Database Error

[Oberst Hajj]

You are welcome everyone.

What a nightmare this one has been. I'm still amazed at the amount of work you're willing to do, Herr Oberst.

Sometimes I do question it! lol

What is different with the Sails site that it was back up so quickly?

Both sites are on the same server, but use different databases. The Wings database was getting hammered by connections coming out of Hong Kong and a few other countries. The database will only allow so many connections before it maxes out. I put the Wings site into maintenance mode so that I could do some clean up on its config files while I was working on the database issues. I did not need to do that extra step with the Sails site since it is so much smaller.

One would think that software would be immune to rot and decay, but it seems to need maintenance the same as any physical structure. Thanks Keith!

If spammers and hackers would just leave us alone, things probably run smoothly for just about forever.

Thanks Keith, that was quick. Really appreciate it.

Didn't see the announcement right away as I hastily posted my AAR. Seems to have worked ok.

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you put in restoring the site to working order, Keith.

Thanks again Keith for your great work in keeping the site working.
I know all the regulars really appreciate the time you donate to our favourite site.

I get a lot of enjoyment out of this site - thanks for your efforts in maintaining it.

I will drink to that. Thanks in spades for all your efforts.

Yes, very many thanks (and drinks! ) for fixing our favourite playground, Herr Oberst!
