Topic: SITE STATUS [updated Mar 2017]

[kat]

This topic has been pinned for service reports and status messages.

Latest report: https://www.katsbits.com/smforum/index.php?topic=333.msg4683#msg4683

Thurs 18th Jan from 20:30 GMT, server will be shut down for maintenance so KatsBits will be off-line and inaccessible for a short period.

Where necessary status reports are also posted to Facebook and Twitter.

If you're reading this then it means the forums are back up and running (comment text can't be read from the home page). The archived forum should also be active, so too should archived news. The store is currently offline whilst it's being fixed, once that's done everything should be back to normal

As DNS was updated last night it may still take a while for everything to filter through and settle down. Send any problems or breakages (in message form) to info@katsbits.com. Cheers!

cool, everything seems normal with the forums so far, well done kat.

I am most certainly well and truly done (knackered)! Not even coffee stopped that from happening I'll probably be posting a blog about what's been going on but suffice to say here, if KatsBits were a new site this would have been a relatively easy thing to do. But it will allow the site to grow some more.

[ratty redemption]

understood i think, and again well done for taking on this task. i'm sure you were busy enough before the move.

Database error caused the forums, and much of the site it seems, to black out for a while earlier today. Problem appears to be fixed as of 10PM GMT.

Server was down for some maintenance earlier (0200/0400GMT).
Everything should be back up after a minor forum error.

[ratty redemption]

cool, and everything seems to be working as normal.

[kat]

Server crashed and was offline for a few hours, 21:00-23:00 GMT.

[kat]

Server crashed c.16:30.
Offline for about 40 minutes, should be back up now.

[kat]

The Store and other database reliant services have been a bit patchy the last day or two whilst some background issues are sorted out. The site may go offline intermittently due to various "SQL" and "Connection" errors. The problem is known and being fixed.

[ratty redemption]

good luck with that.

[kat]

Problems encountered with the store looks to have been cleared up so everything should be shipshape and Bristol Sound. Thanks for your patience (was a migration issue due to having to move the store to a new location).

[kat]

Server was upgraded earlier today so may have been temporarily unavailable for visitors. Everything is back up and running now but if any problems are spotted post below or send an email in (support@katsbits.com). Cheers Peers!

[ratty redemption]

working now, cool.
