+ibycus Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 2:24pm... Can't seem to access the Calgary Cachers forum through either of the domains (forums.calgarycachers.ca, forums.geocachingcalgary.com) also can't access the geocaching edmonton board. I'm guess right now that Host Baron has hiccuped (both sites are hosted by them). Anyone else able to get through? Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 2:42pm just tried both with no luck. Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 3:47PM .. they're both back up now. Quote Link to comment
+shearzone Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Strange things are happening at the Edmonton forum. The forum seemed to be on and off yesterday. 'Page not found' came up a few times. Also, the main page isn't recording date and time of latest posts anymore. Posts that did make it through were repeated 3-4 times. ...cue theme song to the Twilight Zone Quote Link to comment

allan_eh Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 There's an Edmonton forum page? Where? I'm new here, so be gentle! Quote Link to comment

+3jaze Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Are we hiccupping (sp) again??? Quote Link to comment
+ibycus Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 I think so... Looks like a host baron-wide problem. Someone sent me a PM on the Calgary Forum, but I can't see it, because I can't see anything there... Quote Link to comment

+ibycus Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Anyone else having problems with the Calgary/Edmonton forums? Quote Link to comment
+cyber-hunter Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yes I am. This is the second night in a row. When I log in it shows me as logined in but doesn't show and new posts and is still asking me to log in. Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yep -- same problem here. I try and log in, I show up in the list of users online but I cannot see new messages, I cannot post and cannot check private messages. I'll keep trying...as I said to nicolo: "If this keeps up I'll actually have to do work when I'm on the office." Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi Everyone, Host Baron is having a problem with the control panel application that is used for installation of the MySQL databases. They are working on a solution and the time frame for a fix is unknown.... We would send all users an email, but we can't access the database any better than everyone else. Try not to lapse into a coma from forum withdrawal Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Red90 would you consider setting up a simple page hosted somewhere other than HostBaron where we could check if the forums go down? Edmonton has this but I notice that the CAC site is down (on HostBaron too?) Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The CAC website is not on host Baron. The main page is on a server run by Ibycus and the content is built by Graylling so they are the ones to speak to. I have no idea why the CAC server is not working this morning The GCE site is completely on Host Baron, so normally their system is worse. Quote Link to comment

I have no idea why the CAC server is not working this morning The GCE site is completely on Host Baron, so normally their system is worse. In the "It never rains, but it pours" category... Something screwy is going on with my server, which runs, among other things the DNS on the CAC domain, and the CAC website (totally unrelated to earlier issues). The whole system seems unresponsive. I think it *might* be related to some outages on Telus's network last night. IIRC, I don't have anything set up to check connectivity on that end, so if something got dropped somewhere, it might think its connected, and not be. At this point I'll repeat my earlier offer/plea... if anyone else has access to somewhere that they can get a static IP, it would be nice if we had a backup server somewhere. I'm sure we could scrape together the hardware to run something. I'm going to drop an e-mail to the guy who's office its sitting in, and ask him if he'll hit the reset button. Hopefully that will get it at least to respond. If not, it might be a little while, as I currently have somewhat bigger fish to fry, as a can of diet coke just ruptured in my backpack, which had, among other things, my laptop in it. Seems my keyboard has gone non-responsive on me, and my mouse is locked up. I'm hoping once it dries out a little more, it will work again. Either that, or I'm going to have to dismantle it and see if I can find the problem (maybe wash in a little distilled water). Quote Link to comment

I should add, the server issues mean that my e-mail is down as well, so if anyone wants to reach me, PM me is probably the fastest way to get a hold of me (either that, or my normal userid@ucalgary.ca) Quote Link to comment
+ibycus Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 Just dropped an e-mail to the guy in question. Something very odd is going on. Looks like his domain is currently 'parked'. I wonder if he's going through an ISP change, and hasn't told me about it. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I should add that Graylling has a copy of the CAC website here: http://members.shaw.ca/caching/ I suppose we could bother him to add a note about the forums...... Quote Link to comment

According to Host Baron, they should be up and running tonight sometime. NOTE : I was able to extract all the e-mail addresses from the CAC databases and WAS going to send out an update e-mail today .... over 300 e-mail addresses though <gulp>. Does anyone want to take on this little project tonight in case they're not up tonight? Quote Link to comment
+DanOCan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Just tried now and got the following: phpBB : Critical Error Could not query config information DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1146 Table 'smeago00_phpb1.phpbb_config' doesn't exist SELECT * FROM phpbb_config Line : 215 File : common.php ------ Is this one of those situations where we should be thankful that we get a different error because that means someone is investigating the original problem? Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yes, the database has vanished. Hopefully this means they are trying to fix it and not that the database is gone...... Quote Link to comment
+ibycus Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well my end is back up (the DNS and the website), my laptop is still a bit screwy (the keyboard is acting 'funny') Quote Link to comment
BradGrier Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Geocachingedmonton.com is back up and running...I assume the Calgary Area Cachers forum will be too. Quote Link to comment
+tsunrisebey Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Hey all, I posted this in the geocoin trading thread but want to get it out here too. I am looking for a geocoin that has the Calgary Stampede theme. I saw one somewhere a few weeks back and really wanted one. I don't have much in the way of trading (still building my collection) but I'm willing to part with some of them if I have too or I will buy one. If you know of anyone who has an extra willing to part with it, please pm me or send me an email. Thanks, I appreciate it. Tsun Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The new coins are what you are thinking of. They just came out. I would suggest asking at the Calgary Forums. Quote Link to comment
