Weekend website downtime

November 15, 2006 By Scott Richardson Filed under Article Tags: website

Late last week, our webhost moved several of our databases, including the ones that hold this weblog and the Wells Reserve Community Forum, to new servers that are physically closer to their web servers. That's a good thing. The databases (and our websites) should be faster and less prone to problems since our traffic won't have to travel all over their network.

Unfortunately, when the databases were moved to the same database server from multiple servers, some of our configuration information had to change. As a result, our blog and forums were down over the weekend. Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.
