Interesting story - the problems we are having now have to do with structural database problems. Originally, Invision thought that I took a 1.3 database and tried to use it with 2.0.2. But I insisted our old database was 2.0.2 as we had upgraded already. They tried working on it, but had no luck, and wrote me back again today telling me that it still looks like a 1.3 database. So, the problem may be, I backed up the wrong database. However, there's only one database on the server we're on. But...when we first upgraded to 2.0.2 and we couldn't get a lot of people online, they talked about moving our database to another server...so...maybe our database is sitting there on another Invision server and it hasn't been backed up, it hasn't been gzipped, and it hasn't been moved to the new server. Oh, what fun! So right now they're going to look into where my database might be living within the Invision server farm and if that's the problem, I should just be able to move it over (should take a day) and we might be up and running. If not, they're going to do extensive work on the database and who knows how long that'll take.

It's a conspiracy!
No it's actually a series of clues imbedded in the error message that will lead us to undiscovered treasure!!
Oh wait, that's a movie I just saw.
sigh, thanks for everything you're doing. I did not realize the level of friendships I had with people on SD-1 until now. Hopefully this will all be resolved soon and you can go get some hair dye for your new grey hairs. Nah, they are a sighn of wisdom, least that's what I tell myself...

Jeez! Blake, hang in there. We're all behind you. Let's hope it's the easier of the 2 options and we're all back "home" soon. I miss everyone!

Haven't we just about had every problem possible?! Blake, we all feel the frustration. Hang in there.
I hope you're giving those Invision guys a real grilling- their service is beyond incompetent!!
Are they mad that we're not hosting there anymore? ;) There didn't seem to be problems with the database before, right? *sighs*
Fingers crossed that your next post is good news. :)

oh man, this muct be so frustrating for you. I hope this gets solved soon and that they find the database somewhere on their server.
But I'm inclined to believe this is all rambaldi's fault. :( <0>
Anyway, I already knew I had a hard time doing without SD and this month has been really rough. *cries*
Hope it solves soon and you ca stop worrying about it so much.

We're drawing close to our 47th day offline... My theory is, Blake is like Sloane - trying to be all "I'm saving the world," but he's intentially crashing the server...only to bring it back up and be the hero...in some type of world domination plan he's contrived. :shifty: Hehe...J/K. :) I love you Blake! It really stinks that you have to be dealing with this every day. I hope Invision can fix the problem soon! You've heard this a lot lately, but thanks for everything you do to keep us SD-1ers online...and get us back online. :) You rock!

Hey Blake.
OK... all information you put there... it's different language to me... so I don't understand anything, except that it's sooooooooooooo complicated and you are trying your best to fix it.
Thanks so much!!!!! I'm sure it will be fixed soon... somehow... may be we need Marshall... no?
