Beeen trying to reply to Toohp for a while now. System tells me Toohp does not exist which is probably news to his nearest and dearest.

Yes, a glitch that one. Always worth asking someone directly, it can be a while before one of us sees such comments (if at all):

Site "died" again today b/n some time in late morning and 7pm in the evening.

^ Had the same problem.

by **Tortoise** » Sat 10 Aug, 2013 7:30 pm

So did everybody, going by the active topics times.

Thanks for the hard work you must have been doing behind the scenes, administrative folks

Checking on a forum should not be the last thing one does before shut lids. Yet again... :mrgreen:

This server backend problem seemed to be without resolution. Glad I am not tasked to fix it. Must be a tough cookie.

Yes, lately the site seems to have been down frequently in the evenings for hours on end...

Sorry Guys -- I am working on this issue still. We have two unrelated issue causing the outages. One is due to a problem with the network management system and the other is regular 'DOS' attacks. I think I have resolved (as best I can) the DOS issues and hope to migrate to the new sever over the weekend to solve the other (still a few issues with migration - but very close now).

So hopefully next week - if not the week after we will be humming along well soon.

by **GPSGuided** » Fri 06 Sep, 2013 4:05 pm

Good luck Matt. We should all schedule some long walks that's outside of smartphone signal range over the weekend...

Thanks Matt you efforts are appreciated.

by **Mountain Rocket** » Sat 07 Sep, 2013 4:59 pm

Good luck with the maintenance later tonight Matt :-)

by **wildwalks** » Sat 07 Sep, 2013 8:05 pm

Thanks guys

by **wildwalks** » Sat 07 Sep, 2013 11:20 pm

Okay -- fingers crossed that the issue is now solved. The website is much faster now -- hopefully it stays up and running.

thanks

Matt

I suppose I am not the only one who experienced the site go down last night around midnight?

by **Strider** » Mon 04 Nov, 2013 10:18 am

No me too

thanks for getting the site back up!! i appreciate your hard work

by **wildwalks** » Mon 04 Nov, 2013 7:50 pm

Yep. Sorry guys. It was a DOS Attack and I slept through the outage alert. The outages of the past seems to have gone now. But DOS attacks are hard to deal with. Will get there

by **GPSGuided** » Mon 04 Nov, 2013 7:59 pm

Please don't apologise Matt! It's not reasonable for these matters to affect your rest time. That's the quickest way to a burn out. But just fix it before breakfast.

by **north-north-west** » Sun 10 Nov, 2013 9:02 am

What's a DOS attack?

by **GPSGuided** » Sun 10 Nov, 2013 9:09 am

Denial of Service attack. Massive external data requests that aim to flood the server's resources and bring it down.
