today's issues

tracy	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 12:51 PM The server which hosts our database, as well as the database for several other sites, experienced a hardware error due to a bad cable for the primary hard disk, at approximately 9am this morning. It took some time to locate the exact source of trouble, but the cable has been replaced, the server rebooted, and we are live once again. We are in the process of mirroring our database to avoid having such a centralized failure occur again. We at DMusic would like to thank for bearing with us through our downtime.
kingo	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 12:53 PM I think the user pages are still down. Or something. I can't get to 'em, anyway.
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 12:57 PM Still checking, but I think everything's up and running, Tracy. And thanks for letting us know. Shall I let the usual suspects out of the interrogation room now?
imemine	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 12:57 PM I think Kingo unplugged the cable!
kingo	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 12:59 PM I still can't get to any of the .net pages. And if it were me who unplugged the cable you'd not have found it so quickly.
imemine	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 1:01 PM Odd---they seem to be working for me.
imemine	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 1:05 PM Well----except for Kingo's . net!
kingo	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 1:07 PM None of 'em are working for me. No worries, when I wander back in again in 2009 it'll be something else I can't do. Where's my partridge?
imemine	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 1:09 PM No partridge today. Would you like some ? Good to see you nonetheless, I'll mark my calendar for 2009 then! See ya then!
celtaidd	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 2:06 PM OK, where have I gone? Cant get me user page!
bmccosar	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 2:54 PM My homepage seems to have reached that point of Zen as well . . . no-self.
kingo	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 3:12 PM Still can't access the .net pages, hours later and on a different computer and different network. In case this info. helps with anything. Oh, the other cable's inside the masonry blocks of the wall of the server room.
DeadraveN	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 3:14 PM I'm in a boat with Kingo . no .net pages.. tried clearing my cache and everything
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 3:18 PM DeadraveN, I can't access yours, either. It just timed out on me. I can reach kingo, bmccosar, and celtaid, though.
fireball87	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 3:38 PM I had that problem, but cleared my cache/cookies/everything and re logged in and it worked. Then again, I got .net pages working too, though i have no clue how that happened...
celtaidd	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 4:43 PM Cleared cache, different browser (Firefox, Opera, and IE ( ) Same problem; I dont exist
K3VIN	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 4:45 PM yea i cant get to user pages
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 4:52 PM It's not your browsers-- just be patient, they're working on it now. Of course, it never hurts to do a little housekeeping.
celtaidd	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 4:57 PM ShadowMom, you've an honest face, so I'll trust you
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 5:02 PM I'm not having any trouble accessing your page at all. I keep trying it, hoping something will click. Let me get out some magic dust while I'm at it... ahhhh-CHOOOO!!
celtaidd	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 5:18 PM Admins are Gods after all You dont even need browsers to see us all
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 5:31 PM
bmccosar	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 5:55 PM Still invisible.
celtaidd	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 7:04 PM Did someone post after ShadowMom or was I seeing things
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 7:22 PM I C U... well not really, but then I can't get to my page now, either.
celtaidd	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 7:30 PM What page? according to my files you dont exist Please check your bank account details, Mortgage account, national insurance, and birth certificate
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 7:31 PM That's just what I want you to think...
hate9wicket	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 7:33 PM I can't dl or stream...Poopy! I was gonna work on the cover thingy...
bmccosar	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 7:35 PM Problem is, as far as paranormal activity goes, we're looking at a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
jack	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 9:52 PM Problem should be fixed now after hours of panicing and international phone calls!
bmccosar	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 10:10 PM Thank you, jack! I was missing DMusic. I didn't realize I'd grown an additional appendage until it became severed.
ShadowMom	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 10:27 PM Now, about that Twinkie...
imemine	Date: March 26, 2007 @ 10:50 PM
Rodrica	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 4:17 AM DM breakdowns are good once in a while...it's the only time I get to cut my lawn
farfor44	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 8:44 AM The only problem I'm experiencing now is the Journal edit and add new..It just doesnt work.....so my journal is empty for the first time since I came to Dmusic in 05..Maybe that will be fixed soon
ShadowMom	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 9:50 AM Farfor44's journal is working. He just tried to use arrow keys, and that won't work. Edit and add new are both working.
leflaw	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 11:07 AM I told you it was a DNS issue!!!
ShadowMom	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 11:10 AM Damn Nuisance Syndrome? I've heard of it.
aflunky	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 3:52 PM WELL DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!!! :GROWLANGRILY: I AM A PAID SUBSCRIBER AND IF I AM PAYING FOR A SITE THAT BREAKS DOWN MORE THEN MYSPACE AND TOILET HUMOR, I'LL GO TO E, F, OR GMUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BBAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDD!!!!!!!!! Damn, I couldn't keep a straight face I can't stay mad at you . Besides, I heard G Music is owned by Google Damn, I'm on a roll!
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 5:36 PM Indeed, Lef... this is a DNS issue, not a hardware issue as such. We've seen this happen before. Some .net pages are accessible, ones that you might've been looking at just prior to the issue, .com pages are definitely working fine (music, forum, community pages) so it's waiting for the issue to resolve itself again... unless of course the server error(s) keep occurring, as it seems to be happening the last couple of days or so. Has anyone tried the HOSTS workaround? Those who know it know what I'm on about, can't be arsed to try explaining it and some n00b would undoubtedly screw their settings up.
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 5:37 PM correction a hardware issue may have started it but it's not the reason for this fault.
tsand20175	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 5:44 PM ..for some reason I can't connect to half the pages here. This is one of them http://jessy.dmusic.net/ I get a message, "server can't be found"
Distilled1	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 6:30 PM I did it
celtaidd	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 6:36 PM Yes, I confirm Distilled did it, cos I saw him do it
tsand20175	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 7:24 PM wow...this is nuts.. out of 32 people in my buddy list, I can only connect to 2
leflaw	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 7:33 PM We had it fixed late night .. It brok e again today...
aflunky	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 8:45 PM Bad Leflaw, BAAAAADDDDDD! It's ok, You can still go to my page
bmccosar	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 9:08 PM Any minute now, someone from Star Trek: Voyager is going to beam in and explain this all away with dekyon emissions or anti-chronon beams.
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 27, 2007 @ 10:34 PM Rich owned up, so it would be easier to blame Distilled than to get technical. I recommend a thorough spanking for the naughty young chap
Rodrica	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 5:35 AM No net side at all here. Looks like I'll be mowing the lawn again today...
evansorchid	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 5:51 AM Ze Ghostie en ze macheen es bach.
ShadowMom	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 6:57 AM Same problem, always seems to affect the same people. I'm having no trouble accessing any part of the site so far.
Dexter	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 7:01 AM That's because you're "special"
DavidBeard	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 7:23 AM What a complicated 'Artist' setup website it is!
DavidBeard	Date: March 28, 2007 @ 7:24 AM I'll come back later. David Beard Music Production http://www.davidbeardmusic.com
TameasDust	Date: March 30, 2007 @ 4:25 AM Maybe a will clear them
Orion	Date: March 30, 2007 @ 4:39 AM i can't upload
DavidBeard	Date: November 17, 2008 @ 11:28 AM I've been a way for a while but thought I'd take a quick peek at this site once more and upload a few cues - Still finding it one of the most difficult sites to navigate and get to hear or go where I want - I'll come back another day - perhaps a few shots of whiskey before hand may help! Best wishes. David. http://www.davidbeardmusic.com

GeneHilbert	Date: November 17, 2008 @ 6:27 PM Dude.......! (people hate it when I address them as Dude.....! Hey it's better than Marguerite....!) davidbeardmusic.com Dude.........! It's only hard to navigate this site when you're not here long enough to figure it out. Look at your history...... You're never here..... Hell......! every damn site is like that.... So send some time here and I won't call you Marguerite......!
Distilled1	Date: November 17, 2008 @ 8:02 PM "It's only hard to navigate this site when you're not here long enough to figure it out." Yep!! Its so Basic and easy here compared to other sites heck there's even a big UPLOAD music NOW! link on the right of all the tabs in a different color.. David what do you find hard? let us know, do you want pop up flash stuff? I know the file manager is pretty ancient but it works fine the RED my DMusic edits both your User and Artist page (unlike many sites that you MUST have a separate artist and user account... I HONESTLY WANT TO KNOW! WHAT MAKES THIS SITE HARD TO NAVIGATE?? let us know... WHAT EXACTLY THE ISSUE IS! PLEASE!! I really am begging PLEASE! others say the same, and hell I am an old guy no IT guru, I find this site super easy to navigate, maybe because I spend more than 2 minutes here?
Tattoomom	Date: November 17, 2008 @ 9:04 PM Here's another one....
GeneHilbert	Date: November 17, 2008 @ 9:11 PM Cute kid....... I think he'll grow up to be someone......
Opossum	Date: November 17, 2008 @ 9:41 PM On 17th Nov 2009, Tattoomom said: Here's one for you.... Wow! I think I remember this poster! Isn't that Susan Dey? I had it back when I was about 9 or 10! Memories! That was like, I think the 1930s or early 1940s? Right? Susan Hallock Dey! Or was it Hemlock?
zedsalt	Date: November 18, 2008 @ 9:12 AM DMusic's own justinother1 turned me on to my fave Danny Bonaduce (sp?) performance. It was in an infomercial wherein he was subjected to all sorts of physical pain by a martial arts master who kept referring to Danny by his full name, as in: "That really hurts, doesn't it Danny Bonaduce? You cannot move in any direction, can you, Danny Bonaduce?" "Gah! That's right, Master Sai. Urk! If I'm not perfectly...unk!...still, the pain is incredible!"
Opossum	Date: November 18, 2008 @ 9:31 AM Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
ChillinBuzz	Date: November 18, 2008 @ 12:46 PM I still find Soundclick harder to navigate and I've spent plenty of time there... But that's just me.
