Saturday). First it shut down the player database (auto shutdown to prevent any corruption)...Then when that was back online it slowed certain functions down to a crawl.
: In an attempt to correct the problem, I rebooted our player database server. This server hasn't been rebooted for over six months (Gotta love Linux). Anyway, when it came back up all hell broke loose on a couple other machines...
: ...Apparently there had been some upgraded components on a couple machines that were not re-loaded until after the CGI machine came back up. There are some differences which have required some changes in programming and structure. It's insanely complicated...
: I'm sorry that I haven't posted in here while working - it's just with this kind of problem if you take your head out of the book (so to speak) for five minutes you forget your place. Of course I kept thinking I'd have it fixed in 15 more minutes anyway! :)
: And for those wondering, no it didn't have anything to do with Hugo. He was messing around with some other stuff over the last couple days but nothing that caused this.
: Things are running fine right now, but it's 4am...So traffic is very low. I suspect there will be some more things to repair tomorrow when I can see where we are at.
: I don't enjoy spending 90% of my waking minutes over the weekend in front of my computer at home, so trust me I want to get this resolved as much (if not more) as all of you.
: More later...
