If there is any service interruption, updates, server moves, etc. on the BroncosForums.com main server, status updates will be posted on this site, http://status.broncosforums.com.
Please bookmark this page, so you can check it if there is ever a problem with BroncosForums.com.
Any updates will be listed in chronological order below this message.
Due to the fact that the reboot I did earlier tonight took about 12 minutes, rather than the 2-3 minutes it normally would, there will be a few tests performed tonight. Right now, a tech in the datacenter is rebooting the server and watching the console to see if there is any indication why it is taking so long to reboot.
Then, at 3:00 am Central time, a tech from the linux management company that handles the Linux admin functions will perform a similar reboot test.
If either of those test reveal a problem (hardware or software), it could lead to further tests being performed overnight.
Site should be back up momentarily. It hadn’t been rebooted in a while, and need a reboot after a number of installs/updates in recent weeks.
We are trying to figure out why the server is failing to boot, whether it is a hardware or software issue.
The server seems to be unreachable. Not sure if it is a network or server issue. Checking now.
If you noticed BroncosForums running slow, or even unreachable at times, it is due to a problem at the datacenter where the server is located. They lost one of their core routers, so now that traffic is being rerouted and everything is running a little slow.
They say it will be resolved soon.
The BroncosForums.com server is up and the site is working fine. However, it is currently unreachable from some places do to an Internet/Network problem.
This type of network problem is usually fixed pretty quickly.
Ok, now we have errors on all pages, but the linux administration company is working on it and it should be resolved soon.
I am upgrading the security software on the server and at the moment there is an “Internal Server Error” if you go to the homepage, www.broncosforums.com. However, the forums work fine if you bypass the home page by going to www.broncosforums.com/forums
I am working to resolve this as quickly as possible. I will post additional updates here if necessary.
The datacenter where the server is located had a brief network problem. All should be back to normal now. Sorry about the brief outage.
About 10 minutes ago, the server became unreachable. I am working with the datacenter to see if the problem is on the server or in their network.
