Anyone else sufferin from The Planet's outage?!

This exposed so many efficiencies in how they operate. From poor DNS design, to lack of resliency in their customer portal, to support failures.

Their phones and everything were dropped because of this. They have some serious work to do even once they get the lights back on.

I think that's a rather brash statement to make about TP. One simply can't plan for every single possible scenario that something could go wrong in a datacenter.

Based from what I've read all over the place, an explosion happened. What exploded I'm not sure. But it's certainly one of those very very rare instances.

However the situation was bad enough that the fire marshall enacted protocols to shut down all power to that facility. That included all secondary power systems used to provide backup power the datacenter. Evidently the fire marshall assessed the situation and warranted that there will be no electricity in that building until certain criteria was met and that it was not safe to use secondary power.

If you want to blame anyone, blame the fire marshall. If he says no power to this building, his word goes and no power to the building, regardless of source.

Make sure to run a repair on your database as soon as possible. Myisam tables don't respond well to sudden shutdowns.

You've got that right. I've never had a reboot where I didn't need to do repairs.

My server went down too, so I ordered up another server at their other data center. Now I have DNS propagation woes with some of my users being on crappy ISPs.

When your server is up, make sure to run a repair on your database as soon as possible. Myisam tables don't respond well to sudden shutdowns.

Want to give a step by step rundown on how to do this?

Best way after something like this?

Log into phpMyAdmin and click on your database if it is not selected. Then click "Select All". Then where it says "With Selected" choose "Repair Tables".

Thanks Wayne!

Thanx, Wayne. My site is up now, yeeeeah!

I ran a repair as you just suggested and received the following meg (see attched). What does it mean? What should I do next?

[i] query ...

That is just a notice box saying : information > you run a query

if your page says it has completed, and doesn't have a red box saying : hell broke loose .. then you're good.

I'm getting this message since my Server came back Online.

Warning: Memcache::connect() [function.Memcache-connect]: Can't connect to 127.0.0.2:11211, Connection refused (111) in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 307

Fatal error: Unable to connect to memcache server in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 309

Help??

Please post in the correct forum for support, although you might want to contact TP's support to find out if there is anything that you need to know about your server coming back online and any essential maintenance that you might need to do.

Sorry I thought since this was caused by the Planet crashing that I could post it here.. Where is a good place to Post it?

After my site was up, I received the following msg twice:

cpsrvd failed @ Tue Jun 3 2008. A restart was attempted automagically.

What does it mean?

It sounds like Disney lingo for automatically.

Nothing to worry about apparently.

Can I run this with the board up and running?
