PEQ server has been down for 4 and half hours

[svyelunite]

Do we know what happened this time with the server? Last time was resetting a power seat or something like that, I was wondering if anyone knows if this time is related, or if its something else? I understand with the holidays and all, it could be a while until anyone gets a chance to work on it, it would just set me at ease knowing whats going on. Thanks.

Any news would be great. Also, does anyone know if there is a chat room for PEQ? I tried the irc channel for eqemulator but that didn't work.

According to traceroute, we appear to be having the same issue as before it came back up for two days.

Looks like we may have a potential network issue going on again.

I believe the PEQ irc channel still works -- it's #npcmovdb.

If anybody remembers, when we were moved to a different building they ran into several various (and oddly random) problems that prevented us from coming back up. One of the which was the AC in the new building was messed up, causing the machines to overheat. We (PEQ) had thought that they have since corrected that, but apparently not. The last time we went down was due to PEQ overheating, and I assume this time is the same issue. Last time I spoke with FNW he says he was told we aren't alone, and that many of the servers in the new building are having similar issues. Real good for business, eh?

The solution is real simple, FNW has to contact our ISP and request a reboot. But, he is currently away (not sure whether it is business or for the holidays) so that is the reason for the delay. Hopefully, he and I can also come up with a plan to prevent downtime like this in the future when he does come back.

So, just hold tight.

Thanks for the update, hot servers are never a good thing!

Thx Cavedude,

Nice to have news.

Merry Xmass to everybody

Yes, thank you for the update.

Now I can show my wife that it is not my fault that we can not get to the server.

The AC problem probably stems from the fact that normal AC units aren't menat to run in colder weather (which I'm assuming the building is currently located in an area that is colder right now) my uncle does some HVAC and the normal AC units run on freon which is used for the cooling, and freon's natural tendency is to go towards the colder air despite all the pumps and everything trying to make the unit work, so my guess is the AC units aren't working for that reason, or something, I don't really know how to fix that issue but yeah :P

if its hosted in a legit datacenter it shouldn't matter, datacenter hvacs are designed to work 24/7/365.

Whether it's a datacenter or a hobo's garage. PEQ will be back eventually.

It's like fishing. Gotta wait until they walk up to you, then take your pick and club one over the head. Haul it up onto your shoulders fireman carry and hope you don't inhale any of it's royal jelly.

Profit.
