500 Victories
 

Tentatively, I'm declaring victory over the "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Errors" everyone has come to know and love. I know, I'll be sad to see them go too.

The actual problem, and the steps it took to find it, are in my latest blog post: http://www.bailopan.net/blog/?p=855

I'm going to continue to monitor for website problems over the next few weeks.

Note that major portions of our site are still down, for example, the bug tracker. As mentioned in the last post, we didn't have full backups, so I'm waiting for a professional recovery service to try and restore our data. Hopefully it won't be much longer, they claim to be wrapping up.

Once I know more, I'll post again about the recovery progress and future plans. I really appreciate everyone's patience and generosity. Thanks for your support!

That's awesome! Great work you two!

Developement on plugins is going to speed up now, since we don't have to wait for the forums or check google cache for answers anymore.

You wrote something about a new table fasten the plugin searches. Were there more changes to enhance the search? Like searching for "player votes" doesn't return anything but "players votes" does?

Thanks for going that deep. Looks like a proof again, that you shouldn't put a script up, until you optimized the queries - expecting it to be used by a large bunch of people.

Congrats on finally getting down to the real problem!

This news is most excellent.

Many times I find myself using Google to search for plugins because of this.

Awesome! Good job :)

Unfortunately I didn't change the search logic. You're absolutely right, the search logic is total clownshoes. It's better to use the vBulletin search.

Work on a new plugin tool is on-going. We'll see what happens, but worst case, I'll just hook into vB's search instead.
