Server NightMare

[-S-]

Assalamu alaykum all

first of all Jazakallah and apologies to everyone to hanging on for the downtime over the last few days - its basically been a nightmare from start trying to get things up and the funny thing is its not over yet! :laugh:

Islamicboard.com - The Transfer of this account is aLL done and Inshallah all should be ok! If you spot any problems PLEASE let me know!!!

BAD BAD NEWS is that - When i tried to move the account over it corrupted the Database which meant i had to do a restore from 3 weeks back :( Yes gutted about this :( but hey was stuck there

So anyone registered after 3 weeks till upto now will need to re-register :(


The Server is in UK so anyone in UK may notice change in Speed - need to add an extra 1 GIG ram in t here not sure if that has been done or not need to check...........


Now next task is moving load-islam.com which is 18gig and has failed 6 times already so more long nights up :(

but Islamicboard is up which is the main thing alhumdulillah!!!!!!

[Khayal]

:sl:

JazaakAllaah khayr brother for everything...

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh!

I've been having spasms since the site has been down! - DId you not make up a back-up of the data? THis would have prevented you having to lose three weeks of data and sign-ups?

Gur Fateh :D

AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

JazakAllah khair,

What's the lines at the bottom of the screen? Looks like a race track Loq.

[truemuslim]

jazakallah khair brother for all this
just dont spend nights doin this, live ur life too.
May allah shower his blessings upon you inshallah and grant u jannah



and

LOOOOOOOL why do som ppl have da thing sayin stuff like "Hamada has much to be proud of"
and "Righteous lady has reputation beyond (somthin i forgot) " ? etc etc... and also most of the stuff are lil red X's in white boxes.. inshallah all this will be fixed

[Woodrow]

Just before the forum crashed the best thread ever written was started. It had all of the solutions to the world's problems and was also easy to read and entertaining. I think I was the only one who read it before the crash and I forgot what it said.

Would whoever posted it please repost it.
















































Just Joking, had to say that to pick on Brother -S-.


Now to say what I really meant to say. Brother -S- worked many long hours to restore this. It is true that some stuff was lost. But he did an excellent job in being able to save as much as he did save. I just want to let him know his efforts are appreciated.

[MartyrX]

That would explain why it says I haven't posted in three weeks.

After all bro -S- has been through tsk tsk tsk, Only kiddin'

Oh my reps my beloved reps! *Cries* I still have a reputation beyond repute woo what ever that may be,

Peace.

I will re-post it soon uncle Woodrow, inshaAllah, don't you worry about it. =)















Now don't anyone dare to argue about this. He can't proove it wasn't me, nor that it was me! And we wanna trust fellow Muslims, don't we? Hah. I win.








OK OK, sorry.. I was joking.

Brother -S- worked many long hours to restore this. It is true that some stuff was lost. But he did an excellent job in being able to save as much as he did save. I just want to let him know his efforts are appreciated.

I double that! JazakAllah kheyr brother very much appreciated!! May Allah reward you, inshaAllah!! Amiin.

[Nájlá]

oh yeh i have applied again but it didnt work.

[-S-]

What error you getting if any?

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

Bro lol there is one thing i dont understand, if i was going to migrate servers, the FIRST thing i would do, just before swapping over, is make a backup, and download it locally. and put it on an external disk drive if necessary...

so then in worst case scenario, you could still have the forum back to normal, without even losing one hour...

anyway...barakAllaahufeek, im sure them posts in them 3 weeks werent thaat important, and who cares about reps, JazakAllaah Khayr akhee :)

[MartyrX]

a vBulletin Message comes up and it says.
This does not appear to be a public user group.

[crayon]

Chill out, it's not the end of the world. A few posts and reps on an internet forum gone, so what?

Jazaka Allahu Khair brother, we appreciate all your efforts.

[------]

:salamext:

ITS NOT ABOUT THE REPS!!! Is the only thing u care about is reps?! Uffffffffff.

[crayon]

Also, something that's driving me nuts, is it just me, or is are all the menu headers FAT now?

AsalamuALaykum,

By the way, it is working fine on I.E and FireFox,

You know what, dun wana stress you out or nothing, but it doesn't feel any faster, well it was fast anyhow for me..

[Al-Zaara]

:salamext:

whatever man do what u want

and no one was telling you to wake up at 1am and sort the forum out, ur fault u stressed over it.

none of this rubbish would have happened if u had it stable and not moved it to a faster server in the first place

Seriously, stop complaining and I mean it now. Would I be a mod at this very moment, I'd kick you out and I have never banned anyone.

Don't you get it? He's trying to make it better, for us. The argument "it was all good before, no need to change", doesn't work here and now, it's his forum, his rules.

Sometimes so that things become better, they gotta worsen at first.

Just give it time, subhanAllah.

[------]

:salamext:

Whatever. I'm sick of this. Am out.

[-S-]

Gosh ! Seems that 3 weeks of posts is a matter of Life and Death for some!

I wouldnt be doing server upgrades if it wasnt for the Better......
If you understood the job as a System administrator then you would know exactly what position we are in..

I dont do Islamicboard fulltime - i got a a full time job myself and other commitments so i dont have to do this if i wanted to ..but im moving servers all the time to ensure that Islamicboard gets the very best..

moving servers aint easy on anyone especially on the stress that myself and the technicians had to go through from Friday Night onwards....

If i had let islamicboard run on the other servers things would have been worse!

but 3 weeks worth of posts im not sure why you fussing over it for!

[m102313]

I understand bro how it feels when you have too much to handle.

But i don't understand why people never stop complaining, they never appreciate Brother Sajid's efforts, he is trying to make this a better place for us. All we do is sit our butt down on a chair and gossip whole day long, but we don't really care about how much time and effort it takes to keep the forum running.

[m102313]

:salamext:

Those are not nice words to say.

I don't see you doing anything for the forum, other than complaining.

[Uthman]

Alhamdulillah...I am definitely seeing a clear increase in speed. Couple that with 16mb broadband (getting about 15.373 but who's counting) and waddaya know...quick as lightning Mashaa'Allah. :)

May Allah bless you in abundance brother Sajid!

[truemuslim]

Jazakallah khair brother -S- take you time, dont worry too much. We can take it, its not really our lives. lol. I actually see a difference in speed and im not evn in the UK..
JAzakallah khair
:w:

[-S-]

Part of all this problem is that i've been let down really badly by my provider which happens to be a muslim company :(

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

Its all Qadr bro, them 3 weeks just werent meant to be...

bro i know theres not a lot we can do, but if there is anything we can do to help, dont be shy Inshaa'Allaah....

Now to say what I really meant to say. Brother -S- worked many long hours to restore this. It is true that some stuff was lost. But he did an excellent job in being able to save as much as he did save. I just want to let him know his efforts are appreciated.

And i was thinking 'darn' i missed out on something good!
LOL, u got me too!

[Mikayeel]

Wsalam!

Here in the UK i see a nice change of pace to the site! :

[Na7lah]

yeah even here it seems faster

Jazakallah Khair again

[AvarAllahNoor]

When i post, it says ive already posted the last post which i posted, which i didn't post again, but takes me to you've already posted this post before! (Made sense?) :?

[Uthman]

:sl:

I have noticed that the forum is prone to frequent lapses where I cannot access any page on the forum for about a minute or so. After that, it returns to normal.

The server not found page does not come up. It just says 'waiting for Islamicboard.com' on the bottom left but it doesn't actually give me the page when I try to access the forum. I'm using firefox btw.

It happens every five minutes or so I would say.

I don't know whether I'm the only person experiencing this. Could it be something to do with the new server? It is just for this site, other sites work fine, it's just islamicboard.

It's nothing too bothersome though, I can deal with it because I just wait for about a minute every time it happens and it works again.

:w:

[Pk_#2]

When i post, it says ive already posted the last post which i posted, which i didn't post again, but takes me to you've already posted this post before! (Made sense?) :?

[AvarAllahNoor]

It's fine now. But when you go to your own page, all the images are not displayed. they have X in the boxes.

[Na7lah]

Akhy the forum’s slower then ever right now :(

[FatimaAsSideqah]

^^ Yeah, sister. It is more slower than before. But I have to patient when I am clicking the threads to open. It is takes to open by 1 to 2 minutes.

[Na7lah]

inshallah it gets fixed
my patience is gona wear out lol ;D

[FatimaAsSideqah]

^^ Yeah Insha'Allah! I can understand how u feels. :)

[-S-]

is it still slow..like the lags

[FatimaAsSideqah]

^ Yes, it is still slower same as before.
