We will be back shortly

Two mails within 15min of each other flew into my mail account today, both pointing out that the S.A. Architect site was down in some areas. The main page and discussions were fine, but logging in was impossible as were some admin sections.

What had happened was that we ran out of disk space on the drive the mySQL databases for the site are on and the watchdog table had corrupted.

A quick cleanup of the disk, a one line command to repair the table and boom we are back up and running :D

Special thanks to Willy-Peter and Mashudu Nemukula who let me know of the issue!
