RentVine Site Down For A Few Hours Today

Around 2pm today I started getting automated emails from my error exception page telling me that something was wrong with the connection to my database server.

I was returning home from picking my oldest from school when this happen and when I got home my site was no where to be found! Stress me out!

I called my hosting company CrystalTech right away and asked them what happened. Over the weekend I had switched from Coldfusion 7 to Coldfusion 8 but got 100’s of errors so I had them switch me back to 7 a few days later. But an automated script came along today at 2pm and erased my entire site from the Coldfusion 7 server because it thought I had moved on to 8.

So I worked with the CrystalTech team (thanks to Josh and Justin for helping) and we rebuilt the entire site in about 3 to 4 hours. The site was mostly running after an hour and a half.

After this I’m ready to move the site on to my own box where this can never happen again.

I have run RentVine through many test but not all my tests yet, so if you see anything wrong please shoot me an email. Thanks to those who emailed me when it happen.
