+Lizzy Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 I just received this when I went to my home page..."This account has been suspended - please contact our billing department". Ouch. I've used this as my jump off point for geocaching stuff for 2+ years. Anyone else who uses this - have any ideas as to what happened? Quote
+gpsfun Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Can you provide the URL of the site you are accessing? Quote
+The Leprechauns Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Lizzy is referencing geocachingadmin.com. Quote
+Lizzy Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Lizzy is referencing geocachingadmin.com. Yep - just didn't want to post it. I knew I'd possibly get an answer from someone who knew which site I was talking about. Quote
+Thrak Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 GAH!!!! This is where I start my day. It's the place where I keep all my links for everything. What's up with this? Quote
+Lil Devil Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Sorry about that folks. I got a new credit card a few months ago and canceled the old one. I have my website host set for yearly renewal and it's been automatic the last 3 years so it totally skipped my mind to update my records there. I have the same page mentioned above as my home page so when I first opened my browser this morning I saw the same problem and got it fixed. Quote

+deBruineBeren Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Problems with the creditcard again ? The site seems to be down. Quote
+Lizzy Posted September 8, 2008 Author Posted September 8, 2008 Problems with the creditcard again ? The site seems to be down. Yep, noticed that again this morning. Hope they get it fixed. Quote
+Thrak Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Been checking all morning - ever since I got to work at 7:30. Almost 10:00 here and still down. It's my main page as well. Quote
+Lil Devil Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Gee I was gone all day long (not caching, unfortunately) and all hell breaks loose I just checked my host's support site and there is a note from 6:30 a.m. saying that the "server is currently offline due to some emergency maintenance." They apparently finished sometime during the day since it seems to be working fine now. Emergency maintenance is not limited to Groundspeak, it seems Sorry for the inconvenience.

+gpsfun Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Now that the Geo Admin site is humming nicely along again, here's something that can be done to provide a backup for the rare occasions when the site is not available. 1. While viewing the Geo Admin site, select File, Save Page As (or Control+S) 2. Choose a folder and enter a file name like My Dashboard or whatever you like 3. Save as type: Web Page, complete 4. Go to the folder where the file was saved, create a shortcut for the file, and place that on your desktop The saved page will have all of the links including those you may have added, and can be used if the Geo Admin site is unavailable.

+Harwell5 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Did a search and this was the only thing I found. Is the geocachingadmin.com site not operational now? What did I miss? Quote
+GeoJunkie Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 It appears to be a different issue this time. Like the index file is gone. All I get is a directory listing, which we shouldn't be seeing. Hopefully Lil Devil will be checking on it soon! Quote
+De Roode Loper Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Know's anybody if they're working at the problem? Quote
+GeoJunkie Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I don't know if anyone had done it yet, so I sent Lil Devil an email letting him know what's up. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon. Quote
+Thrak Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 It's been down for a couple of days now and it's making me crazy. No idea what the problem is but I keep all my daily links there. I surely do hope the page comes back soon........ Quote
+wimseyguy Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I swapped emails with Lil devil. He's having issues with the host. Since we're about to enter a holiday weekend, I suggest that you all consider alternative methods of storing your links and accessing your data for a few days. Then again, the egg farmers might be happy with nuking their meals while working on the technical difficulties. Quote

I considered sending email to Lil Devil but didn't want to hassle him since I thought a bunch of folks might have the same thought. I also thought he might be out of town for the holidays and unaware of the issue or unable to take care of it until he returned. Quote
+Patuxent Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I had always assumed that geocachingadmin.com was a Groundspeak site. It isn't? Good advice on saving the page to disk. Hopefully when it comes back, my links are still there. Quote

+Lil Devil Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 They finally replaced the contrary server with a new one, so hopefully these recurring down times should be a thing of the past. Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. Quote

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. Thanks for all you do. This is definitely one of my favorite little sites! I visit it as often as I visit GC.com. In fact, the vast majority of my visits to gc.com start with your site! Quote
