Just Shoot Me !!!!!!
Hard Drive Crash on Friday
My hosting service notified me around noon today that my dedicated server
hosting the linky tools images crashed and burned, total drive
failure... OH JOY! (I have three servers 1: the site 2: the database
3: the images).
Don't worry... no images were lost. That is what backups are for.
It’s the worst kind of nightmare for a website owner because 1) I cannot control
it, but the reality is 2) hardware crashes… like a car crash, it just happens
sometimes and you just have to deal with it the best you can. I will say I’ve been blessed: this is the
first web server hard drive crash I’ve ever had.
Trust me, I’m stressed out of my eyeballs trying to get things back up as fast
as possible. I’m very sorry...
As of Saturday, 4.17pm: From
my latest update from my hosting service, I should be back online sometime this
weekend. A new drive and all the content has been restored but something in the
configuration is not allowing the site to connect to the database server (#2
server). So close, but yet so far. I'm one "click" away from having it back up
but it's not something I have access to (its equipment related). THE IMAGES ARE
SHOWING ON YOUR LISTS. THE PART THAT IS NOT YET BACK ONLINE IS THE ABILITY TO
ADD ENTRIES TO A THUMBNAIL LINKY.
