I need to shut the weather-watch.com server down for a short while to do some maintenance on its virtual machine. I think it should only take about 30 minutes but as it involves copying a very large file and I’ve no way to test how long that will take I’m not absolutely sure about the outage length. I’ll start the work at 14:00 BST (13:00 GMT) today and it will be back up when I’ve finished…hopefully by around 14:30 BST.
Aplogies for the very extended outage. I now know how long it takes to copy a 1.5TB file…much longer than I expected!!
I’ve also found the cause of the database crash overnight and prevented that from happening again. I don’t think it was caused by the work I did yesterday, at least I can’t find a reason to connect them.
