Sorry about the downtime

[cscgal]

I apologize for the downtime we've experienced over the past couple of days. We were in the process of moving servers, and it's finally compete :)

Sorry for any inconvenience,
Dani

Yes ... daniweb had become readonly in this period :D

[cscgal]

Sorry ... but hopefully from now on we'll be faster. Do you notice any difference?

how long is this going to go on anyway? I still cannot access it from IE6 -- Firefox works ok.

[cscgal]

Everything should be perfectly fine as of yesterday. I am an IE 6 user myself so DaniWeb definitely works in IE. Additionally, I'm in NY and the server is down in Texas, so it's not as if I have any special connection to the web server. If you can't access the site from one browser but you can from another on the same machine, I suspect you have something cached or perhaps a software firewall is acting up.

It's a good thing you fixed it, ya know, us Daniweb Junkies go through serious withdrawal when the site goes down ;)

[tayspen]

Tell me about it :) Seriously though, glad its all working :D.

Looks like the butterfly effect to me. ;)
Glad the server is up anyway. I actually started reading a book during the downtime. :cheesy:

[cscgal]

There really hasn't been any consistant downtime. We were down two or three times over the past week, with no time being for more than an hour, in addition to about 5 hours during which DaniWeb was read-only while the database was being transferred to the new server.

There really hasn't been any consistant downtime.

yeah. That maybe why I couldn't finish reading. :sad:

The IE6 is at work and FireFox is at home, about 20 miles away in a different city. I'm in Illinois and will try again this morning when I get to work.

[cscgal]

Is it possible there is a proxy server at work that is caching the old DNS?

[cscgal]

For some reason, your work is caching the old IP of daniweb.com. Until your work decides to update their DNS (grr) you can access DaniWeb from http://web.daniweb.com

[Ancient Dragon]

Hurray! The link worked. Thanks :)

[cscgal]

Hehe, yup. Not sure why your work doesn't want to update their DNS entry to point http://www.daniweb.com to the web.daniweb.com server.
