Re: PBW status
 

The cable is out at the house this morning so the server is offline. I am hoping to have something going on it later this morning.

Re: PBW status
 

Ok, should be working now. Cables back up.

Re: PBW status
 

I'm getting a time out message when I try to connect to the PBW site.


Never mind it working now.

Thanks.

Re: PBW status
 

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the site?

Re: PBW status
 

Not working for me, either.

Re: PBW status
 

an interesting stat would be monthly incidence of outage divided by category of cause
i would be interested in the following categories

1 down due to inet connection
2 down due to hardware fault
3 down due to power fault
4 down due to pbw server software fault
5 down due to pbw server operating system fault


i think this stat would be useful in showing us how important it is to contribute
plus it would indicate how severe a need for update is in each area compared to the other

just a thought somebody tell me th the thread where this message should go and i'll move it (that meaans delete and submit in correct thread)

Re: PBW status
 

It must have been one of those that fixed itself, like Geo says happens, 'cause it's up now.

Re: PBW status
 

I don't really keep records like I guess I should, but I'd estimate that recently #1 is about 4/5ths of the outages. And any time where it fixes itself before you see a comment from me, like this morning, you can be sure it was #1.

We haven't had an outage due to #2 in over a year. The other 1/5th would be divided among 3, 4 and 5, but sometiumes it's hard to pin down exactly. What looks like a software problem a lot of times can be caused by power glitches. We haven't had a software problem that required code changes or software reload to fix in quite a while though. The only ones we've had that I would even think of clasifying as a software problem were fixed with a reboot.

We probably need to add a couple more categories though.

#6 Dumb-*** Geo again
#7 Psycho Phong Cat

The funny thing is we used to blame it on the Psycho Phong Cat whenever we had a problem we couldn't explain, but I didn't even have a cat. Well we got a cat now and damn if the thing isn't psycho, and look a little bit like a Phong. I'll have to upload a picture and see if you guys don't agree. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Not coming up for me. Wondering if it's #7 Psycho Phong Cat again... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Yup down. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Oh snap, I have to actually do something else. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: PBW status
 

Seems to be down as of this post.

Re: PBW status
 

Yes, we need to donate more money, looks like it needs some help. I have $10.00 in paypal account that I can donate!

Re: PBW status
 

I sent $50 in April when there was talk of some new drives and such. Not sure whatever happened but I'm sure Geo uses the money where it's needed.

Re: PBW status
 

Looks like it's back up for the moment...

Re: PBW status
 

Yeppers, sure is.

Re: PBW status
 

Is there something up with the PBW server? Seems like the same 5 games have been "Waiting for Processing" for the past five or so hours.

Re: PBW status
 

We might. I'm investigating. It looks like it will run games if I force the turn, but it might not be running the processes for the timed games and kicking off turns when all the players upload.

Which games are you in?

Re: PBW status
 

It appears that the server has not been processing email turns for about three weeks. I appologize if anyone tried to let me know about this. I don't remember getting a message about it. There was an email with some garbage in it causing it to hang. I'm not sure if that was related to the problem reported this morning, it may not be.

If you use the email turn submission and you get a bunch of replys this morning about not being able to process your turn, it's because it's going through all the old emails and getting caught up. There were several hundred sitting in the mail box.

Re: PBW status
 

Looks like it went "splat" again.

Re: PBW status
 

*Sigh*. Must be the cable again. I'll be home in a little while. I'll kick it.

Re: PBW status
 

Yeah, maybe that cat again... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

8:29 AM EDT October 5.
PBW appears to be down. I got the login screen when I first tried, but couldn't actually log in (Action Canceled). Now the page doesn't come up at all.

Re: PBW status
 

11:30 AM EDT October 5
It's working fine now.
I see there have been no posts since I reported this. It must have been a very short lapse.

Re: PBW status

Re: PBW status

Re: PBW status

Re: PBW status
 

Oh, hey. I didn't see this. Been having trouble keeping up on this thread since they split the forums. Looks like the site is ok now. Most likely we were hit with another ISP outage that cleared up on it's own.

Re: PBW status
 

LOL - Yeah, it's a lot harder to get noticed when you've been seated in the far back corner... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif
