Quick Update -

The hosting provider said the restore is still in process due to the overall size. I'm working with them to try and restore the missing post from the last 48hrs... still working on it.

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. Let me know if you see any issues etc.

 

Thanks, really hate that it went down. I'm still working on testing different things on the restore.

Metalman - what type of error did you get?

 

Ok - looks like I see the error.. error 500. I will have to look into that one. I'm still working on the restore, but that wasn't happening yesterday. I wonder if this is because I posted this in the middle of the restore.

I'll start a "Test" thread and also check others to see if the "500" errors are happening.

 

Does this response work, was getting error 500 on the other responses I did on this thread.

 

OK - this is odd. When you post you get an error 500.. then later the post show up. Working with URLJet on it.

 

All - still having backend DB issues. Working on tracking them.. sorry for the up and down.

 

Quick update - yesterday I did a partial restoration hoping I would be able to recover post. At this point, it looks like we will need to do a full restore. (this post will get lost in the process).. but for those who are online, wanted you to know its going to start happening soon.. Again I will try to recover the post and once back up.

 

OK - so gallery is mostly back up... by that I mean the main page, calendar etc. When you click on the profile, doesn't show anything. Still working on that and root cause. :fingerscrossed:

 

Metalman -

Thank you, I appreciate the update. I had all of it working last night around 2am except the "Profiles." when launched from the gallery page. Somehow in 8 hours we are now seeing this come back. I'm working with URLjet and Nathan to continue to figure out root cause. Ultimately something is deleting the files, I believe its either a corrupt script or a SQL injection (Its my understanding from Nathan, that is what happened a few years ago that created this). Finding that is like finding a needle in a haystack.. but I'm working on this.

Again - sorry this is happening, but I will get it figured out. Let me know if you are seeing other issues. I'm also walking through different functionality and logs to find issues.

 

All -

Quick update and follow up to Metalman's post. When you post you will get an error 500. If you then go back to motoringalliance.com you will see it actually posted. I'm working through that error, but at least it does appear the post does happen. I'm working through this and hope to have it resolved today if possible.

 

All -

Still working through this. With the different restores etc, we are finding mis-matched files etc. While I do not think that is root cause, I do think it is what is causing some of the issues you are currently seeing. Still a work in progress.
