So. Now I’m back at the Canaca site, I worked a lot behind the scenes and I basically mirrored the site on another host that I was using for my guild project. Depending on how the DNS nameservers are behaving you can be here, there and everywhere.

The story is that I passed the whole previous night taking screenshots from the test servers of World of Warcraft. Then I did the error to link them on the official forums. I monitored the situation for about ten minutes or so with around 180 users around the site, there weren’t problems so I logged out and went to sleep. When I woke up I found the hosting account suspended, by looking at the logs I figured out that it resisted for about an hour, then exploded.

While I was expecting some sort of answer from Canaca (they didn’t even send me an e-mail telling about the suspension) I worked to move the whole thing on another hosting account but when I was done the suspension was lifted, so I switched again the nameservers and here we are.

I’ve learnt that I must be more reserved about my stuff, that I need to make the site more portable (too many unique/broken links) and that this script is wonderful if when you try to import databases in mySQL you get this error I’ve seen too many times:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin-2.6.0-pl3/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 188

No more hours to copy/paste chunks of sql queries to help phpmyadmin digest them more easily. That script does everything on its own.

And please be nice on my poor site.

Follow-up:
