Couldn't save referer info. Omphaloskepsis: Yesterday's outage

February 04, 2005, 15:20Yesterday's outage

Thursday, between 1:52pm and 8:26pm CT, the Psi Phi website was unavailable. Initially, it was thought that the machine had been taken off-line to install a second hard drive to do a complete backup onto (previously, tape backups were performed), but as it turns out, there had been a miscommunication, and instead of installing a second hard drive, the new drive was installed as a replacement drive. Thus, with no data on the drive, the site was unavailable. This also affected the comicboards.com discussion areas, since they are on the same machine.

Fortunately, everything was resolved with no loss of data, just loss of time.

It occurs to me that a good way to inaugurate my DVD writer would be with a complete backup of the Psi Phi website. I think I'll see to this tonight.
