Title: Forum database issues.
Post by: Sir Edward on 2013-06-03, 01:27:55

Let me know if you had any problems posting, or know of one of your messages disappearing. The system disk got really full on the server in the last few days, without me noticing, until I managed to crash the database by posting a message tonight.

Luckily it looks like the damage was minimal and the repairs seemed to work just fine.

And a simple reboot to take advantage of the additional disk space from my host, and we're back in business.

Ah, now I know why it happened. My log files for Apache are using non-standard names, to have per-domain logging, so the log-rotator never rotated them out... so they kept growing indefinitely. Arg!

EDIT: And this has been going on for a year, since I did the OS upgrade. My old setup rotated them correctly.

No problems at all
