Happy New Year: SaturnFans.com Back Online, Moved Postponed

[Charlie]

Well, we're back! After the site crashed over the weekend, I decided to use the downtime to move SaturnFans.com to its new home. I had planned to do it back in Decemeber, but between the holidays, the SF Publisher being down, and other parts of the site needing maintenance, moving the site was not a priority. The good news is that over the weekend I was able to repair the database and fix the publisher. All of the articles published between December 8th and the end of the year will be restored from a backup later this week. Unfortunately, several batches of files transfered to the new site were corrupt, so the move has been postponed.

This isn't the start of the new year that I had hoped for, but I'm happy that the site is back online — even if its still on the old server. Afterall, sometimes it's the little victories that count, right? Sorry for the extended outage. Let me know if you find anything that isn't quite working right.

Happy New Year!
Charlie

Sounds like the site could of used some of the Nighttime, Sniffling, Sneezing, Coughing, Aching, Fever, Sleep Better to Feel Better Medicine.

I hope this turns out to be better for all of us.

Cool, I was having SaturnFans withdrawal pains...thanks for getting the site back!

Believe it or not, I often see this happen a lot in the Sili. Valley, it's a crisis that finally makes an upgrade happen. It's probably because when things melt down, that makes the question "what if something goes wrong" a moot point.

Hopefully Charlies wasn't too sleep deprived this last weekend!

Glad to see the site back! I hope to see more Saturn Fest posts as well!

That'll do it... I've heard of such things (even SQL caches) crashing sites, it happened from time to time on several boards I frequent.
