Downtime weekend - Nov 27 - 29, 2004

Animeboards.com and sites may experience momentarily downtimes while our generous hosting sponsors, Disboards.com (http://animeboards.com/showthread.php?t=56124) upgrade their 6+ million post vBulletin forum to vB 3.0.3. This may require Apache/MySQL restarting due to the size of the forum upgrade and tweaks and optimisations needed on server level to complete their upgrades.

Probably only a very short downtime.. but the notice was up in so everyone knew what was going on.. and yes still 6,500 visitors/day hit Animeboards.com according to my logs heh

Was the site down for the past two days? I couldn't access it to save my life. It would tell me there was a timeout error. Thought the servers were being upgraded again or something...

I too had occured this error when access to the site was desired, and pushing refresh did not fix the errror, no matter how many a time I did press the refresh button! :p

yeah problem was with the web serving software, litespeed web server which replaced Apache server for web serving.. the "408 request time out error" - not sure what was the problem but seems to be fixed now.. looking into the cause :)
