Catastrophic failure
Hi all,
yesterday at around 4pm Sydney Summer time (currently GMT +11), my hosting provider had massive failure on the system hosting my server.
The end result was that they lost everything.
Tom and I had worked together to do daily backups and store them elsewhere, so we're back online now.
I will be slowly working to make sure we get back to where we were.

Re: Catastrophic failure
Thank you for your efforts, just the other day there was a discussion about the last complete loss, and my first reaction logging in today was "Boy, this really shit itself..".
Re: Catastrophic failure
Yep, big thank you to you both for your efforts.
So easy to loose this kind of information.

Re: Catastrophic failure
Most of the praise goes to Jeff - he's my man behind the curtain
Me - I don't have any fingernails left But, having a good backup plan is key in these situations - and we had one.
Thanks to the group for your patience and understanding!!

Re: Catastrophic failure
Looks like this site was hijacked by a Aussie Mustang club..
Re: Catastrophic failure
The 350 site half way woks for me, but when browsing the 500 forum, I can confirm the Aussie Mustang hack :-(
On the 350 site I get errors like this:
phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includes/session.php on line 87: htmlspecialchars(): charset `files' not supported, assuming utf-8
which disappear when modifying the URL by deleting the sid=xxx part.

Re: Catastrophic failure
Jeff also runs the Aussie Mustang forum, its on the same server I suspect so it makes sense to see some of that if the links are not quite right. 2stroksedownunder seemed unaffected tho so maybe thats hosted elsewhere?

Re: Catastrophic failure
Guys,
Unless it has happened to them, I don't think most people realize how much work it is to recover a site like this. We tend not to even think about what our admins go through on a daily basis, let alone the hours & stress to get past a major data loss.
Thanks guys for your ongoing efforts. We appreciate it.

Re: Catastrophic failure
What is the URL you are using for the 500 forum? It's fine for me.MK wrote:The 350 site half way woks for me, but when browsing the 500 forum, I can confirm the Aussie Mustang hack :-(

The htmlspecialchars issue is because of a newer PHP version on the rebuild. I will fix that today.
Re: Catastrophic failure
My guess is that for the 500 forum you were using rzrd500.com instead of http://www.rzrd500.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I've created a vhost for rzrd500.com now as well, so it will go to the right website.
