Dcemu Is Alive Again

[wraggster]

Hi all well to those of you who are still visiting after the 6 days of downtime, Last Wednesday the server was running fine when i left it at 3.30pm but when i returned at 6pm there was a problem with MySQL, now normally the server fixes itself thanks to work Martin64 did on it to reset itself if the need arises, i left the server 3 hours but it didnt reset itself which was strange. I tried to reboot using putty but i couldnt connect.

So i went into the servers control panel and rebooted it through there, now heres where something strange happened because the server set itself into ReadOnly Mode (to those like me who dont have a clue what that means it basically means that the server is down.)

The timing of this was a major blow after the nearon 2 days downtime only a few weeks before when the server was restored because of problem some due to a phishing attempt on the network.

Our server admin and all around great guy Martin64 was away on holiday in London last week and only arrived home today. I sent tickets into the hosts but discussing the problem with Martin64 he was told the best solution was to backup and restore again. He has been running tests on the hardware to diagnose the problem but as of this time no clue as to what caused the hard drive to go into readonly mode.

To all the visitors to DCEmu UK i apologise profusely for the downtime, it hurts me just as much as an homebrew fan looking for the latest news and updates.

Im sure even the rivals to DCEmu UK will be glad to see us back as competition in the Homebrew and Emulation scene only makes for a stronger scene in the end.

Now hold on tight because we are going to be newsposting massively to ensure every release is posted.

again im sorry for the downtime but it was out of all our hands.

Lets get DCEmu UK back to normal asap.

Thanks as always for Martin coming to our side in our hour of need.

[brasssmunky]

[DarthPaul]

OH MY GOSH!!!
I open this site every day,it's the first site I open....I was going to kill myself! Lol,nah,but I don't know..the network is not the same without you..I missed you sooo much!
Welcome back everyone! And greetings! Love you all. :)

[Chameleon]

I love you too darth ;) , oh and wraggster, you are the man!!!

[Axelius]

hmm, yeah, I already began feeling like a smoker without a cigarette some days ago (I mean I'm not addicted to dcemu, I could stop right now :rolleyes: )

It's good to see you back :)

[FifthE1ement]

Glad to see you guys back! I run one of those competing sites (www.Moddz.com) and I had thought perhaps you had monetary issues. I had mentioned that I was willing to help out a bit to get you guys back up if that had been the case. Well, anyway congrats on getting everything back as I know first hand how it feels.

Regards,

FifthE1ement :thumbup:

[SpicyTempura]

Phew what a relief! You don't know what is there until its gone. I wasn't sure which psp news site could replace dcemu, there is none!

Great to have ya ^_^!

[Eyedunno]

You guys missed the new Wolf3D DS release that supports DLDI.

[zx-81]

glad to see dcemu is back !

[ALF]

yay back dcemu is back online!

[JPJunkie]

YES DCEmu is back I was gettin so bored with qj!

[cal360]

I'm glad we're back I was clinging onto the DCEMU IRC all day yesterday in hope of hearing any news on the problem and Martin64 and Wraggy have got us all back

[skulkk]

Had me sweatin' for a while there folks - great to have you back.

[gronne]

OH MY GOD!!! IM SO RELIEVED.. i was almost crying yesterday, i thought i was banned from the server or something, was trying to think what i did wrong, lol

Haha.. I had the same thought... was I banned because I had done something wrong? :D Wasn't my fault this time, haha.

[JPJunkie]

Haha.. I had the same thought... was I banned because I had done something wrong? :D Wasn't my fault this time, haha.

I thought I had been banned to until I found out I couldn't get onto the site with any computer lol:rofl:

[Codaz]

NICE that DCemu is back. Goh that was a long time. I drove to my vacation, went there almost a week, got back and still no DCemu :eek: :rofl:

But !, watch the server closely this next coming weeks as it MAY come down again !

[HaloJ]

Welcome back. You are one of the sites that I check every day. Missed you.

[mcdougall57]

i just poped over to qj until it came back online but im still glad its back

[Anger]

this has been said to death but welcome back.
heres hoping it stays this way. :)

[Sonicboy 101]

Welcome back DCEmu!
Is it fixed completely yet? I'm still getting network errors all over the place.

[Safari Al]

Wow that was a while! At least its back up agaain though!

[Psyberjock]

Finally back! I checked several times a day! I'm on my summer vacation now and I'm doing lots of coding and websurfing. =p Kinda sucks to need the resources of dcemu and not have them. I also felt resigned to pspupdates to find out what has been released, but I hate reading over there. Their articles feel so fake and out of touch. Some people have complained about the straight quotes, but I prefer the original words of the news to the rehashed Nutrasweet version I find over at pspupdates.

I have a website myself running portal software. I can't imagine the problems involved with a site with so much traffic. Good job guys!

[Triv1um]

Bah

[Sketchy]

6 Days??:eek:

I only noticed that you were down for a day, i actually have a life away from my PC :p

Anyways, welcome bk DCEmu! :thumbup:

Peace

[funem]

Nice to see you up and running again. Was getting a bit worried there for a moment. :-)

[Bane King]

I was sad to see it gone for such a long time.
I'm glad you are back an hopefully for good this time.
It make me a schmid nervous when my reliable PSP source is dead for such a long time.

I don't trust too many other sites.
Actually to be literal, I don't trust any of them.

Long live DCemu UK
I heart you guys.

[SmashinGit]

Hey Wraggster, thanks for your time and effort, it can't be easy running these websites. All that hard work that you put in is gratefully appreciated, welcome back Dcemu.

[Elmarco]

Felt like longer than 6 days......

[bah]

Henry Frankenstein: "Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!"

I may at last recover from my rocking back and fourth whilst sitting in a corner in the fetal position chanting 'all alone'.

:)

I'm very glad the best homebrew site on the web has returned.

[mike_jmg]

best psp news site back on track

thank you

[mfz64]

cool

[Gold Line]

yay we'r finally back online :D

i thought it was 3 days not 6.

[kjetil1991]

i almost lost hope

[mike03$$$]

Finally!!!!!!!!, I was getting tired of checkin qj

[VampDude]

About time too...

...At first I thought it was my browser! :mad:

[Harshboy]

I was wondering what was going on, I kept trying every day on all my different computer just to make sure Firefox wasn't being stupid.

It's great to be back :D

[bah]

If the site is ever down you can go to http://www.efnet.org/ and use the 'Webchat Quick Login' (or any proper IRC client) to join #dcemu and find out whats up.

[Shrygue]

I'm am so glad DCEmu is all up and running. I've been so bored to my back teeth not be able to log in, post news and check the status of the forums.

[mesosade]

yippe!!!! =D

[vbt]

good to see this site back again

[Mr. Shadow]

Yeah i just joined after watching this for awhile and i thought i drove you guys away or something. Please leave a note or somthing so we don't think we all got banned.

[Xiaopang]

nice to have dcemu back. btw, kinda disturbing to see how many people depend on this site...or may be it's just pathetic....

[Anger]

i dont know whats more pathetic - your excuses or the fact that you depend on this site as much as anyone - hypocrite.

[JKKDARK]

Yeah i just joined after watching this for awhile and i thought i drove you guys away or something. Please leave a note or somthing so we don't think we all got banned.
Remember: On any vbulletin board, when you're banned, a message in the center appears saying you were banned ;)

[wolfpack]

for a while i was having dcemu withdrawal speaking how i come to this site every single day for the news i need. glad to see its back up. some to go back to looking at the psp section :p

[NoQuarter]

Thank god your back,I had no home page for a while.

[Xiaopang]

i dont know whats more pathetic - your excuses or the fact that you depend on this site as much as anyone - hypocrite.

there's the difference to anyone: i don't depend on that site...don't call me a hypocrite just because you make up stuff...get a brain...

[Gizmo356]

Actually he was sort of right, 'hypocrite' was a very appropriate thing to call you.

[JPJunkie]

Anyway what we are saying is that we depend on DCEmu for Very reliable and up to date console news and we thank wraggster and Martin64 for all their hard work:thumbup:

[Vampbri-n]

lol so starts the famous dcemu drama

[Anger]

nah no drama - i crossed the line and am punished for it, and quite rightly so. i just felt that he was insulting other people for the very thing he was doing.

[Vampbri-n]

aleast your honset and wise about it good job in my opioin

[JPJunkie]

aleast your honset and wise about it good job in my opioin
