PGTour Downtime

[s]pgtour[/s]

The tiger private server is down due to unknown reasons. Their best guess is a hardware failure. Their downtime is unknown at present but they are currently working at it. It will be days not months this time. Nothing like a fresh start for 2006. Like they say, what does not kill you makes you stronger.



Bottom line the damage could have been prevented by thorough back-ups, that either cost money or a lot of hard work with periodic downtimes. We will see how much was lost, fortunately the important stuff is still all there and the server is back up. Now they are diligently re-installing everything. To avoid reading a long thread with unrelated, but encouraging chit chat, here are the only two quotes that you need to know to be up to date on the matter.

All I can say is that they are currently building us a new machine and installing appropriate OS/software and then they will put our current HD as slave so we can put everything back (that was not damaged). Then our Server Admin will set our server for maximum efficiency (install linux threads for MySQL, SMP support, etc...) Then we will have to reinstall everything back (BNet-X, website and database) - Canada PatOnce we get everything back up, we certainly learned from this bad experience and will take backups... We have not lost any of the stats or ratings.We've lost a lot of the match reports, all the teams, and all the polls. We were able to recover some of the teams using our previous backup and same for the polls. We are working as hard as we can to get PGTour back up. - Canada Chr1sWe will add more updates later. Have a happy New year.
