[vinkin]

Are you on Chopin?

This happened to me on Lotus the other day. The databases were rolleb back by about 2 months. It just corrected itself after an hour or so. The link from MySQL to accounts was broken, so the server defaulted back to the latest working one, in my case, 2 months prior.

Hope this helps

Thanks stpvoice

Hope the same happens in my case too, ya i am on chopin.

Should do.

I paniked. The most recent database backup I have is about a month old-a long time in terms of changes. Lucky for me, all the databases came back as admin restored the MySQL-server links. The same should happen in your case. Give it an hour.

Hope this helps.

Sure will wait and see, will update once done

Thanks.

By the way, DO NOT apply a database backup for an hour or so, as if admin are working on them, and are applying links etc. they could be corrupted if you start messing from your end too.

 

[vinkin]

ya thats correct, I have just closed the forum so that people also should not access DB. Will wait and see what happens.

 

[stpvoice]

Fingers crossed

the worst is that yesterday i made a backup of my site, but as i did it to late and i was tired i decided to download it today.. :'(... the last backup i have on my computer is from 20-10-09... i want to cry!!! :'(

I made a back up a few minutes before the crash it seems (ultimate luck!), nearly *very rude worded* myself when my forum was practically reset to the beginning.

I applied the restore before I read here, I hope that hasn't caused problems.

well you should try to keep a copy for your own backup purposes. But in dynamic sites that may be harder.

What do you expect when they name all the free servers after Vodkas?

 

[stpvoice]

Backups are the responsibility of the end user. So in other words:

Incase of data loss, you're on your own mate!

 

[vinkin]

ya specially in free servers its totally user's responsibility, but no hosting provider will crash their own server purposely, some times its just fate thats all.

Now my site's link to DB is completely lost. Hope will return will full up to date back up.

I take it this issue is the reason behind the current MySQL lock out?

 

[stpvoice]

It should be okay, but you'll have to be patient.

Like I said, it happened to me the other day, I had dinner, came back, and it was fine.
I was told that the link had gone down by staff, and I'm assuming server updates caused it.
Edit:
And, yes, this is most likely the reason behind any MySQL problems you are having at the moment.


Edit:
Thanks for the rep kalanac! PM me any time for help

I hope the admins at least know the MySQL is down. I mean, I'm 5 hours into my workday and it's still down. I was able to get it to work a few times earlier this morning, but only for a couple seconds.

 

[stpvoice]

I'm sure they do, but if you want to be sure, you could write on their profile 'wall' as it were.

we can do that?? so I understand we can not ask for support on profiles
