I wasn't able to access the site yesterday. I was getting this error message: "500 - Internal server error"

So was I when I tried to access this site yesterday. I think I saw two different error pages during the day, but the message was the same.

G'day Chaps,

It looks like everything is okay at the moment. I am out of town until tomorrow night but when I get home I will check everything. How long was the site inaccessible for?

G'day Brad, the site was down for about one or two days from my memory.

Chris

Unreachable for between 12 and 24 hours in my case.

The fact that people have been receiving error messages means the connections are okay and that something may have happened on the server itself.

It seems okay at the moment but I will keep an eye on things.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the site went down today, for a couple of hours around lunchtime. I tried loading the page several times around mid-day, only to get a server error.

One of the things I've been working on for the past few days is the password retrieval service. When I upgraded security on the mail server about two months ago I didn't think to check that this website may no longer be able to communicate with it - lesson learned for the future.

The good news however is that there is now a brand new script running this function and despite taking a few days to get going the way I want it, it is now working well.

There will be a few more slight upgrades to the site over the next few weeks with some more noticeable than others. Hopefully there will be fewer interruptions though.
