Avisynth.org is down

[Richard Berg]

I've been notified by my site admin that there is something wrong with the database. He has been working on it today and will hopefully have things working soon. I have good backups in case anything is terribly wrong.

Thanks for your patience.

P.S. this means don't email me! :)

Ok, things should be working. I had to erase and recreate a table that became corrupted...without really knowing what that table represents. Hopefully it concerns a feature we don't use -- I've emailed the Tavi devs to check -- but post here if you find something missing or otherwise bad.

Ok, the backups looked ok (not all the diff history was there, but the pages were fine)...but we've got more corruption. Will be getting a new disk at least, possibly a new server. Stay tuned.

Tough luck! :(

Keeping this sticky until it is resolved.

Well, the old server is officially dead, and I'm sick of waiting for them to fix it. We're moving to Hostrocket as soon as they process my order.

In case people are dying for documentation in the meantime, here's the next best option: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/avisynth2/avisynth/docs/

Ok I've bought a new server. First thing up is the filter collection (http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/) since it was just basic HTML. (Note the slight change in URL). Importing the main database will take some time.

In case the DNS hasn't propagated yet, the new IP is 216.120.248.75.

The website is up!

De-stickifying...[never mind, forgot I don't have mod rights in this forum]

[sh0dan]

Is it possible to recreate som pages I changed?

I made additions to DirectShowSource and Histogram after the first crash, and before the second. I can't recall if I changed other pages, but I'm missing these two ;)

[sh0dan]

... also the filter collection seems to be missing.

Any chance that URLs to the old avisynth.org/~user system could be redirected to the new avisynth.org/user one automatically?

sh0dan: I did not redo my backup during the time I was able to briefly bring things back, and AFAICT the old disk is completely hosed, so probably not. The filter collection is up, see below...

I will try. Each would have to be done manually, so are there any others besides yours & warp's?

[Richard Berg]

Well, my naive attempts at mod_rewrite aren't working. Any Apache gurus here?
