Techy problems behind the scenes
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve been having database problems. If I’m not ‘here’ then you know where I’ve gone. To say it sucks is an understatement. I’m able to login in at the moment but for how long is another issue entirely.

Good luck getting everything sorted, Rob.
Hope you do so soon.
Thanks David, nightmare is the only word that fits.
How did you end up in that mess? Were you making changes to the site? Hosting?
Something to do with Mysql 5 and the OS. I had all the right permissions but it behaved in a way that suggested I hadn’t, byt not allowing me to update giving me read only permission errors. The host kept telling me that it was ok suggesting I contact WP, and I kept telling them it wasn’t. Eventually one of their number found some bug issue with mysql 5 and 64 bit Os’s and fixed it.Better late than never. 🙂
