URGENT - Web Site Down

[Andrew Godden]

I have just noticed the Bluegrass Airlines web site is down.

Allan and Bill have been working with the web hosting providers to get the site switched to the new server location.

At this stage, I can only assume this is why the site is down.

Either way, we hope to have the Bluegrass Airlines site updated and back online ASAP.

Sorry about that, things have moved faster in some respects than expected (a couple of hours instead of the five days quoted), which caught me out. Also I had not expected the registry host to change the name server pointers at all until agreed with current and future hosts. Not that it takes much to confuse me on the web. Anyway the details on web pointers should get sorted out soon, I hope.

Bill has been kindly hosting the site on his own account, and the intention of the move was to take that responsibility off his shoulders.

An abrupt departure in the dead of night was decidedly not part of the script.

As of 1840GMT the registry has been updated to point to the new host site. This can take a day or so to work its way round the web.

The web-site is back up at my location: (N.E. United States)

From past experience I know that it can take a day or so to promulgate the new DNS (domain name servers) thoughout the entire internet world.

Thanks to Allan and Andrew for the great job!

Yes, thanks Allen and Andrew! You guys work hard, if there's anything I can do? I'm not a programmer, but more of a creative person If you need liveries made or updated, that I can do! Or, if you need a modest donation to help with server cost, that I can do too

[Allan_Lowson]

Thanks Fran, the Bluegrass scheme for the MAAM DC-3 is one of my favourites. If your creative muse takes a fancy to any particular plane do feel free to have a go.

As we shift server the pirep system may have a few hiccups, so try to keep a note of flights and any posts that may disappear.

The wbsite seems to be up but I can't logon to post a PIREP.

[Allan_Lowson]

Thanks John, one or two bumps in the road may come along. We hope to be fixed soon.

Cheers,
Allan

Have not been able to access PIREPS for some time now as the site is DOWN. What is the latest?

[Allan_Lowson]

I'm looking at the database links issue now and hope to fix it one way or another this weekend, that and half a dozen EU reports for clients.....


PS There are some bits of code that need to be edited in the various forms of the pirep system, so I'll work my way through them over the next couple of days.

[2laurie4]

Thanks Allan, I will just keep storing the PIREPS until all your good work is done.

[Allan_Lowson]

I think that I have fixed the internal coding, but am still having a few glitches with the system emails.

Once I have cracked the email problem, and done a bit of gardening that SWMBO is insisting on, I will upload the corrected files and then we will see if I got it right.

[Ed Burke]

Good on you Allan, don't blow a fuse over this one, maybe it will 'heal'. Meanwhile the garden gnomes need warmer clothes.

[louross]

Well, just to get in here, I can't log in today, AG 21. "Apparently, there's a malfunction."

[Ed Burke]

Yep, likewise Lou. I've been getting "Could not connect to the Database." for ever now.

[Allan_Lowson]

I got the emails working - but seem to have hit a snag in the database backup and restore.

Cue more clattering and cussing under the hood.......

rest assured that the original data is safe while I take a hide hammer to a copy.
