The TR website was down for a while, I was busy with school so I noticed it only until very late in the evening. MSNing with garf fixed it quickly. hope you didn't miss the site too much

I would have been going prematurely bald like last time, but the the Utopian chat network; IRC, saved me from buying a toupee.

Hooray for the IRC monkeys.

I was scared as hell. Good to see the site's unharmed. Btw, is anyone backing-up anything, just in case? I still remember the last time someone hacked us.

The downtime was just due to upgrading subversion, it knackered up apache for no good reason, will try to make sure upgrades dont effect apache in future.

Talking of upgrades, I will be needing to upgrade php very soon, so will require a tiny bit of downtime, whilst I restart apache to use the new version.

In reference to backups.. The TR database is backed up weekly, not sure if anyone ever downloads it to keep a remote copy.

Theres approx. 7GB of data in the TR site, which makes it difficult to backup a remote copy, but when I get my 50mbps cable internet it shouldn't be too difficult to do

I am going to see if I can compress/delete any files that arent needed, such as log files, old backups, etc to use a little less space.

This is my job and I totaly forgot backup up the site. I'll download the latest backup to a folder on my pc as soon as I get back home from school.

I hope we never need it considering my 1 mb upload speed
