Re: PBW status
A quick script to access the database and read out the key-fields should help clarify. Im guessing the key is the login? If you read out a 100 logins and then the next few are garbage, its the database. Actualy I think I would check then end of it first. Someone may have put in characters it didnt like. Deleting the Last dozen records might fix it.
Was there changes recently to the signup scrupt? What does linux show as a change date? Going to the directory with the java scripts and running a
ls -blart
will have the newest changed files at the very end of the display.

Being a host for a dozen Koth games I hope we won't restart the server

Re: PBW status
A ray of hope in PBW's dark night...
According to my new "Teach Yourself MySQL" book, there's a MySQL utility that can diagnose a corrupt database and repair it.
I'll send Geo instructions on how to run this as soon as I get it typed up.
The first thing the repair chapter advises is "don't panic".

I was going to suggest using phpMyAdmin to figure out the problem with MySQL if there is any. But of course PHP will need to be installed on the server for it to work. It is a great utility and makes handling databases in MySQL a snap. I use it here at work to manage our website databases and others.

Re: PBW status
It turns out that the new user signup function on PBW is not merely hampered like I thought, it's alltogether broken. No Users will be able to sign up for PBW until we can get that fixed. Exsisting Users should still be able to join and play games, with the workarounds for the known issues.
I am in the middle of finals, so I really don't have time for this unfortunatly. I am also going out of town this weekend. When I get back I'll have a week before my next classes get rolling. I will try my best to get some of this stuff working at that point.
Muddle through as best you can. If you have any friends wanting to signup, please give them our appologies.

Since it's coming up on 6 or 7 hours unavailable, is there an estimate for "a bit today"?

Re: PBW status
Sunday - no typo? 4 days is a little more than "a bit today"  Sounds very severe - can you use any help/hints/anything? Should the emergency replacement servers be started? |
