You mean I have to entertain myself with some actual programming today? I guess it had to happen sooner or later. I have some other stuff to do too...sigh

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

8:30 here in sunny Santa Cruz and PBW is up and down and slow, in other words, being very sporadic this morning.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Ok. Looks like it didn't take as long as I thought. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif It appears to be back up and running normally now. I have turned off auto-turns though just to be sure. If there are no additional problems I'll turn auto-turns back on this evening.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, was just getting ready to post the happy news myself. It came up a bit slower than usual, but given the choice of down or slow... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

bump

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

It's 6:31 CST and I can't access the PBW site. So, I guess I'll submit my turn via email.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

down here too

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Ok guys, the PBW IP address has changed. The DNS for our domain name hasn't caught up yet, that's why you can't reach the site this morning.

In the mean time you can still reach PBW directly at the new IP: http://69.81.92.70

Game news emails and new turn emails also won't work for the time being. Turns emailed to the server though will be received.

I have turned off automatic turns for anybody who doesn't happen to check this forum on a regular basis.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

It appears the DNS has now caught up. I havn't yet tested teh email to see if that is working though. If not it should be soon.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Thanks Geoschmo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Down for me also.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I've seen a dozen Viagra spams this morning, could we send some to the pbw server to keep it up?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Friday morning here and I got a couple of turns done, then tried to upload another turn and lost contact. It appears PBW is down again.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Yep. PWB server appears down, tried using the IP number and it failed as well.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Ya, cable's out. It's been reported, but no eta.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Ok, we know what the problem is. Should be back up in an hour or two at the most.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Ok, actually not that long. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

However, as a result of the down time, the IP address has been reset once again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif You can reach PBW right now at http://69.81.92.216

I will get the DNS reset, but that may not happen till tommorow. Until then you will have to go direct to the IP and the email send features will not work. sigh, you know the drill. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

EDIT: By the way, I am not in a position to turn off the auto turns at the moment. They are on and have been on all day. I will get them off in the next hour or two and leave then off till the DNS is caught up. If you have a turn that ran in the mean time contact your game owner about having the turn rolled back.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

As I stated in another thread, PBW just went down.

Edit: I'm a bit confused. Have I been using the original and now the replacement is on?, or have I been using the replacement and now the original is back?

ya, it looks like geo is upto mischief yet again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

i'm sure it will be back soon as per usual

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Geoschmo, have you cosidered getting a service like www.no-ip.org , which has a program set to automatically update the IP address related to the domain name when your IP changes? It is great for hosting sites when you are on a connection that changes IP address periodically.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

8 AM EST, March 27. Still down. Internal Server Error, HTTP 500.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

No problems here, everything seems to work fine

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Yup. It's working now. Danke schon.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

works again for me

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">There's only one Randall.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I take it Autoun is still off, eh?

ummm...come to think of it, I think it's time to donate to PBW again...

thanks,

Alarik

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

EDIT: I meant "AutoRun"...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Auto turns are back on now.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Can anyone access the PBW server? Can not access it says unavailable. :-(

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Nope. Its down, can't get there by name or IP.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Not working for me either.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

And I have a turn due... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif .

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Turns don't run while PBW is down do they? I sure hope not.....

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">No, they don't run...I'm just hoping Geo is as careful as ever when he gets it fixed and turns auto-processing off before he brings it up. I can't remember if the game in question is on auto or not.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

It the server is still running but just not reachable, it will process turns automatically as usual, unless Geo turns it off. As I understand it, he must have access to the server to do that, though. Games can be rolled back to the previous turn, though.
So all we have to do is to wait for Geo...

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Perhaps if we could all aford to donate more Geo could get away from this hack ISP he has and Subscribe to one that is far more stable and user friendly.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I thought georgig wrote a routine for Geo to be put on the server some time back that pinged (something) and if it didn't get a reply, it switched autoturns off. Hmmmm.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

excellent idea! I'm off to paypal to donate to PBW!!!

thanks,

Alarik

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I finally did my first donation a month ago.

20 dollars us..

Long time coming... And very bad of me

I will be doing another 30 dollars in May

Does any one want to match ?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

bah. Just did.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Hey, it's back up!

(10:34 PM EST)

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Yep, it's back up. I have auto turns off now, but I can't guarantee that no turns ran in the mean time. I don't think they did though because the server wasn't just offline, it was actually down this time.

Back up and running now. If anyone has any issues, let me know.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Nope, he said he could do it, but he never got around to it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

So lets all pitch in and buy georgig a round-to-it! *groan*

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

Getting an 'Internal Server Error' from PBW now (1:55pm EST).

EDIT: ...And now it's fixed itself. Hooray for automation!

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

cant send my turn in, are auto turns still off?

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

I am not seeing any problem with the site. I can submit turns fine. Is it still doing it to you?

Auto turns are on.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Try the text-based PBW. I always get a similar error when trying to undo my turn in graphic-based pbw, but text-based works. May help you too.

Re: ****PBW Status****
 

no, I tryed text as well, got the same error.
its working now though.
