2016-08-20: Server downtime status report

[Jason]

Server was down today for 8 hours due to a bug in our hosts billing software. Due to it being a billing issue causing the server to go offline, the hosting company (who normally are hands-on to resolve any downtime should I be asleep) didn't try to bring the site back up. Problem has been resolved, and new processes put in place to ensure it can't possibly happen again. Sadly, this happened 6 minutes after I went to bed.

and keep up with good work

Well, look at it this way: it wasn't even a full day. Once, years and years ago A. Asylum was down for about TWO days!

Stuff happens!

Thanks for taking care of this issue.

I couldn't get on earlier so had to go away and design a valve/tube mixer instead.
Pleased to hear you are back online, I was getting withdrawal symptoms !

On another VBB site I am on this happend last week (The 2nd time) -- I went to the site and got a suspended page!!!! -- I notified the admin and he got it corrected.... (He is with lunerpages)

What would cause this to happen?

What is strange, after that I can not connect to the site through my wireless router at home.
I even rerset it to factory defaults and upgraded the firmware. I can connect to it through the LAN though... What can cause this problem? Other sites work well, only diyaudio.com is unreachable. Neither Firefox, nor Telnet can reach it.

No devices can connect via wireless. The router does not pass packets back to any wireless device:

Not that it's some sort of consolation, but Group DIY seems down...

http://www.groupdiy.com/

The server is still up, but there doesn't seem to be an index. Hacked?

 

[cyrano]

Sorry folks, just a slight misconfig. Drop the www and it works as usual...

 

[waxx]

I was annoyed for 5secs, but don't worry, i definitly didn't blame anyone. I work in IT, and know very well how it works when you depend on others and buggy software...

 

[cyrano]

It's the changed behaviour in Chrome that got me. It seems the Chrome insists on adding the "www" even when I typed it in manually, making it effectively impossible. That behaviour only went away after I'd changed the bookmark. Bad points for Chrome, I guess...
