is music-electronics-forum down?

[mikeydee77]

I get a mesage saying the below

A System Error has occured.
The software is experiencing a systems error.
You should attempt to repeat your last action. If this error occurs again, please contact the site administrator.

Anyone know what's up ?

It's been three days. I sent an email to the admin, haven't heard back.

[mikeydee77]

OK, well hope it is just a glitch

The owner of the site, Tboy has had some health issues. One of the members at the MEF was able to talk to him after he was released from hospital a few months back but he wasn't going to be in a position to actively spend much if any time maintaining the site for awhile. He runs the site on a home server and he had to update certificates in the past and hadn't been able to do that at the time, which was why people had trouble getting into it the last time it was having issues. So long story short, there are still some issues going on there, and hopefully Tboy will regain his health soon and get the site operational again. It may be that he has to offload it to someone else down the road, but we'll see.

Heads up that the MEF site is back up.

nosaj advises Tboy has reported there's been a power outage.

Down again for a week or 2 now.

Yeah and this time it seems like it is more down than previous times. Can't even get it to load. Wonder if maybe some payment wasn't made or the DNS is messed up or something. When I tried to load the Sunn page it came back after a moment and basically showed that everything is working except the site itself, so the problem is with the server or some settings on that end of it seems like.

The site is down at present with a 404 message.

Good luck with that then.

[solderhead]

the HTTP error codes matter. the 404 error suggests that you're trying to load a specific page on the site, rather than the site's main page at it's home url. if you try to load the home url, the site responds with 502 bad gateway, which indicates that the problem is related to server-to-server com failures rather than missing pages -- that's an entirely different problem.

[JonSnell]

Correct.

Hopefully nosaj can get it figured out soon in between everything else he has going on.

Still down…. What a huge bummer. I miss this place. Anything we can do to help get it back up and running?
