Sorry everyone about the downed site today. My database took a crap. Luckily I have daily rotating backups that are shipped off to a remote server. Unfortunately, the database was junk before this mornings backup, and Wednesday mornings backup was junk too. so I had to restore from a back that was made on Tuesday morning at 1:45am.
So anything that was posted yesterday and the day before is gone. I apologize, but at least it wasnt a week or months worth of stuff that got lost.
The cause of the database getting corrupted was due to the drive on the server being maxed out. I had some log files that were collecting in a folder that I didnt keep an eye on...and it overflowed the drive.....then the backup failed yesterday morning, and again this morning...then the database just died. all with no warning.
I am researching some full blown monitoring solutions that will log historical data of performance of the server this site runs on....more importantly, it will blow my phone up with emails and texts if things go astray so this can be prevented in the future.
