Title: Website downtime
Post by: dimitris on April 29, 2009, 11:39:58 PM
Dear friends of Arillas ( and mine)
Our website  was down today the 29th Apr 2009 due to a serious  technical problem of the hosting server .
There was a hard disk failure of the machine's disk that the operating system is running we were very lucky that the second disk where the data of  the websites is stored was still OK and no data  was lost  ( hopefully).

I need to apologize on behalf of my hosting provider for the inconvenience .
I must say although I live in Arillas it was still not easy without our website even for these few hours.

Kalinichta everyone now
If you notice any problems  please point them by  posting in here


Dimitris
 
PS:The chatroom is not working  I'll try and fix this later.

Dear Dimitris
Thanks for the update. There were a lot of panic posts on Facebook today! We have no right, but many of your members (and friends) feel lost without arillas.com, and must thank you for working so hard to keep us all in touch. I can put my anorak back on now....

see you soon
Phil

Many thanks for the hard work Dimitris. Hard disk crash - ouch!

We were getting very worried - Phil was having "nervous meltdown" (comparethemeerkat.com!).

Yes, he is still wearing his anorak!

lol! Jen

Me too was at a loose end yesterday trying to load the page every now and then. Good to hear that the hosting  server didn't blow up totally and that you had the info backed up, phewwwww..... :o

But it was scary to notice how dependent I really am :P

Just wanted to add my thanks for all your efforts to get us back to normal service Dimitris :-)
Like Erja said, it's quite an eye opener when you realise how dependent you are on this fabulous website - & particularly now that I'm starting to get a wee bit better - it's been a godsend & tonic at the same time.

You're a star!

BeckyB x :-)

Hi all, pleased to read it was a techical problem with web site. I thought i'd done something wrong and broke our laptop. I even phoned bt for help as i'm just learning and thought i was getting better. I wiped off anything i didnt use to see if it would fix the problem. So glad to read it wasnt myfault. We had to talk to each other for a while, it was nice to catch up!
