Author Topic: Server Status and System Notices Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 05-29-2003 05:09 PM                     With yesterday's system failure, Brad and I have come up with an idea to cross-post server status between Film-Tech and Cinematour. The sites are on separate servers in the same location. The only reasons that both sites should simultaneously fail would be: both servers lose power there is an upstream DNS failure there is an upstream internet problem the access line gets cut by construction crews again . So if you can't reach Cinematour, come here to check and see if something on our end is going on. If you can't reach Film-Tech, go to the Cinematour Forum and navigate to Cinematour Discussion. This topic will probably be made sticky so that it is always near the top of the list.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Please stand by ... *Update* The issues we were having have been sorted out and everything is back up and running normally.

Thanks for your patience. Update: All done!

Tuesday, October 28th we will have approximately 1/2 hour of solid downtime at some point in the evening. This will affect all servers, but should not affect all of them at the same time. (Cinematour should be up when Film-Tech is down.) Friday, October 31st we will have an unknown amount of downtime from noon to the evening hours for improvements. The site may be sporadically available for that timeframe. This will also affect all servers, but should not affect all of them at the same time.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Cinematour is running again, by the way. [ 11-29-2003, 10:04 PM: Message edited by: Adam Martin ]  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Estimated maintenance time is unknown, but will probably be a few hours.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-11-2003 08:48 PM                     The Film-Tech Forums will be down for maintenance for a few hours tonight, beginning around midnight.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Hey ... we could've taken it completely down all night ...  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

The server will need to be taken offline around 11:30pm CST. Downtime could be up to three hours, but will likely be substantially shorter.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Things seem to be somewhat back to normal. Less info is available here: http://status.film-tech.net/  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Apparently there's a hurricane or something coming. Visit http://status.film-tech.net/ in the event of an outage for info.  |  IP: Logged
