WE ARE NOW BACK UP AND RUNNING.
sorry guys but the time had to come when i have to close the whole site and forum down, due to ever increasing bandwith and popularity i have no option than to upgrade to a much newer faster server with all the lastest software releases.The Hosts will close this server down and i have to backup everything tonight and reinstall to the new server.I'm hoping it will be down for a maximum of 24 hours.last time i redid the database i had to reinstall all the posts manually which took me days, i'm hoping this doesn't happen.
see you soon and apologies for the inconvenience!

An external hdd doesn't help him backup and restore a database. lolScott221 wrote:Ive got one of those external 320 gig HD drives if you need to borrow it let me know.

Re: ZXRWORLD CLOSING DOWN
Maybe i'm miss-informed, but when I backed up all my files to an external hardrive, it helped me restore some toad..Wabby wrote:An external hdd doesn't help him backup and restore a database. lolScott221 wrote:Ive got one of those external 320 gig HD drives if you need to borrow it let me know.

Re: ZXRWORLD CLOSING DOWN
well what a bloody nightmare!!!!
problem after problem, i've been sat on this every hour possible, i am hoping all is working now.
apologies for the downtime, i think we may have lost a days posting due to the hosts not phoning me b4 they closed the old server so apologies for that and for anyone joining that may need to join again.
please pm me immediately if you find any problems.
if anything goes wrong now i'll have to renew the lot.
fingers crossed!!!

Re: ZXRWORLD CLOSING DOWN & now back up and running
Looks like 4 days worth of posts gone, not to worry. We can soon fill it up again.
