Downtime

[Shockwave]

The server spat it's dummy out last night I am sorry, it doesn't happen too often thank goodness but I am keeping an eye on it jsyk.

If things get crappy I'll move us again!

Didnt notice any big downtimes since we moved...but I
will have an eye on it, too.

The site emails me when it can't access the database so it was definately down, please do keep an eye on it, especially slowness and connectivity problems, the contract is due for renewal in a few months I think and I really want to keep an eye on it. Thank you ta

Happened to me 2 days ago; a few times, something about not finding the sqldatabase. Too many connections.

That's an interesting point. If you receive an email but the database was down
maybe it is a database related problem. That would also explain Clyde's error
message ... hmm ... I will keep an eye on it.

It's because mysql crashes on our server and the host is slow to restart it mate.

[benny!]

Ahh .. I see.

If I win the lottery one day I'll buy us a dedicated server
