Title: Server down time
Post by: Mo on May 23, 2007, 01:27:00 AM
The server might go down on a few occasions during the next few days for maintenance.  So if you the forums don't load don't worry.  It will be back online shortly.

Server will be down on occasions over the next few weeks.  I am upgrading servers and then moving.  Both events will require downtime for the forum.  I will post an update on when these down periods will take place.

Thanks

Mo is actually short for "Mole". He is actually the worlds most notorious corporate spy, as well as being the master of NWN magic duels.

So, you can understand the need for all the secrecy.

I wonder if anyone else took that post wrong...  :lol:

Is it possible for you to make these posts like two days before, or the day before, the site will have downtime? I always forget on those days and then wonder why it's down, and then remember after awhile that you said it would be. lol.

Yeah, AFTER I try coming here. And in general, I have a pretty good memory. Think of the Tyraels and Anhegs on this board! :lol:

I think a good part of my mind doesn't find it important to remember, and that's why I don't. I'll probably forget this Sunday too, actually, I remember every day only because of our posting in this thread... lol. In fact, I probably don't care about when you post it at all... I don't even know why I mentioned it in the first place... must've been my alter-ego. :lol:

Alright the server is moved.  

FYI you no longer need to specify port 8080 to reach the forums.

Some people might have noticed LM being down at times last night.  There was some maintenance going on that took longer than I expected.  There might be some more periods of down time, of say 10 mins, in the coming days as I tweak the server further.

Thanks

Latest outage today was 6 hours.  Caused by a faulty UPS.  I'll replace that this weekend.  I'm also changing ISP to a more reliable one.
Title: Re: Server down time

Sorry about the recent outages.  First my ISP screwed up my "static IP" and then a thunderstorm knocked out power for 8 hours today.

Fucking up a static IP is one thing, but if your ISP can't control the weather then they are worthless!

Sorry for the extended down time this week. There was modem troubles and I was out of town so I couldn't fix them.  Apologizes to all.

I think I found your problem. The 90's called and they want their technology back.

How do you connect to the Internet? Fiber? It's a DSL modem.

I didn't have a problem with the word "modem," but I found your use of "was" interesting.

DSL, but we have a router. I guess that can be considered a modem.

You must have a modem+router.  Unless the signal from your ISP is digital which is not the case with DSL and cable systems you'll need a modem.

Actually a router is different from a modem as well. Usually, if you have DSL, somewhere in your house or outside there is a box that the phone line goes into, typically that's your DSL Modem. We used to have a small box that set next to our router, but then after the cables and service got upgraded, they took the old box and we got a big box that is mounted on the wall in the basement. Some routers act as a modem and a router at the same time, but they need to be built to function in that manner. Not all routers are capable of that. It may be a little different in California than it is up here, simply because of high population. Also, closeness to your ISP is a factor. I know at my fathers store in town, they don't have a modem in-store, but the ISP right there in town. Out here, typically every household gets their own modem (not sure about in town), I'm not sure how that would work in an apartment building either. From having a general idea as to where Mo lives, it wouldn't strike me as odd if he would have his own modem.

From my knowledge, it goes something like this: ISP > DSL Modem > Router > Computer, Switch, Router, or Hub and then from the second router, switch, or hub, you can obviously map out more computers.

Here's a wiki link... it's probably better than my limited knowledge on the subject.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSL_modem

At my place, we're planning on getting a second switch, and moving the router into an out-of-the-way location. The cable from the modem would reach all the way to the router across the ceiling of the basement. Then from the router, we would be connecting one switch via cable further out in the basement, so it's easy to relocate it and all of the computers in the basement can connect to it instead. Then we would run a second switch via cable through the ceiling to the upstairs, and then that switch could be relocated as well, and any computers etc. could be connected through that switch. The other two ports in the router could then be left open for future networking. I'm not sure if that plan will work flawlessly or not, but it sounds good. Helps that I'm using Tomato firmware on my router too. Especially in the case of torrenting while other people are using the net.

That was interesting. Is that a completely different domain? If so, how did you redirect the url?
