Rebuild of Permissions Table

Printer-friendly version

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

We should be back up and running fine now, please PM me or Piper with any more technical problems.

We had a problem in rebuilding the permissions database; people kept trying to access the site and caused the rebuild to go off the rails. That's why the first time we came back up, the permissions were kerflooey. Please, if you see the maintenance page, don't try to access the site for at least ten minutes.

It takes two minutes to just reboot and any other maintenance task is likely to take ten minutes or more. Rebuilding the permissions database took about 45 minutes and we had to do it twice, and the second time, we just blocked everyone from accessing Drupal/BCTS except me.

I've had to shut off the versioning feature for everyone except editors and admins, it just did not work correctly with authors having access to versions of their own stuff. But the versions are still there and if you have edited a story and want desperately to go back to a previous version, contact me or Sephrena and we should be able to revert it for you or email you a copy or something. Note the desperately in the previous sentence, don't ask us to do this for trivial reasons. :)

Hugs,
Erin
