In-House computer problems

On Monday morning the power supply on my primary computer failed.
My system is under warranty but will take 3-5 days before I'm back on my computer and can get to any website development.
My last full backup was just 6 weeks ago and all of my drives are intact, so nothing is lost but productivity.

Cheers...

FileMaker Web server back on-line!

At last, my FileMaker Server is available again.

 

My host, dbdom.com, has had to move my account to a new server so have to re-install my databases and licenses but it has taken over 3 weeks.

 

I have been told that because of performance issues they now recommend 2 servers to publish using IWP (internet web publishing).  Although I agree that I want better performance I can’t justify the additional cost at this time.

 

Currently all of by web applications use IWP, a better alternative is PHP publishing but I am still learning to use it.  I will be testing PHP publishing with the Gebhardt on-line quotes in the coming weeks.

Web Application server is down

The FileMaker web server hosting service dbdom.com was recently purchased by M9 Systems and on 22^nd Jan, 09 they had a “general system failure” and went completely off-line.

This was the message I received this morning.

 

“They are not able to repair a configuration, only replace - they are also deciding if we are even going to offer the 1 server version for web publishing as the 2 server version is the only reliable IWP solution -

 

More time will be needed before the options are announced - if you are on our active list at the end of the month, there will be no charge to continue in February -  we will go over options as soon as they are fully available – “

So the result is that in order to keep th same service, I will need to lease 2 servers instead on one.  They said they would tell me my options next week.
