Downtime hopefully fixed

Posted by Kim on January 27, 2015, 8:47pm

You've all noticed that there's been an unusual amount of down time lately, worsening dramatically over the last 24 hours. I've spent the last few days working this issue continually, including 12 hours in a row today. I'm a very tired (and hungry) admin. The good news is, I think we're finally clear of it all.

The very short version of what's been going on is that an important system directory apparently went corrupt and was causing a lot of bizarre symptoms that had us chasing white rabbits and red herrings.

Finally found it, removed it, replaced it, gave it a bit of a polish, and the bizarre errors seem to be abating.

I am so sorry for all this inconvenience. I am extending existing epic memberships by a week to help make up for any time you may have missed.

Haha, I just thought maybe the Repository had connections based out of the northeast and was being affected by the storms out there or something. xD This makes more sense!
