Title: 5 hour down time
Post by: Arran on 17 03, 2013, 10:38:23 pm

This post has been edited (edited parts marked [like this]) as readers were confused by the technical descriptions, I have replaced them with simpler descriptions.

The 5 hour down time was caused by a ['network trouble'] that lasted 2 hours. During those 2 hours the host did an unexpected shut down to put us in their [recovery mode] because it wasn't responsive due to the 'network trouble'.

This unexpected shut down caused the [server to break] and reinstalling everything may have been required if it wasn't for hammering in commands and hoping some would work. Luck was on our side this time and it was fixed after around 5 hours.

I've made some changes to prevent this extra downtime happening again so this shouldn't happen again next ['network trouble'].

If you can't access ingame and forum it will mean that we're having 'network trouble' and because of the severity of the 'network trouble' there is no fix available other than waiting. I strongly advice against joining similar styled MTA servers as it is almost certain that one of our jealous competitors is causing this for us.
