Yes, it was down.
In the past Thursday night, Kie asked me to announce on the TS50’s Webboard that the college page was updated. I went to the webboard and posted the announcement. Accidentally, I clicked “post” while the announcement system was “close.”
BOOM!
All gone…
I kept refreshing the webboard. All I could see is an error massage. I cannot remember it exactly now, but it said cannot find something in a cache file.
Freaking out, I contacted Kie and Jeep. We had no idea how to correct this things. They were busy, so we decided to solve it later. I was busy too, actually, but I just couldn’t leave it. That night, ignoring my homework, I dug through the file system, looked through files. I didn’t understand the problem – what’s goin’ on here. Cannot do anything that night. My head was burning – ready to explode. I then went to sleep.
On Friday, I had two consecutive free periods. I came back to the webboard. I decided to look in the SQL database. Scanning through the database, I found that in the cache_system table, all data (430 data) is “เพื่อนๆ ครับตอนนี้หน้า College แก้ไข Major ได้แล้วนะครับ” WTF is that thing come from?
I then cleared cache. Then, I refreshed the site.
Yeah! It was back. Just one thing, all data was gone…
Luckily, I could log in to the Admin CP. I went to the system page and I found out the problem.
All system value was set to “เพื่อนๆ ครับตอนนี้หน้า College แก้ไข Major ได้แล้วนะครับ.” For example, in the box “How many post allowed per page?” it said ”เพื่อนๆ ครับตอนนี้หน้า College แก้ไข Major ได้แล้วนะครับ.”
I reverted everything back to default – manually – click by click. There were like 400 of them. Then I set everything back to what it had been.
Refreshed the site again… Yeah! It’s back!
Look like an easy track? Maybe… it took me at least four hours to solve it.
