Title: Connection Problems
Post by: morfowt on December 12, 2008, 05:21:30 AM
Lately, almost every morning I try to get on RAF, I get connection problems and it says the server can't connect. Is it just happening to me, or is there something wrong lately?

RAF has been down a lot these past few days. Has it been happening to you a LOT? Like, since last week or even way before then?

Don't worry about it morfowt, it's been happening to me too, although I have been having an actual problem with my internet which probably isn't helping.

I actually can't remember when it started, but I know at the very least it started about two saturdays ago...

I don't know if it's related, but sometimes RAF loads very slowly for me.  Usually if I wait a few minutes it gets better though.

I was told the problem was resolved at 1am forum time. I'll continue to monitor this. If it happens again, just post here. Thanks.

I hope it is resolved, too much hassle to move hosts.

It's being stupid again this morning, just when it was going good again.

I got the notifications this time around. Thanks for replying though. I will bring this to our service providers, because this isn't supposed to be happening.

Just a few minutes ago there were connection issues with the forum server.  The domain server was fine.

The new host for the database is what is being used now. So let's see if this problem continues.

just had a connection problem again. it lasted about half a minute. I don't think it's anything to worry about but I thought I should mention it anyway...
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Richard on January 02, 2009, 09:04:47 AM
Yeah, there were four instances where there was a connection problem over 12 hours.

I can not access RAF on my computer. I'm really surprised I can access it on my phone...

But that is so weird.

Hey... since when is there a spell check option?
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: morfowt on January 03, 2009, 03:58:56 AM
since the move to the new host?

Yeah, Morf is right. It was added when me moved.

This page can not be displayed.
Please check the address is correct (e.g. www.example.com instead of ww.example.com)

Pretty sure thats what I got.

Just got this screen for the first time:

But I was able to reload right away.

Yeah. Trust me. I know. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

What happened today? Gah.
How do we stop this from happening all the time? Its not fair :(

I get the links for the RAFblog and RAFchat when it stuffs up, usually

maybe this is just you...
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Richard on January 04, 2009, 08:50:18 AM
It wasn't. The forum lost connection to the host about 13 hours ago. That was resolved after 5 hours and one digit. As for the usual connection problems; that's just the symptom of a host that needs to be left.

Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Richard on January 05, 2009, 12:03:02 PM
What happned? Our new host crapped out on us. What did I do? I moved the forum back to our old host.
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: goom on January 05, 2009, 12:13:43 PM
dang, that sucks.
back up now at least!
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Richard on January 06, 2009, 12:56:50 PM
Ok. Any connection problems after this post will be looked into directly by our host.
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Nateosaurus on January 06, 2009, 07:04:03 PM
I can't post on RAF.
At home, I can't log on.

Here on my phone I'm always logged on, so I can view everything but I can't post... so this probably won't post... so.. Yeah.. I'll tell another RAFian on msn or something.. :(
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Richard on January 06, 2009, 09:32:32 PM
It posted. What happens when you post?
Title: Re: Connection Problems
Post by: Nateosaurus on January 06, 2009, 11:47:06 PM
Hmm. It seems to be working now.

I got some weird screen that I've never got before on my phone. Oh wells, its all good now

Ok. And yeah, a few errors popped up today that I've never seen either. Just so you all know, we're monitoring it.
