Website Down?

[Joseph Simons]

Tried checking it yesterday and was unable. Same with today. Tried other checking sites like http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/http://www.altdevblogaday.com/, it also reports it as down.

Altdev.co is up, but still in a very incomplete state (I'm not even listed as an author and none of my articles are on there, for example).

down for me too

I'll have a look...

Some kind of server error on the host. Reported issue with host. Now we're waiting.

Re altdev.co - I need to reimport the db. (It doesn't have anything new since the last time I did it.)

[Mike Acton]

think things are up and running again. Meh. This is part of the reason we need to move to the new server. 

[Fredrik Alströmer]

I'm only getting 404s now, new issue or is it the same thing again? Also, I have a draft sitting around on altdev.co, if you reimport the db will I lose the draft?

[Mike Acton]

Argh another sever issue.

Might lose the draft so grab a backup. Send me link and I'll try to keep it too

[Joseph Simons]

I also am only getting 404 errors.

[Mike Acton]

Yup. Problem unknown atm. Also somewhat difficult to test. Hoping I can get thing limping along tonight. then I'll get back on the server move. enough is enough.

[Mike Acton]

Okay. Server issues are more problematic than expected. I'm flipping the switch to redirect to the new site now.

Following that I'll recopy the old database to make sure we pick up everything. There will be a short delay (hopefully not more than a couple of days) while I get that up to date. E3 week is busy.

I'll keep any new posts or drafts added on the new site in the meantime.

Thanks Mike, you're a legend :)

also, the game looks ace!

[Mike Acton]

404s should be resolving once DNS propogates fully - most everyone should be already. I'll have everything else moved over this week. Sorry for the downtime everyone. The new server should stand up way better. Totally dedicated box 

[Hubert Rutkowski]

Cool to see a new Altdev, and things happening :)

Probably somewhere in the moving one of my articles get lost... it was named Digital Dragons 2014 - from indie perspective

[Mike Acton]

Old server recovered (with db) - now I just need to reconfigure it a bit so I can access it without affecting the domain name (that's now being redirected) and we'll be back in business. 

[Fredrik Alströmer]

Sorry for asking, I don't mean to impose, I'm just a bit confused as to what the current status is :) altdevblogaday.com is redirecting to altdev.co; should I simply just start working with that one instead, or is it just a temporary switch until stuff gets sorted out?

[Mike Acton]

Work on the new one yes. I need to import the missing bits from the old database piece by piece which is why it's taking a while. But it'll get there!
