Server Going Down (10/3)

Yes, we are aware that the server went down at about 12:30 today (or a tad earlier). We are also aware that you are having difficulties logging in. This will be fixed as quickly as possible.

I simply ask from you three things:

1) DON'T email [violet] or Max about this. I'll take care of this and they don't need thousands of additional e-mails in their inboxes.
2) Post ALL discussion about the crash in this thread. Let's keep the other forums clean.
3) And finally, DON'T MAKE ANY NEW NATIONS!!!!!

Thanks.

What's happened to the server this time?

Less than an hour ago, everything just froze. I went out, got some food, came back, read a bit of news, and when I tried again it was up again.

EDIT: What was most worrying was the sense of feeling lost and uncertain. :shock:

What's happened to the server this time?

Generally the answer to that question means the problem is either resolved or about to be resolved. The current situation could be an exception, but the odds are against it. Either way, there's nothing any player can do other than just wait it out. On the positive side: nothing's happening in the game anyway, so we're not missing anything other than gametime.

Time to read a book! Or the forum. Ok, forum it is :D

The Forum is OK, but all UN functions are broken, and I can't log into any of my nations in NS World. At first I was worried about my regional security, but if everyone else is locked out . . .

If they invaded, and then the server crashed, and it didn't get back until just before the UN update, so you wouldn't have time to kick them all out before they got the delegacy...

One weird thing that I've noticed with crashes:

Goobergunchia can never log in to the forums during a crash. However, Terminated California, which has the same password as Goobergunchia, can. Which is annoying, because Goobergunchia is a much better country than this one....

When the server comes back up, change the password to Goobergunchia, and then change it back to what it was. Then try again at the next server crash :D

I believe that when the server goes down hard (as it appears to have here) it does properly load all of the servers when it reboots. Thus, not all functions are available. I have already put the necessary gears into motion to resume the game. However, the next steps depend upon other people and thus I do not know how quickly the game will be back up.

Yes, this would be my guess. However, please think of the level of access that I'd need to the server to even get a command line? That is much higher that GM access and opens the server up to many vunerabilities.

Now, imagine the level of access I'd need to restart the daemons . . . probably close to root. [violet] doesn't know me that well. I wouldn't trust a random stranger helping me out over the web with root access. I've done the next best thing which is send a message out to everyone with the necessary access level.

It's safe to logout from the forums using that link, because when you click the Forums link on the main page, you'll be logged back in again anyway.

Well, you don't seem like the sort to "rm -rf /"... ;)

And you actually wouldn't need any access over a normal commandline user to restart the daemons. All they'd need to do is provide you with a means of restarting them, such as a shell script (I haven't the knowledge to do it myself though. all they'd need to do is make it executable by everyone, and only read-/writeable by the creator, so it'd hide all the passwords. I haven't done a lot of security work with Linux, though, so I'm not sure if this is practical; I only ever used it for programming in C... :P)

Ah, so the original password is how it works . . . I've been trying to track that down.

Qaaolchoura: I think that forum accounts won't be created for nations which are created now. You can try to login to it if you want. As far as fixing it . . . it is doable, but difficult. We'd need to get [violet] in on it (I think).

Yea Goobergunchia, I can't log in as my main nation, Luna Amore, either.
Nor can Nu Metal.

It makes me wish that I had changed and forgotten the original password on Qaaolchoura so that I can join in the posting-with-puppets-because-we-have-to-game.

You are immediately bumped off of it.

Oh great !

I get started and I'm a newbie just starting out, learning to play and all and the server goes down !

That makes me so mad ! Why I ought to... I'm going to...I'll just...

wait it out :D

Hope it gets fixed soon. Godspeed to the Techs working on this.

Funny that someone mentioned crashers using the outage to their advantage...now I'm sure cunning has nothing to do with it, but a couple of small non-UN nations attempted a crash on my region Nasicournia right before it went. Kind of freaky to wake up, hear you're being crashed, and then find you can't log in! :-P To make it worse, invision just went down for upgrading. So no regional forum either! lol

Basically, it'll be up whenever someone with the proper access notices, and presses the big, red, candy-like button that says "reboot".

Is this the end of NS? Will our heroes ever be able to reach their precious nation?

Will Resi ever be on for more than 5 minutes?

These questions and more will be answered tomorrow!
