Downtime twice

warning: strftime() [function.strftime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Europe/Berlin' for 'CET/1.0/no DST' instead in /var/syscp/webs/apophis/apophis-neXt/gallery2/modules/core/classes/GalleryPlatform.class on line 1219.

At the end of march the servers MySQL database crashed heavily which needed a complete restore of the whole database, the backup of the previous days were corrupted as well which lead to a restore of the database dating back to the begin of march.

After that the apophis.ch Server went obviously down on the 30th of March and I wasn't able to restart the server due to not having internet yet on my new location (yes this is murphy par excellence), The site was down for more than a week. And I feared that mysql was the problem again, however a restart of the server solved all problems, but I'll have an eye on the server's stability now!
