I got really worried when the server went down, around 60 people depend on the website being up for us to be able to play properly on the MMORPG we play. So I decided to start up my own server in desperation.
I was using Fedora Core 3 to start with, I had installed it on a P4 2.4Ghz computer about a year ago and just stopped using it after a while. I tried installing phpMyAdmin and phpBB2 but it just wouldn't connect to their respective databases. I checked the version of mySQL and it was something like 3.x.x which is pretty old and insecure so I tried to install a newer version but for some reason it wouldn't let me uninstall the current server.
I decided to scrap it all and download Fedora Core 4. Once I got it up and running I checked the version again and it was 4.1.x (I plan to upgrade to 5.0 soon). I then created some databases for the forums and phpMyAdmin and they worked yay!
At the minute i've got these installedI learnt alot of valuable information from doing all of this. Mostly about using mysqladmin and mysql from the console.
Current uptime!
And there you have it, what I did this weekend when the servers went down
what did you do?
On a side note i'd like to thank bondings for the effort he is puting into sorting out our accounts!
