Why were the forums offline?


Recommended Posts

Some members are reporting they can not access the forums.

I couldn't access it for the whole of sunday and then this morning I decided to check my Hosts file ( x:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ) and found this fugga in there from the server switch earlier this year...

69.93.217.132 www.neowin.net

...I commented it out and everything works now. A "tracert neowin.net" points to 67.19.42.36 so that would explain why (Y)

(Although I doubt the other people having problems accessing NW have the same glitch)

I think thats the one, except few a few extra goodies.

i thought it should have been that one as Redmak mentioned earlier that they are using a raid1 configuration and that plan's the only one with a raid1 config. :)

That was my problem, as well.

Sorry...it was driving me crazy.


i was wondering when someone was gonna fix that up

so how much will this new config really help us out?

considering there is already a backup (just that its real time?)

Warning: load_template(./skin_cache/cacheid_/skin_global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/neowin/public-html/forum/sources/functions.php on line 367

edit: it was the hosts file. he fixed it.
