Title: To answer a few questions
Post by: heretic on June 30, 2002, 09:58:11 pm
first, I want to apologize for talking about WS here, however I have no other way to let people know what is going on.

Yesterday our host had a "hiccup" that threw some of their servers out of whack. All the hosted servers were in turn rebooted, and things returned to normal. I believe this is what happened to WS.

however, due to my hosting arrangement, the WS server has nobody to physically walk up to it and restart it. Until then, I have no access to anything, from ssh to ftp.

To be honest I have no idea when we will be able to get things fixed.

Best of luck sorting out the problem dude - and can you please reply to my email or ICQ message? I'd still really like an answer on this matter.

heres the funny thing

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111) in /home/hosted/warpstorm/public_html/oracle/inc/login.php on line 7
There was an error accessing the database. Please try again.
If this problem is consistantly happening, please email me, [email protected]. Include the page that you were trying to view and any other relevant information. Thanks.

the oracle was originally from VW.

Warpstorm was licensed out the program, some files have yet to be converted.

the error message itself just states that the php files can't connect to the database.

just cause you've been at HLP longer than him doesn't mean you've been in the Freespace community longer than him ;)

I've been in the Freespace community longer than both of you :)
