Rcolt.com down

[lovecolt]

I'm sure everyone would know that rcolt.com was unavailable for quite a long time yesterday. Just so that everyone know, the host company had issues with the database server and attend to the issue on the first instance. Unfortunately, it seems like a major problem, hence it took them quite a long time to get everything back. This affects not only us, but all sites that's linked to that db server.

Anyway, I'm happy that the site is back now :)

Still having some issues getting onto the site today, is it the same for anyone else here?

I did notice the issue yesterday.. I thought i had to restart my modem cos theres been some storms.. Hahaha silly me didnt think about checking if google works first.. Havent had any issues today tho..

[something]

Yeah, I had the Page can't load message for a while when I first logged in around 9:30 AM ish. Things started working again around 10 to 15 minutes later [very approximate timings there].

[lovecolt]

Yup, seems to still have abit of issue in the morning. but seems fine now.

I have rcolt as my home page so also figured my internet wasnt working so i called my telco and gave them a mouthful.... my bad

[rokkuchan]

Is it just me or is the site really really really slow and sometimes don't even load at all??

[lovecolt]

I find that too since yestersday. But sometimes, its fine.......time to do some maintenance or report to the host.......

[something]

"The webpage at http://www.rcolt.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."

Yeah, really, really, really slow to the point it is inoperative... :(

[Corosith]

Tis a bit slow loading, then again I am out the middle of bum fuck nowhere atm, cyclone went straight over the top of us but ran out of steam unfortunately!

[lovecolt]

just performed some database maintenance as per advised by the host company. Seems quicker for me now. Feedback?

[Geebung71]

Just posted elswhere about this issue and then noticed this thread:P still relatively slow for me and got virus alert at work today when trying to enter site?? any one else having problems

[Corosith]

Still really slow, I'm on ignissportoc.co.uk and it runs just fine, so definitely something amiss.

[alba]

Site is running slow on both desktop and mobile devices... Terribly slow

[colTwes]

running slow indeed

[alba]

seems ok now

[something]

Yes, much livelier now!

[colTwes]

much better

[lovecolt]

Woooo Hooooooo.................the site is finally back online :D

Cause: The forum files have being hacked and illegal coding's being inserted everywhere. Spent the last 3 nights fixing and cleaning it up. Thank goodness that its back now :D

If any of the function's not working for you guys, please let me know here.

Also, i have yet to finish fixing the tapatalk version of the site. Should be back soon too as i might as well put the Tapatalk ver 2 on.

Nice work mate - good to see everything up and running again!

[fauxpas]

why the fuck would anyone want to hack a car forum? Shouldn't they be going after the big banks or the US DoD?

fkn fiesta owners I bet! :)

[skyrex]

fkn commodore owners I bet! :)

Fixed. Though not as funny due to not having enough intellect to see past their 3.8L boat anchors.

[Corosith]

Thank god for that, I was starting to get withdrawal symptoms! Seems that 16 year old hackers have nothing better to do with their time.

[black_ice]

Thanks Ryan..

[lovecolt]

I think I need to create a Facebook fan page, so if anything happens to the site, at least people can all get the latest update.

By the way, the latest tapatalk has been installed. Typing this with it now

I agree..my old forum OZVR4 has a facebook page and people can discuss and ask stuff there when the site is down..

[Adz]

+1 for the facebook fan page

[odysseyesm]

+1 for the facebook fan page

Yep - Would like that.

[nelson308]

Yeah great idea when is it happening

[something]

Well done, Ryan - it's an absolute pain in the arse when your site gets hacked - has happened twice to my very low-traffic web site - not fun having to spend countless hours of your own time to fix-up and restore your site on account of some inconsiderate hacker w@nker! Facebook page sounds like an excellent idea!

[kalt]

Thanks Ryan.

That weird sound you hear must be a collective sigh of relief from members on here! :)

[something]

Ryan, your host servage.net [if that is what you actually use as your host] is crap... sorry...
