Server Down
Ekskoning:
Hi Miasma Admins
Seems server is down right now..
Arbok:
"seems"
Piglet:
Argh! I never got round to setting up an account with the provider for Raj to link me - and I need that to talk with the host/do a reboot. The box appears to be completely down. I've set up a new account with the host and left them a support message. Will try and reach out to Raj
If the box was up at all I could restart it or any process on it...but it's not responding at all to any connection attempt or ping.
Piglet:
Here's the position:
Raj owns the game server and this forum server with different hosts, and I've been running it for him and keeping the coding tweaks to the game going since 2017.
My name is on the account for the forum, but not on the account for the game box. The game box host support person is being helpful to the extent they can be. (Thank you!)
Here's where we are:
I've not heard from Raj by email since April 2018, and he's not logged into the forum since then either. I've sent him an email but haven't heard from him.
The hosts (quite rightly) can't help us at all about the reason the server is not up, as they can only discuss with Raj.
It may be that a bill has been missed and nobody's been donating using the donate to top up the account. The hosting team cannot say whether this is the case - nor can they tell us whether making donations now would fix the issue.
I never considered that the game machine might suddenly disappear, so I don't have an entirely up to date copy of the game configuration. I only needed a test copy with enough detail to test things before putting them live. The changes I've made I've tested individually and then integrated into the server's configuration. I've not kept a copy of that full configuration locally here - and some things I have running here on the test box never got made live on the server.
It should be possible to take what I have and rent and configure a new server - but I wouldn't want to do this unless Raj no longer wants to run these servers himself.
Hmmm.....not sure what to do now.
Ekskoning:
Such a disaster...
