Down, Upgraded and Up
Sep 6th, 2008 by papabear
Kisahberuang.com was down for about 10 hours today due to, according to the hosting company, SQL exceeded some limits bla bla bla… I believed many regular visitors were getting the site not found or something not found error. That was bad. Really bad! Thank God I was busy at work today and therefore, less time to nag the hosting people. Apparently, all of their customers were affected too. Duh!
When it finally went up, I found that only the main domain was up. My family blog and my wife’s online shopping blog that are hosted on the sub-domains of Kisahberuang.com were still down. The default answer given by the hosting people is, “Still checking for solution…” Duh!
I hate waiting and do nothing while some people were looking for solution. I didn’t even think that they are still working at midnight anyway. So, I decided to take the matters into my own hands. While going through the cPanel and Fantastico, I noticed that the upgrade to Wordpress 2.6.1 option was available. Therefore, without hesitation, I upgraded this blog.
Well that was not the solution to the sub-domains problem. I continued my quest and still I could not find anything missing even after I compared each files from the sub-domains to the main domain. Everything looked normal. As if I knew what to look for…
That called for drastic action! I deleted all the sub-domains and added them back with the same name hoping that it would just know where to get whatever necessary to bring back my other blogs. I remembered reading somewhere that the DNS needs time to refresh so, I left them alone for awhile.
Believe it or not! All my sub-domain blogs are back online now.
Any advise from any expert out there?

cool. glad you were able to get back online and your blogs still be there. thanks for letting me know wp2.6.1 is now avail..i was waiting. didn’t want to do the manual upgrade.
DNS need about 12-72 hours sometimes.

Is this your first time having problem with your hosting, klu 2 3 kali better tukar je lah hehe
