Anyone else having IRC issues?

irc, but also the site itself. Whole server must be down.

List password

[(Anonymous)]

Tonight, when I tried to login (http://lists.squidge.org/wws as well as an individual list page), I got an incorrect password error. Should I try again later or has the server been set to require new passwords from users? Should I use the lost password function to reset my password? I know I typed the current password correctly (saved) and haven't reset it recently.

You're not going crazy - I moved the listserver and upgraded us, and I'm getting the same issue. Not sure what it is, but I'm working on it!

[nightshadow-t2.livejournal.com]

I was trying to access my site, the main site, and kmarchive, but they all seem to be down. Anything particular going on?

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

I was giving the system 10 more minutes to come back on its own, but it didn't. Restarted it. Sorry about that!

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

Server doesn't seem to be loading.

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

For some reason the server was hung. I had to reboot it, so it's fine now. Sorry!

I've been getting a 500 Internal Server Error from the list server (http://lists.squidge.org) for a couple of days. I've tried deleting all cookies and clearing the cache to check if it was a browser issue (Firefox 12).

Thanks for letting me know! There was a module that was out of sorts that I had to update, and it appears that the listserver web interface is back up!

hi,

I´m from Germany, we cant get access to your site, is it a country thing?

Because if use "hide your ass" i have no problems

[squidgiepdx]

Can you go to http://whatismyipaddress.com and tell me the result? I've had to block most of mainland China due to hacking - I'd hate to find Germany accidentally blocked!

Hi,

Been trying to send the author (zivadavid) feedback on an ongoing story, and keep encountering the same error message whether I click the 'envelope' to send feedback or go through the author's name tag:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /ncis/contact.php on this server.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at www.squidge.org Port 80

I'm going to look for another email address for the author, but thought I should mention the problem.

Thanks for the wonderful site for fan fic.

Thanks for letting me know! There're about 140,000 spammers registered to NCISFiction.com, and I'm trying to combat them. I put something in place, but I think it caused your issue. Please try it now and let me know. Thanks!

Is there a problem this morning? Can't connect at all. ::brings Walter a virtual bag of donuts and a coffee big enough to swim in::

[madhorserider.livejournal.com]

Not able to access any of squidge.org sites. is it all down? or just me?

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

There was a configuration error - we're up as of this morning.

[jadeaislin.livejournal.com]

I can't get into ncisfiction.com. I tried clearing my history, including cache and cookies. I know at least one person was able to get in today. However, I keep getting a "Error 503 : Service Temporarily Unavailable". I've been getting this message for the past few days.

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

Can you please go to http://whatismyipaddress.com and tell me what it says your IP address is?

[jadeaislin.livejournal.com]

I'm still having issues getting into www.ncisfiction.com. I cannot get past the home screen without getting the 503 error. I can get to the stories if I have the urls, but I only had a handful of urls saved. I can't go into the category section to browse for a story.

[murgy31.livejournal.com]

Is anyone else having issues with WWOMB loading? I was reading 2 stories on there, and now I can't get the next chapter to come up. Thanks for your help~

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

The server hung when I got home, so I reset it.

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

Is the server down? I've tried webmail, wwomb, the main site and irc. Can't get anywhere.

[squidgiepdx]

Sorry! I had to install a new remote-boot switch, and had to take the system down to do it. I totally forgot to post to LJ!

[nightshadow-t2.livejournal.com]

Evening,

Squidge seems to be down at the moment. I hope everything is okay.

Night,

Shadow

[squidgiepdx]

Not sure what was going on, but it was up when I checked on it at 3:30am. I rebooted everything, just in case!

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

Nothing seems to be working this morning. Any idea why?

[squidgiepdx]

There must have been something going on overnight, but a reboot at 3:30am seemed to fix it!

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

Site is down. And there were mail problems before, incoming msgs bouncing, and outgoing getting an error:
ERROR:
Message not sent. Server replied:

Connection refused
111 Can't open SMTP stream

It sorted itself out two days ago, but came back yesterday, and didn't sort itself out while I tried.

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

Not sure why, so I reset everything this morning...

[iguanacoosbay.livejournal.com]

It's 1/28/2013 at 10:27am Pacific time, and the Sqidge site is down "for Maintenance". any idea when it will be back up?

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

I was having problems with the mysql database, and had to take the system into unannounced maintenance mode. We should be back.

[(Anonymous)]

The site is still down. Whats up with that?

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

There's a network outage that my ISP is dealing with. Hopefully it'll be up soon.

[ebeneezerdark.livejournal.com]

I tried to reply to a post on the SenAd e-List about the Evil Amazonian Empire's attempt to monetize and monopolize fanfiction. It bounced, as did my subsequent posts to the List. :-(

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

SORRY!!! That's my fault... Well, my ADHD's fault. I was testing something and forgot to put the mail server back on. Try it now!

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

I'm having problems getting to WWOMB. I get nothing but a blank screen.

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

I've checked throughout the day, and not seen any issues...

[nightshadow-t2.livejournal.com]

Squidge.org appears to be down at the moment. I checked on whether it was down for just me through a site and according to the site at least it is actually down.

Hi.
I'm trying to access sga.fictionresource.com and I'm getting the following error message:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Host 'squidge.org' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in /extra/users/fictionr/public_html/sga/library/db_mysql.class.php on line 32

Query was:

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

I have been tweaking with some firewall settings, and it's been affecting my database server connections - which I think is what led to your issue. Can you give it a shot now? It should be better!

[ceruleancat.livejournal.com]

Site seems to be down now. Had a similar problem last night, but it was back up an hour later.

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

It's because of Microsoft's websearch crawler - it's hammering the server. I'm trying to fix it so it's not as abusive in the future. Will post an explanation soon.

[(Anonymous)]

Hello! I haven't been able to reach the site for days. Are there any known problems with the server?

Thanks!

[squidgestatus.livejournal.com]

I've not had any issues with access to the system, no... Sorry!

[perclexed.livejournal.com]

I keep getting punted off IRC about every five minutes or less since last weekend. Is there anything I can do to keep this from happening?

[rayphile.livejournal.com]

Me too. It's been going on about a week now.
