FeedsSite Troubles
Apr/26/2004 09:33 AM
Seems that there was been a number of issues with this website recently. I think the main issue is that the server this page is hosted on has been under a DOS attack for the past week or so. This has been causing pages not to load and to timeout. It has also hindered my abilty to update the site. At the same time, the server seems to be having some trouble fetching information from other sites. This could be caused by some blocks the server admin has been putting in place to try and control the attack. So, this has caused the weather and news functions to no longer work. Now, I also seem to be having a bit of trouble with the Cost of War item on this page. Looks like these features will not be working for a bit. Hopefully all will be well soon. If not, looks like there will be another server move in the future. I really hope not though.

Yeah, actually I was trying to update the other day and it didn't work. Seems it was the weather coding. I just cut that out of my page though, then it worked. Hopefully it will be better soon :d

Yea, the server seems to have blocks on certain sites. I logged into the server, and loaded up a webbrowser on the server. Then tried to access some sites. Many loaded just fine. But some, like www.wunderground.com did not load. That is where the weather data comes from. I had to remove the weather code from my site too. But, there are other sites that don't load too. I have the RSS news links on my page from Cliesource and Daily Gadget, but neither of those sites can be accessed from the server. I will have to contact the web admin guy and get this figured out. I like having the weather feature on my site, it says me a trip to weather.com. I am lazy, I need this.
