Site Outage / Broken

Featured Replies

There is a major outage at a data center in Northern Virginia due to a cooling system issue.  This data center stores most of the images and some of the code for the site.  I have been informed that the restoration of that data center could last as long as 4 p.m. on May 31st.  The site will appear in a broken state until the data center is back online.  Thank you for your patience.  Click here if you'd like to follow the restoration status. 

@Drew Dowdell Thank you for the status update and notification.

WOW, bummer for that happening, thank you for all you do for us.

We're going to have one more scheduled outage starting tomorrow morning for about 4 hours as we make one final jump to a stable server.  I got us put back together, but we're held together with bubblegum and a wish at the moment.  I'm moving some smaller sites first to get the process down before I move all 26 gigs of this beast.

Thank you for the notification. I am almost done with my opinion piece on "EV Home Charging: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" Will not rush it giving you time to get everything figured out. Thank you again Drew.

The other sites are moving quite swiftly, and I've got a good sense of what will need to be done tomorrow.  The only difference for C&G is that it's 200 times the size, so getting the file and the database zipped up and then moved takes a lot longer.  The good news is that even the smaller sites are worlds faster.... This site software is chonky, so it will never be the fastest site out there (until the next major version at least), but it will be a lot faster than now. 

 

Yes, the site is much more responsive, loving it! Thank you

How is it running for everyone so far?  It seems a lot snappier to me. 

It seems to me working great for me.

Okay, I haven't seen it happen on my end, and I was on a good bit yesterday.
