Trying to launch ourmedia.org today
God bless MySql (setup properly).
God bless any programmer involved in this project.
God bless all the end-users pounding on the site - at this very moment.
Ah woe be it to mean Mr. Mustard - the error code I dread:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/ourmedia/htdocs/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 31
Too many connections
Yes indeed - setting up MySQL ‘properly’ is part of the deal. But at least nobody will be faced with that ugly as “password” dialog anymore.
We’re live - but barely.
So congrats to JD and the rest of the community. Hang in there while we bring stability to the land of free storage and bandwidth.
And thank you to all our clients - as without their money - we wouldn’t have been able to get this far.

I got involved this afternoon to help iron out some of the problems, and we have a path forward. Hopefully, recent changes mean the mysql errors are a thing of the past, and all you’ll see now is intermittent timeouts.
Those should similarly disappear once the site is moved over to a larger server, sometime in the next day or so.

Big congrats! I’m in with my Internet Archive login, and playing as much as I can, given the slowness (which I hope is just a good sign of a big positive response to the site).

Look at this… someone enabled comments. I’m looking forward to playing with ourmedia.org when things get up and going and a bit stable, but nice start.
