Dear Members,

Our Server GAMMA is undergoing a Hard drive change. Some sectors of the Hard disk were found to be inaccessible. We have identified this as an early sign of Disk failure and hence decided to replace the Hard drive.

The entire process involves :-
Purchasing a New drive.
Installing OS and CPanel on this new drive.
Switching it to server.
Copying accounts on this drive.
Mounting this drive as primary.
The entire process can take anywhere from 5-8 hours.

We will try our level best to restore things as fast as possible. Thank you for your support and assistance.
OpaQue.

I can open the cPanel for my site!
But its not looking nice and shows the version info as "cPanel X v2.6.0"
And my disk usage is showing as 0 MB ( It was around 60 MB) and MySQL size is showing as 0.02 MB ( It was greater than 30 MB)



If I try to open the site, then its showing like this


Will I get the files back?? and I don't have any database backup!!
How much time it will take to restore the accounts??

you should get everything back the way it was before everything happened!

what they do is install the os and apache/cpanel stuff onto the NEW drive then copy the accounts from the OLD drive over to the new drive, so at the moment, your accounts files have not been copied over. give them a while to copy them all over, OpaQue said it could take 5-8 hours to do!

what your saying is exactly what im getting also, and i think everyone is. so all we can do is be patient and wait for everything to get back into order!

I can open the cPanel for my site!

I cannot, my site simply does not respond. Hope that, as promissed, this will not last a lot.

Give it a day or two, it happend once before and in a days time it all gets back to how it was. Hdd change on a server takes time and effort which i assume the tech guys over at xisto are working hard. Wait for some time and hopefully things will get sorted out in time

Aah, it's working all fine for me, and I can say that I really appreciate the new cPanel theme (the default one, if I am not mistaken). The last one, while fully functional, just wasn't professional enough If there is anyone whose account still has some glitch - be patient, it will all be sorted out in a matter of hours, if not minutes.
