So is the site fully restored yet?

[johnsemlak]

So the announcement 'Where not out of the woods yet' indicated that while EN World is back up, the fundamental problems haven't been resolved yet, right? Any update on how that's going?

 

[Piratecat]

Nope.

We went down earlier, along with all of Cyberstreet, then quickly came back up running a lot faster. I have no idea if that was the switchover or something completely different.

Thanks PC. Do tell us when you do know more.

And get Adlon here to tell us more of the juicy details of what went wrong (though, perhaps it may not be appropriate for this forum )

Nope.

I am not entirely certain how much of what was controlled by the different levels of providorship but based on what I am seeing (which is admitedly a limited amount of info) it may be reasonable to say that enworld's ip number would change if the ISP backbone providing service to cyberstreet changes.

Currently, enworld.cyberstreet.com resolves to:

66.216.61.114

If the above is true, then when the switchover does happen, you'll end up with a new IP number. Thus, giving you a little test to see when the switch over to the new provider has taken place.

Of course, if somehow cyberstreet is able to keep all its old ip numbers, then, the ip number, of course, won't change.. and this little test of "when does the switch over happen" won't really equate to anything ;-)

(i'm rambling, sorry).

Hey, i dont know if this is an option for you guys or if you'll consider it.

But i've been told that cologuys is a very reliable company to store your servers at.

www.cologuys.com

maybe its time to move eh?

Piratecat,

Thanks for the update. You and Morrus, along with all the moderators, are handling this mess with a lot of grace under pressure. (Of course, I still think that Morrus and Adlon may have grounds for legal action.)

 

[johnsemlak]

I just read Adlon's note at mortality.net, and honestly I couldn't make that much sence of it, other than the problem still needs to be resolved, even though the site is working OK now.

Any word on the situation now?

I'll give you what we've been told in a nutshell. The game plan is:

Cyberstreet plans to move its critical servers to the new Upstream Provider on the 5-16 to 5-19 weekend.

Other Cyberstreet servers (that's people like us and mortality.net) move sometime around Tuesday or Wednesday.

There may be some temporary downtime, but there will be some IP resolution changes, is the way we understand it.

This comes from the all-around great guy Adlon, who (just to remind everyone) is in the same boat.

 

[johnsemlak]

Thanks for the update. I'm sure this mess is really making some people extra busy.

If you want to meet our new upstream provider, go to www.neotechus.com. They have the largest pipe in the area, along with a good reputation.

Is it a bad sign that I can't get that webpage to load?
