Title: TECHNICAL ISSUES
Post by: MightyGiants on March 15, 2024, 06:28:48 PM
We had a major technical problem late this afternoon.  The site is running now, but I am not comfortable with how I got it up and running (the site is now throwing massive error messages, and I fixed that by turning off the error messages).   If it crashes again, it could be down for days, and there may be a need for major repairs etc

Please note, if things go south I will update the BBH Twitter and BBH Facebook to keep everyone updated.

BBH Facebook? I searched for BBH and Big Blue Huddle but came up blank. Can you explain? 

I don't do Twitter/X.

Rich is working on it with Tim. It could go down again until they find the cause.

UPDATE-  I believe I have the site somewhat stable.   That said, there is a weird issue with our web host where they reconfigure our site (randomly), and the site crashes until I redo the issue.   I have a 2 hour walk today and a party so I will not have the time to dig deeper into this issue with our hosting company (likely tomorrow I will).  So it's possible the site can go down for a stretch until I can get home access to the backend and undo their changes.

Overall, I am feeling better about the technical issues right now, but we are not quite out of the woods.

Rich,

Thank you for this update, and thank you for the work you and others are doing on this. It is significantly appreciated.

Have all the issues been resolved Rich? Andrew can't get on because TapaTalk is disabled.

The issues are still in flux.  There seems to be a file the system adds at 3 in the morning that causes the site to generate issues or crash.  I am trying to resolve that issue.  Once that is fixed, I will focus on Tapatalk (Andrew should be able to get on by just coming directly to the site).

I might play around this afternoon with Tapatalk, but my experience says it's best to address problems one at a time rather than simultaneously.  If something goes wrong, I won't know exactly what change caused the problem.

I see Andrew had issues logging in.  We can reset his password if he needs us to

Still have an issue with the hosting company editing things in the middle of the night which creates instability.   I am working with Tim (T200) to try to figure out the issue.

I think I may have a solution.  After work, I am going to try something that may eliminate the 4 in the morning issue.   There is some risk, so don't be alarmed if the site is offline at some point late afternoon or early evening.


If I am successful, then I can start looking at the Tapatalk issue.

Looks like the big problem is fixed.  Now I have to look at Tapatalk
Title: Re: TECHNICAL ISSUES
Post by: MightyGiants on March 19, 2024, 11:30:16 AM
Okay, I reinstalled Tapatalk and it works


At this point, I consider all issues resolved and we are back to running normal

I alerted Andrew. I'm going to try working with Tapatalk for a bit to test it. Before it wasn't compatible with the latest upgrade.
