Hello to all subscribers and readers.
I’m Jared Rimer, I’m the main one who writes here on the technology blog and podcast. While I’ve not written much lately, I want to come in here today because there have been some downtime on this and my other blog, but this one is the most written on right now.
Recently, my moderator, Shaun Everess, E-mailed me this morning pacific time, to let me know of a blog outage. I was able to confirm and open a ticket within the hour of me being notified. This blog came back up within the half hour of me writing the ticket.
Let me explain what is going on here.
I can’t guarantee anything right now, but i can tell you that this is being monitored to figure out whats happening. Thanks for your continued support, and the JRN apologizes for any inconvenience this causes you.
The last time we had an outage, it was after an upgrade, but I can’t prove that because it wasn’t just this blog, and multiple accounts were effected. We’ll continue to keep you posted as soon as we know something. Thanks for your continued support, and Thanks Shaun for getting us alerted. Without you, I don’t think I’d notice a lot of the issues. Thanks bud for all your support.
Hi jared.
Thanks for the heart warming message I always appreciate knowing I am worth something.
One thing to note is just because the blog says its database connection is down doesn’t mean that the database can not be connected to or the database is dammage its just the general message to say services to wordpress are offline.
It doesn’t mean mysql is dead or php is dead or ccpanel is dead or wordpress is dead.
Jetpack said via email that it couldn’t get dns pingbacks so what basically wordpress is saying is that the server its hosted on or infrastructure is offline or in update mode.
It may be that updates to some componants are just taking a long time to do.
It would almost be worth to disable automatic updating and checking every couple months manually to see what has gone wrong.
It could simply be that something at the end of the update is not restarting the server or something is not compatible.
Wordpress errors to an offline server well there isn’t an error saying the server may be offline.
