12:45am: Trade Me site back

Written by Trade Me staff at 12:45am, Tue 25 Aug 2009

And we’re back, what a night. We had some issues this evening that affected our database clustering software at one of our data centres. This required us to implement our disaster recovery procedures to bring the site back up.

The site was unavailable from 9:05pm to 11:50pm Monday.

All auctions that were due to close between 9:05pm Monday and 5:00am Tuesday have been extended by 24 hours.

We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience this has caused our members and we will be here all night monitoring things and ensuring everything is running smoothly.

Regards, the tired Tech Team at Trade Me
