Throughout parts of Sunday, November 9, and most of Monday, November 10, we experienced downtime on webscribble.com. For that, we apologize. This was an unusual event that resulted from a failed hard drive.
On Sunday we began seeing error messages on the main webscribble.com server indicating that some hardware may have been going bad. We immediately began transferring files to a new server. Unfortunately, the hard drive failure degraded quickly and we began to experience downtime while transferring files. It ultimately caused so many problems that our entire web server went down.
Luckily, we had a backup of all our files so it was just a matter of transferring them all. We finished transferring the files on Monday and simply waited for the DNS to propagate to the new server which took several hours. While we’re still working on fixing a few lingering issues, the majority of our site is back up and operational.
Again, we apologize for the unexpected downtime and any inconvenience while you tried to access our site yesterday. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
