Hardware problems. What happened yesterday was actually the same problem as before but became a bigger problem. So what this means is, Alex is going to bring on line another server Thursday that we received just arrived the other day. Alex is going to duplicate the bad server's software and then copy over the current database as the server will be down maybe 30 to 40 minutes on Thursday. I plan on calling the company who sold us the servers to once again request another server replacement.

We will eventually get everything running correctly, just have ran into a string of bad luck concerning hardware problems.

Just thought we would let you all know what the story was about last night. We tried to fix the mysql data base errors after we got everything back on line yesterday but after several attempts to fix the errors. Alex decided to use the last backup we did late in the afternoon yesterday. So we may have lost a few posts due having to use a back copy.

So in the end we will be off line Thursday for a short time and we will give you all the heads up several hours before we start to swap servers.

Any sofware or server change is like surgery....some times complications arise!
