EntropiaPlanets and other forums was / are down

That's incredible LOL

 

Ouch, bad widget.
Thx for the info! ...thought it were my ISP that were playing tricks on me.. :/

 

Yeah, I think you guys were timing out leading to a 404.

The others on 711's server's just dont seem to be there at all. No time outs, no 404's etc.

So, you guys were timing out because of it, but the others are just not there. A DNS failure.

"Query for DNS records for planetcalypsoforum.com failed: Address not available"

So, not the widget itself causing the error, other than how it is implemented on your site leading to it timing out your site if it is not available.

 

hmm funny that PCF is still down because of Starfinders website. Starfinder owned FPC. :D

 

Ty very much for the update! I was wondering why numerous Entropia sites were down. I was thinking it was a widespread DDoS attack or something.

:D

 

Hmm can you translate that into English please :D


Maybe there are multiple problems with those server(s).

 

The servers that FPC/EF/ET are on have had a DNS faliure therefore unavailable - they dont exist at the moment untill they sort it out.

Sites like this one that were pulling data from that server, eg the tracker thing, were affected due to the way that the widget from there works I assume.

 

Thanks for clarifying. Makes more sense I think. So it's all due to the DNS failure rather than ET that caused the problem...

 

not sure its a DNS issue, they all resolve fine for me (though dont respond).

also question what entropedia pulls from ET. would seem from here that the servers hosting all - stupidly imo - have gone offline, so the tracker is a symptom not a cause.

well done for resolving the issue for this site. only higlights how poorly the hosting is being monitored for those other services. over 5 hours offline now? might be the wake up call some need that hosting so many resources in one location isnt so clever. seems Neo isnt very interested or involved any more and the hosting service he is providing is not very professional on this evidence (and not the first time either).

 

Getting better - domain name is resolving now but still timing out

there all back up again just bin on them :-)

 

Morning...
Yeah.. I spoke with 711 when i got home yesterday.. and I seem to recall him saying something about it being a router at the server park that went down or something.
Its a little odd that it was down for so long tho - because there is 24 hr "on location support" meaning a techie is sitting at the server part 24 /7 if something like this happens...

And yes.. all the "other forums/sites" that went down was because of them pulling data from ET the way they did (directly implemented in the main code i assume)...


So.. yeah.. peter/lykke.. thanks for sobering me up when you called me... took a couple of frantic phonecalls and several shots to "get back" to the party... :)
