Topic: Downtime

As you might have noticed, PunBB.org has been unreachable for half a day or so. I was going to attempt to move the nameservers over to Textdrives nameservers, but for some reason it failed and the result was that there were no nameservers assigned at all! I'm sorry for this. I'm back on the old nameservers now (eNom), but I'll probably move over in a day or two. I'll try not to screw up this time :)

Re: Downtime

ah, I wondered what had happened ... and did an nslookup ... and figured it was either of 2 things ... 1. you had forgot to pay the annual fee, or 2. that the DNS had screwed up ... smile

Re: Downtime

Just did a traceroute to PunBB.org.

comox.textdrive.com (70.84.29.148)

Can we use this IP in our hosts file?

Re: Downtime

That IP loads the main TextDrive site.

Perhaps this will work better:
http://www.textdrive.com/~punbb/

Re: Downtime

has been the DNS host of choice for most of the TextDrive peoples when they've needed an offsite host.

highly recommended.

Re: Downtime

hcgtv: If you want to, yes. It will work as long as the IP remains the same.

Smartys: True, but if you add it to your hosts file, the browser will send the host header and apache will serve the correct virtual host. Using textdrive.com/~punbb will give you problems with cookies.
