LR.org was down

[Steve Midgley]

Hi,

The website www.learningregistry.org was down recently due to a database error. The site is back up and we're working to correct the problem longer-term. A couple people asked me recently if LR as a project was being disbanded due to the site being down: that's not true -- LR is still an active OSS project and community.

I hope everyone has a nice long weekend!

Yes - we are trying to fix this permanently. The MySQL server underneath Wordpress is reporting running out of transaction log space yet whenever we look at the disk, it's 90% free, so a little baffled as to what's going on. Probably the best way to fix is to move this site onto wordpress.com! :)

Any input/suggestions welcome and apologies for the repeated downtime.

Thanks for the notification. I just brought it back up. We're having trouble with mysql stopping on it. Hopefully we'll get it taken care of soon. Thanks. ... .joe

It's been awhile since I've touched mysql config, but could it be that it's using an odd or possibly transient (i.e., memory-based) space for tx logs? I think the default location is /var/lib so it would be weird for a hoster to treat that as transient, but if you mod the config to point to a physical disk that's known to have space, that might be a workaround. Where is the system hosted?

On amazon ec2. It's mounted on a local disk so I'm pretty sure it's not a transient space but that was my first thought too.. Thanks for the support and hopefully we'll figure it out. I'm going to see if migrating away from self-hosting might just be the easiest solution..
