All, Had a strange one today. Using dotproject + mysql for online project management. I ran across, or should I say it ran across me, this problem.
I just spent 5 hours entering all of our projects and planned projects, forums etc into the box. Most of the users had signed in. Things where going well. I then moved over to install some bug tracking software got it up and restarted mysql so that the database for the bug traking software would take. My database (for dotproject) reset to where it was BEFORE I started all of this and midway after the last restart I had to do. AAAAAAAAAAA I hadn't even had time to back it up yet. What I'd like to know is why something like this would happen. (Note some of the retained data was also entered by me so it isn't a user/permissions problem.) I had also checked the validity of the database directly and it all looked good. Until the restart. Restart method: /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start Box is Mandrake 7.1 dutifully updated kernel-2.2.15-4mdksecure apache-1.3.22-1.4mdk MySQL-3.22.32-5.1mdk php-4.0.6-5.1mdk mod_php-4.0.6-5.1mdk Any ideas? (I'm setting up a cron to mirror this database just in case it does it again) James (sitting and whimpering in the corner)
