Thu, 13 Feb 2020 18:09:31 +0000 #

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 15:08:00 +0000 #

We believe that all systems are up and running now. There was a power outage for the whole area that our data centre is in and then the UPS for our rack (which is due to have replacement batteries by the end of the month) didn't manage to provide power for quite long enough to allow the backup generator to start up and therefore all our servers lost power. Once power was restored we needed to do a filesystem check on the router before decrypting and bringing up the storage array and once that was up we were able to bring up all the virtual servers, sorry that this all took a while, this is the first time in well over a decade that we have had an issue like this.

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 13:34:00 +0000 #

We hope to have all services restored by 2pm.

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 12:39:45 +0000 #

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 16:28:13 +0000 #

We have just generated a new TLS certificate for mail1.ecohost.coop so the problems when connecting to the mail server using the old Ecohost settings should now be resolved. However it would be better if people did update their email clients to use the webarch.email settings

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 13:59:41 +0000 #

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 16:55:09 +0100 #

We are very sorry about the connectivity issues we have had today with all our services hosted in Sheffield, this was due to an inadequate temporary replacement router, we now have a second replacement router one in place and are currently doing some testing on it, we hope it will sufficient as a temporary solution while we source and provision a pair of new replacements.

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 10:29:50 +0100 #

Restoration of all the virtual servers in Iceland is now looking hopeful, the lastest from @1984ehf: "24 hours ago we thought that nearly all VPS data was corrupt beyond repair. We have since found a way to restore disks from the VPSs. This means that we will be able to retrieve data from a lot of the VPS disks and we will help every one of our VPS customers to find their data.".

Thu, 16 Nov 2017 12:32:36 +0000 #

We don't yet know if the virtual servers in Iceland can be restored, see @1984ehf for the latest news on this. We are starting to restore sites that were hosted on host-b.ecodis.net, from backups, to shared servers in Sheffield.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:35:10 +0100 #

mail1.ecohost.coop is now up again.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:26:27 +0100 #

The file system check on mail1.ecohost.coop is 53% complete and might take another hour or two to complete, then that server will come up again. The server that was running several CentOS servers, cat.webarchitects.co.uk, which had an uptime of 2017 days, had two RAM chips fail after the move, after removing them the server still won't boot, so we moved the disks into another server and used a rescue disk to repair the RAID 0 boot partition on all the disks. The server that the disks from cat are now running in doesn't have enough RAM to run the virtual servers, so we are now copying the partitions over the network to our FreeBDS ZFS file server and when that is completed we will start them up on xen1.webarch.net. This means that it is going to be quite a few hours before these servers are up:

• The mail.webarch.net Webarchitects mail server
• The Mailman server which hosts email-lists.org and several other domains
• Our Gitosis server
• Our MKDoc server

Sorry for the downtime.

Sat, 16 Sep 2017 01:49:04 +0100 #
