The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

I apologise for the downtime since last evening. The web server (nginx) crashed, and I was not around to bring it up and perform a proper analysis until this morning.

Well, what happened was a misconfigured log rotation module that failed to perform log rotation for certain processes, leading to a disk-full situation. Well, I have learnt my lesson and added disk space monitoring as part of the server maintenance routine. Boy, I still have lots to learn.

I am passing free virtual beer around for all who couldn't log into TPFC during the down time. Cheers!

Here are some virtual pretzles, too! It's good to be back!

That's not necessary. It was a quite evening with zero (0) spam in forum posts and comments Keep up the good work

Good to up again the site.

I always access this site and I very sad that I can't access it yesterday.

Thank you TPFC!

Burp! Thanks for the beer.

I was kinda shocked as the site wasn't accessible. Thanks for your work Andrew!

Maybe it was said to soon! It was a little strange in that it didn't work (connection error,) then it showed "website can't be accessed" and then back to connection error again. I thought maybe you had finally decided to shut down TPFC?!

A big ?

Anyone knows what happened?

Andrew explains in the first post, a loose log file filled up the disk.

Hydaral, I am Baas was referring to the major outage yesterday which Andrew responded to in a new topic. I am Baas wrote here because users don't have rights to create new topics in the news section & it doesn't fit anywhere else but here.
