Downtime apologies

I apologise for the downtime. I just fixed it. If anyone saw some errors when trying to read the blog, well.. let’s hope you won’t see them again.

I have no idea what happened. Yesterday all my sites were fine, this morning none of them worked :( I even woke up at 7 o’clock, as if i knew… (okay, i didn’t, but what are the odds :D )

I kept getting errors when trying to acces the sites, errors like “parse error: expected “;” on line <number_of_line> in file <name_of_file>”. I tried to upload each file i got errors on one by one, until i got another nice error: “can’t reach <something about widgets> on file <file_name> on line <number_of_line> “, or something like this.

I’m telling you all this not because it’s damn interesting, but because maybe someone got some similar errors. I uploaded all files from the wordpress version, except the folders. I also had to upload wp-config again, it didn’t work otherwise.

It’s all ok now, let’s hope it stays this way :)

    Sounds like someone was fiddling about with the code of Wordpress. The error may not have appeared until a cached file became out of date, was then refreshed and contained faulty code. So, could be anytime in the last few days.

    I think this is because of the new wp version and sometimes, you must also upgrade the widgets/plugins you are using to comply on the new wp version.

    It’s good that you have recovered your site to it’s normal up time. May I also suggest that you back-up your files so that it’s easy for you to restore when trouble arises.

    I only entered the blog sphere in late 2008 after realizing that I was missing out on an important part of the whole online communication genre.

    I love this theme! Really elegant and simple. Do you know the name of it? I can’t find it on the link below.

    And my site was down for 2 days straight when I tried to upgrade to WP 2.7. I was using an old wpconfig file, and hadn’t transferred all of the files. WP can be scary and really awful, but great when it’s running smoothly!

  24. aadryanaa on July 23rd, 2009

    The theme name is WickedWP, but i customized it, it doesn’t look like this when you first install it :)

    Are you doing to do another post soon?

  30. Riju on July 30th, 2009

    It is a PHP parshing error …or may be the DB connection was creating some glitches ..it happens when an exception arises due to some plugin…check all the plugins and their settings..

    I think its normal that you sometimes get a downtime error. And your readers will surely understand that.

    wonderful. congrats

    Glad everything seems to be working right again.

    It drives me crazy when things that are supposed to work automatically for the most part like computers start doing strange things.

    We deal with enough adversity throughout the day without having our tools of the trade start giving us problems…
