Downtime in all of our sites

During this morning our sites had been offline for some hours (starting at approximately 7 am UTC+1). All of this started with an overload of our server that had forced us to reboot the machine. After that, we saw that most of the files were gone. So, we download our backups from S3 and restored them. However, the last backups weren’t correct and we had to use a backup from October.

How it will affect you? All the attached files in the forum since October/November are missing. So, if you have attached files in the forum you should upload them again.

Please, contact us if you see something inusual. We’re still recovering: demo.osclass.org and download packages from geo.osclass.org/downloads Sorry for the inconvenience, we are going to improve our backup system and recovery from this kind of failures.

Update 23 January 2011 16:36 (UTC+1): demo sites and geo.osclass.org/downloads are working fine again.

Full changelog

We strongly recommend to install this plugin once to fix some problems that some user might be experiencing when adding new items. Once it’s installed, you can uninstall and delete the files from the server because it won’t perform any changes more. In addition, this new version should fix the problems that some users have been experiencing when they updated their OSClass.
