+milvus-milvus Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Has someone not paid the bills? Actually seems to be some sort of security problem... Quote
Deego Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) I will look into to soon as I can , will let you know what I find Its site wide so need to talk to Ian. Edited April 6, 2006 by Deego Quote
Nediam Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) The message has changed now to :- "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.geocacheuk.com Port 80" Perhaps they're working on it as we speak I will look into to soon as I can , will let you know what I find Its site wide so need to talk to Ian. Good luck, hope it's nothing too serious Edited April 6, 2006 by Nediam Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I noticed the tube map was offline with the same security message last night. Perhaps you've been hacked by spammers (again?) - Good luck with getting it sorted. Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I am as much to blame as anyone else, but wasn't GC.com having similar problems, and all WE done was gave them a hard time. G:UK is a UK site ran by UK cachers and it is being supported (as it should be) whilst it is having these difficulties. Perhaps we should all learn something from this? I hope the site gets up and running soon, and I really hope that it hasn't been hacked again. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Perhaps G:uk are being cut more slack because they've never asked anyone for any money (to the best of my knowledge)... A free site run by cachers for cachers is different from one people are 'encouraged' to pay for. What's this WE kemosabe? Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 What's this WE kemosabe? This will turn into an unwanted debate if I actually answer that. Quote
alistair_uk Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 DMC Internet have suspended some accounts because of security problems with XMLRPC and it is possible this is the problem with the stats page. Quote
+Brenin Tegeingl Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Perhaps G:uk are being cut more slack because they've never asked anyone for any money (to the best of my knowledge)... Mark "The Cat" actually refused offers of fund-raising for G:UK whilst still with us, and I presume Ian-Teasel has kept to that policy as well. Dave Quote
+Teasel Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Mark "The Cat" actually refused offers of fund-raising for G:UK whilst still with us, and I presume Ian-Teasel has kept to that policy as well. Yes indeed (though offers of pocket queries are gratefully received!) Not quite sure why the site is currently down. I received an email from DMC this morning saying that they'd suspended my account overnight because of regular slowdowns every day at 5am. The slowdowns didn't occur this morning, which pointed the finger at G:UK! They traced the problem to my daily backups, so they un-suspended my account but commented out the cron jobs. But that doesn't explain why the site is currently down... Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Yes indeed (though offers of pocket queries are gratefully received!) Being a paying member and a happy user of your site, send me an email letting me know what you require for a PQ, and I'll set 1 or 2 up for you. Quote
+The Mars Bars Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Yay!!! It's back up and running! Well I can't get on it at the moment.... HELP! Dave Quote
+steviep Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Yay!!! It's back up and running! Not for me I still cant get it! Quote
+bhodisatva Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Changed from a 403 to a 404 error for me now Quote
Nediam Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) Well I can't get on it at the moment.... HELP! Dave Yay!!! It's back up and running! Not for me I still cant get it! Changed from a 403 to a 404 error for me now I just get "page can not be displayed" Still no good? Try clearing out your Internet Explorer/Firefox cache memory and/or reloading the page from scratch (not just refreshing the page). I didn't have to do anything to get the page back up and running. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.1. Edited to add:- It's also working in MS Interent Explorer on my computer. Edited April 7, 2006 by Nediam Quote
+Write and Mane Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Thank you - it's back and running well Now Write can log his Trigs, we had only just started to get to the hang of HOW TO when it CRASHED BIG TIME! What Did We DO????? Quote
