Downtime – We’re back!
Posted by John Campeaon 29. 06. 2005in News Chat
Hi everyone. Huge apologies for the downtime over the last few days, our last host suspended us for too much traffic – a terrible problem to have! – and we decided to move. Coupled with John’s desire to go to WordPress we struggled with a far from complete site so we decided to go back to MT and the old ways just so you it could be business as usual while we worked on a new system in the background.
However, things haven’t gone well and we’ve been struggling for days. Not only with getting the MT setup and usable again, but getting it to a state where we can rebuild without getting a 500 Internal Server Error, which seems to be due to timeouts. Never mind the fact that the Domain Name propogation seems to be taking an age too.
Update: We’re back to close as we can be. We’ve had to drop a little bit of functionality in order to keep going, but we’re about there. If there are any MovableType experts out there who are really strong on sorting out long build times, etc then drop me (richard@themovieblog.com) a note.
Plan is to run as we are, and in our spare (?!) time John and I will get WordPress operational in the background. Once it’s ready we’re going to try a seamless swap. Ahem. Welcome back to you!

Welcome back. :)
Can’t function for the day without blabbing my big mouth on this site. I had to go over to shitty Yahoo sites for movie news and blogs. I love this site, it’s great to have ya back!
