Royal mess up!
It seems that today while modifying the database user permissions on sensorbase, I inadvertently screwed up the permissions for all database connections originating from the sensorbase machine. (The backend database is kept on a separate machine and therefore is more restrictive on which users can log into it remotely) The problem probably happened somewhere around 5-7pm today while I was finishing up some work, which explains why no one had contacted me asking what the hell happened when they saw a bunch of errors come up while accessing the site. It is now midnight and as a temporary fix, I’ve brought up the old database server that runs locally on the sensorbase machine to handle incoming data. Please note that while we’re back on this server, your more recent data won’t be visible, and it might take some time to get data stored after this point back onto the main database once this whole mess is over. Since the backend machine is maintained in another department, it might be a while before we can get access to that machine again. I apologize profusely for this error on my part, and will do everything in my power to try and get this fixed as soon as possible.
Sorry again,
Keith
