+D_Skids Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Does anybody know what has happened to the Geocache UK site as it has been unavailable for a few days now? I know they were having problems with there Stats pages etc and were looking at moving servers but I didn't notice any announcements about the being down for a while. Many Thanks Darren Quote Link to comment
+hants_bluepants Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I couldn't access the site yesterday but I've just logged on a few minutes ago without any problem. Quote Link to comment

+NickandAliandEliza Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 If you try .org instead of .com - it should work. Quote Link to comment
+Birders Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 <<If you try .org instead of .com - it should work. >> But that brings up a front page which is 5 months out of date and still has Mark's email address for contacts!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sorry Cant sort it till Ian gets back .org or .net will take you to an old page (will try to change that later if I can get access) or try http://stats.guk2.com/ and http://www.trigpointinguk.com/ any problems please let me know Brian Quote Link to comment

Mark had his site set up how he wanted. I am still trying to figure out he had it all configured. .com .org and .net are all on different servers (I think) I changed the .com page but that server is closed and until Ian can get it pointing to another server I am struggling Quote Link to comment

+kbootb Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 If you try .org instead of .com - it should work. Looks like there has been a change in registration of the Domain Name geocacheuk.com The record was updated on 30/10/04 and is now in teasel's hands geocacacheuk.org is still registered to Mark Thompson and is active until 6 May 2005 Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Yes . Should clear soon (I hope) Ian has posted more info Here. I have changed (as best as I can) the page on .org and .net. But they are written using blocks and think one of the blocks is missing. I cant get access to the .com server to copy the missing block across. Looks like I may have to write a new page. But I will wait till Ian gets back first. sorry for any inconvenience Brian Quote Link to comment
+Teasel Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I've changed the DNS over to the new server, which might cure things, but I may have to do some fiddling once I get back from holiday. Ever since Mark died, getting control of geocacheuk.com domain has been a real headache and a bit of a worry. But the domain transfer finally happened a couple of days ago. However it looks like the old web hosting account has now been terminated, hence the problems. But we're now down to just 2 web servers (from 7 at one point!), so we're getting there! Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment

Deego Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 The GeocacheUK.com address is now working again. Sorry for the hold up, but it was out of our control. Brian Quote Link to comment
