Chat down?

Post by Elwing »

Can't log into the Java chat, and I have used an IRC ap on my mobile device, but that does not work either. Server down? Halp! :puppy

It's wierd, I can log in from my mobile device. But I have uninstalled and re-installed java on my computer, and I can't log in. All I get is the log-in screen.

Fixed again. -.-

Tracking down the problem; I'm guessing it has to do with a PHP upgrade I made recently that I can't downgrade without nuking the server. This may continue to recur for a few days until I can get the server re-imaged.

Edit: Oh, good, it's not my fault; it's an unrelated upgrade the host did that also nuked the database server. Yaaay.

Thanks,

erm....

Actually I've been having trouble with the chat myself.... whenever I try to log in it says "this plugin is disabled" and shows a link to manage my plugins.... but AFAIK my plugins are OK and I'm reluctant to mess with anything ..... help?

Chat works fine for me, but there are two minor problems. As of today, it seems all system messages are replaced by the message "Undefined string".
Also, it is no longer possible to click hyperlinks, but it is still possible to cut and paste them.
so, small stuff, and I'm glad the chat works again:)

I'm very sorry that I have to bother you again, but it seems that the java chat went down again. I hope you can fix it, thank you very much

It's back up. I'm going to look into a way to auto-restart the Web server if it goes down until the source of the problem can be traced.

Okay, the Web server's back up and should automatically be restarted if it fails in the future. Unfortunately, I have to wait on some clients moving off of this server before I can perform a more permanent fix. But this issue should be resolved, so I'm closing as such. Thanks!
