tecinal problem

Post by Dragonette » Wed Jul 18, 2007 5:11 pm

hmmmm ...... brykovian, korexus and vortan are at the moment having some technical difficulties. Their computers wont let them in to this site or wok 5. The question is has someone barred their ipp number or did someone do it trying to cure a problem. For now they just sit and wait, pondering to themselves. If anyone knows about this inncedent or anyone else has experienced the problem please either email them or tell me here

Dragonette,

When something like this happens, the odds are very good that it was me that did it. If it wasn't, you can bet that I'll find out who it was very quickly.

Anyway. This, as with most computer problems, solved itself after a moderate amount of screaming and kicking machines round the room. No worries. :)

If you can't access a website then either the site is gone or you are having a dns problem. Look it up on the wikipedia if you are interested ;-)

These problems fix themselves automagically. It is one of the good things about the internet. (H) So just wait and everything will be fine again.

Not sure that was the case this time. I couldn't access WoK directly using any browser, but could if I went through a proxy server and I *could* access the comand panel direct. Also Vortan's house could see the site from one computer, but not another.

The fact that this happened at exactly the time that our databases were being horribly abused by some rogue script (adding just over 20,000 identical entries to the database per second) makes me think that it may have been the servers grinding to a halt...

Anyway, the offending script has been fixed and I've reinstated a 30 second timeout. So hopefully, if that was the cause, it won't happen again.

Not that we HERE really care but another PHP site for a strange little game called Lords went down about 30 minutes after ours came back up.

Looks like they are having a prob all round. It will be CS next. Just so long as they dont all go at once - I might ... well ... I might actually have to do something else :shock: No! I won't, I will sit helpless pressing refresh every 30 seconds. :lol:
