As an additional note I get the following message at the homepage. I can get past it by typing in the address line into the forums page.

If you are the administrator of this website:
You may now add content to this directory, and replace this page. Note that until you do so, people visiting your website will see this page, and not your content.

If you have upgraded from Red Hat Linux 6.2 and earlier, then you are seeing this page because the default DocumentRoot set in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf has changed. Any subdirectories which existed under /home/httpd should now be moved to /var/www. Alternatively, the contents of /var/www can be moved to /home/httpd, and the configuration file can be updated accordingly.

If you are a member of the general public:
The fact that you are seeing this page indicates that the website you just visited is either experiencing problems, or is undergoing routine maintenance.

If you would like to let the administrators of this website know that you've seen this page instead of the page you expected, you should send them e-mail. In general, mail sent to the name "webmaster" and directed to the website's domain should reach the appropriate person.

For example, if you experienced problems while visiting www.example.com, you should send e-mail to "webmaster@example.com".

Hi Everyone,

Well first: That downtime just like 3 seconds ago was me. I had to shut off mysql and apache so I could fix CBN. Then Mysql was choking when I tried to bring it back up so it took me longer than the original estimated 30 seconds. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Secondly: If any of you get Test Pages anywhere, that's PROBABLY just a cache issure. Refresh! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Other than that, things seem to be ok.

Yep, I hit the downtime, figured it was something like that (knowing that you guys are still working your butts off), went away and came back a couple of minutes later, and everything was fine again.

Of course, I was hit by a momentary jolt of paranoia, since after I re-registered the first time it went down again, and after registering the second time this morning, sure enough, down again! I started thinking I was a jinx...it was very good to see it back up again a couple of minutes later. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Ibrahim,

It would appear there may be an issue with posting pictures right now. Please see the thread Finally joining Spencer and Henro for an example.

Thanks,
Kevin

<font color="blue">Were the drives either RAID 1 or RAID 5?</font>

No, we don't run RAID, but that would have probably helped prevent any downtime. I'm not positive if our current server supports RAID or not, but anything can be done for the right amount of money. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Kevin,

That is a gitch. Ibrahim will look into and fix ASAP. Sorry.

Bird,

That was a perfect picture of what we see from our back patio. Except, we are about a mile closer... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. I am always humbled and awestruck at Nature. I have seen floods --growing up in the Midwest, we had some dillies on the Illinois River. But this is the first time I have been "up close and personal" with a forest fire. I now truly understand the meaning of the phrase "get ready to flee." /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Attachments work now, but not if they were uploaded overnight; they never actually got uploaded. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Hakim,

Just wanted to mention that quite a few years ago, we lived in Tucson for about a year while my Dad oversaw the construction of the Tucson National Golf Club. We rented a house that had Mt. Lemmon as our view from the back yard. It was great. Being "snowbirds", we frequently drove up to the mountain during the winter just to see snow and go skiing.

I pray for you and everyone out there to be safe, and hope that the damage to those beautiful mountains is minimal.

Also, thanks to all of you for the great work you do on TBN. How many cups of coffee did you all drink last night? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Every user and visitor to TBN owes you more than one!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hi Garry,

Thanks for your concern. Mt. Lemmon is a most remarkable place, since it only an hour from a true desert. In Jan and Feb, one can truly have the best of all worlds -- snow skiiing + world class golf + swimming by the pool -- all in the same day!

Despite all of the fire damage, I am sure the mountain and all of Tucson environs will recover quickly and remain a place of extraordinary beauty.

We used to be an "official guzzling station" for Green Mountain coffee. It fact it was for a while designated as the "official coffee" of TBN. But since we left NY, we haven't found a place to buy it out here.
