ALFA Downtime

Post by FoamBats4All »

Starting tomorrow morning (~8:00am PST, 4:00pm GMT), ALFA will be taken down. The website and forums will be available at alandfaraway.info, and a temporary redirect will be provided to anyone visiting alandfaraway.org

Activity on the servers will not be functioning in the meantime.

Unfortunately with the nature of the change (some of which is out of my control) doesn't let me provide an exact time table. Normal activity will be restored as soon as possible.

BG and MS are up, in addition to web services.

WHL and TSM hosts can do the following, or provide me with access to log into the host boxes.
  • Open a command prompt and navigate to NWNX4's temp folder, then into the NWN2ACR folder.
  • Run plink.exe alfa@sql.alandfaraway.info
  • Hit "y" and enter. Close the command prompt.
  • In the NWNX4 folder, edit DatabaseConnector.ini
  • Edit>Replace or Ctrl+H to open the replace dialog.
  • Find "alandfaraway.org" and replace with "alandfaraway.info"
  • Start the server.

I'm not home until late today, but if WHL and TSM aren't alive by the time I'm home (~2200 US Central) I can take the defibrilator to them.

Need to wait on someone with admin access on TSM to get that and the IRC bot going.

Everything else, however, seems to be working.

Everything should be up now, aside from the IRC bot.

Let me know if you run into any issues.
