Outage - Omniscient - Apr 12, 2009
Oops...Looks like Easter morning we had an outage starting at 7:30am. It's Easter and not sure what happened but I will look into it. I was out till about 5am last night so I just woke up. :)
So in total about 5-6 hours down. Sorry about that.
These mysql max connection errors are starting to annoy me. I am going to look deeper into it since I think mysql is having a tough time restarting. It's locking and won't die without a kill command. Hmm....

I wondered what had happened :) good to see HF back.

Its said "Too many connections" So I thought it was DDoS`ed really. Good to see HF up and running again.

I was up late too, first time on. I didn't notice.
- Omniscient - Apr 12, 2009
Nah..I still ain't convinced it's not normal traffic.

Well at least the site is up (for now)

Omni are you positive it's mysql? It just seems quite odd. This has been happening quite a bit lately, don't you agree?
- Omniscient - Apr 12, 2009
Yes and it's mysql locking up after too many connections. Why there are too many connections could be for a number of reasons. I don't have the setting too high so it could be legit traffic. Or it could be a ddos. I have raised the limit and when I have time I will investigate the logs to see what happened when it did lock up.

Thank you for doing this. I was locked out for a whole day once because of the mySQL error.

According to google there's some setting that handles max connections to the database? Just wondering

I thought it was been DDos
