Re: PBW status
 

Should be ok now. Sorry for the delay. I've been pretty busy today and just no got around to checking my email and stuff.

Re: PBW status
 

Yup, back up! Thanks Geo!

Re: PBW status
 

Nevermind.
Problem must have been on my end.

Re: PBW status
 

I get an internal server error when trying to connect to both the graphics- and text-based PBW. Can anyone confirm?

Re: PBW status
 

I can't connect either, but I could earlier today...

Re: PBW status
 

Alright, I'll fire an email off to Geo. Thanks for confirming!

Re: PBW status
 

404 error! 404 error!

Re: PBW status
 

Should be working good now.

Re: PBW status
 

I'm failing to connect this morning (7:23 EST)

Re: PBW status
 

Yes, I cannot connect to it either. This may be an isp problem. I'll let you know when I find out more.

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, it appears the IP address for my cable connection has been reset. I always knew this was a possibility since I moved to the cable isp since it's not a static ip address, but this is the first time it's happened that I can recall, which seems pretty remarkable.

The new IP address is 69.81.92.216. You should be able to connect to PBW by typing http://69.81.92.216 in your browser. I will get the DNS updated so the pbw.cc domain will be correct, but that may take a day or two.

Re: PBW status
 

Hrm, actually, that's the same IP it's always been. It hasnt' changed. So there is something else going on here.

You can still reach the site by typing that IP address in your browser though.

Re: PBW status
 

Until we get this straightened out I have turned off auto processing of turns on the server. The turns will still run if all the players upload their .plr files, and can be forces to run by the game owner at any time like always, but they won't run automatically at turn timeout.

Also, I am not 100% sure whether the email functions are working. So if you are a game owner trying to contact your players, don't count on news emails reaching everybody. You probably need to send out emails manually to each of your players.

A bear, I know. Sorry.

We are standing by patiently, awaiting your gracious and undeserved assistance and attention.

Re: PBW status
 

Confirming that emailed turns are still disabled.

Re: PBW status
 

Site is accessible for me now...

Re: PBW status
 

Guess I should have checked here first before I asked Parabolize if he was getting KotH turns by mail.

Re: PBW status
 

It looks like the email functions are all working ok now. I sucsessfully tested news messages in a couple games, and verified that the the server is sending out new turns and receiving .plr files by email and processing them.

I have not turned auto processing back on yet though. I'll probably wait till tommorow sometim just to make sure everybody knows the site is back up. Some people don't visit here and they may have just thought the server was completely down the whole time.

Re: PBW status
 

Dawgoneit! Now I'm getting an "Error 500" --

"Root cause:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"

Re: PBW status
 

Odd, I'm not having any trouble accessing PBW. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Fine for me too!

Re: PBW status
 

And the it cleared up on its own as quickly as it arrived.

Re: PBW status
 

Should be working now..

Re: PBW status
 

thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Houston, I think we have a problem...

Re: PBW status
 

Yeah, I actually caught this one before anyone mentioned it and it's back up now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Hmm. My user settings haven't changed, but I've stopped receiving new turns in email. Any idea why?

It could just be my ISP flaking out or something, I guess.

Re: PBW status
 

Never mind. Although I still haven't tracked it down, tests indicate that PBW-sized attachments aren't getting through to my email account for some reason.

Re: PBW status
 

When did this happen? I've received a couple today, but that doesn't neccesarily mean the problem is on your end. We've had some wierd problems where emails stop for everybody in a specific game before. Is this happeneing in more than one game to you? Are others in the game having the problem?

Or could they be getting stuck in a bulk folder or something by your isp?

Re: PBW status
 

When did this happen?

Last night and today.

Is this happeneing in more than one game to you?

Yes.

Are others in the game having the problem?

I don't know, but it seems like it's probably a problem with my email at or before the ISP because I tried sending myself two test emails from another account, one with a 500+KB PBW attachment, and one with no attachment, and only the one with no attachment showed up. So I think PBW is probably sending them to me, but they're just getting lost somehow.

Or could they be getting stuck in a bulk folder or something by your isp?

Or something, yes it's possible and seems most likely to me. I talked to my ISP tech support and they referred me to their two spam filters, which they are in the middle of tweaking and changing, but neither of them show that I have anything quarantined there... which is also a little odd since I usually get much more spam arriving in my email. Sounds like there's probably something else filtering my email into the ISP.

Cheers,

PvK

Re: PBW status
 

Hmm. Two turn emails did not arrive this morning. Seems to be a short gap of a couple hours from UTC 1600 to 1730. Could have started earlier but that's all I can confirm. I received turn emails before and after that time span.

Re: PBW status
 

Yeah, I didn't get an email on my first turn that ran today either. I've kicked it to see if I can get the emails working again. Let me know if it helps.

Re: PBW status
 

Yep, seems to be doing it again. UTC 17:15

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, turns out the problem wasn't with the PBW server. We had some problems with our email server. I think it should be working now though.

Re: PBW status
 

Weather man is predicting freezing rain followed by heavy snows with accumulations from 3 to 6 inches tonight. It's not so bad that I expect to lose power or ISP connection, but the possibility is always there. In case the server drops offline tonight, that might be why.

Re: PBW status
 

Are auto turns turned off? I've got one game where the host had to manually force the turn the last two times, and another is 20 minutes past the deadline right now. Both of them are set to fully automatic turns.

Re: PBW status
 

I'm the host for that game that Douglas is talking about: The Galactic Invasion 2. I've had to push the execute turn button twice. I'm not sure that it was on consecutive turns either. I think it processed on time once then it didn't do it again. I believe the same thing happened with another one of the games I'm in too: Adamant 13. I believe Fyron had to execute the turn manually, and since then all has been well. You'd have to ask him to be sure.

EDIT: Er...scratch that, all is not well. Adamant 013 is past the deadline again.

Re: PBW status
 

Yes, it does look like auto turns had frozen up. I hadn't noticed. It's working now.

Re: PBW status
 

Getting an internal server error now.

Re: PBW status
 

Same here, Internal server error

Re: PBW status
 

Should be back up now I think

Re: PBW status
 

Yep, Working fine now.

Re: PBW status
 

Like a champ! Thanks, Geo! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: PBW status
 

I guess this fits in this thread... when can we expect PBW to be upgraded to 1.94 Deluxe?

edit: oh, yeah, could you also please set up the Masters Mod v1.0? http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...o=&fpart=1

Re: PBW status
 

I planned on doing it this weekend. I am going to need to take it offline for a bit to upgrade. But I got sick this weekend and didn't feel like doing much of anything. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Re: PBW status
 

Taking the server down for a bit for some maintenance. Be back up shortly.
