Amibay.com currently offline

[Harrison]

Amibay.com is currently offline.

Thankfully this time it was not an attack on the site. The datacentre hosting the managed server thought it would be helpful to "upgrade" the server to different versions of both the Linux OS and the Apache server. These "upgrades" have caused a conflict with the code running Amibay and had caused it to stop running.

I am investigating the issue at the moment and hope to get the site back up and running as soon as possible.

Any questions, either post here, contact me directly on dave@classicamiga.com, or contact the Amibay Administration team on admin@amibay.com

Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience caused by the downtime.

Harrison (Dave)

Update.

I've been talking to the Amibay server's datacentre, and basically they have somehow managed to break the server (not impressed). They are therefore now in the process of migrating Amibay to a shiny new server (at the same monthly price). This should be completed by the weekend and Amibay should then be fully up and running.

I apologise on behalf of the Amibay staff for the downtime and any issues it might have caused with outstanding transactions. Once Amibay is back up and running can I please ask all sellers to honour interests posted last Monday and allow 1 week for interested buyers to make contact to complete sales as it might take them a couple of days to realise the site is back up and running.

Time permitting I will try and send out a global "welcome back" email to all Amibay members once the site it back to alert you all.

Any questions please ask, and please feel free to use this classicamiga forum to finalise any trades if you need (as the Amibay staff can have access to information here to maintain Amibay's moderator help during transactions).

[Phantom]

Okay Dave, it seems that AmiBay is immigrating to a brand new server it seems. Will you inform us here about the progress?

[Merlin]

Yeah, no problem, Antonis......:)

[Phantom]

Appreciated. :)

@ Thread

Good to see you all over here during the AmiBay outage.

[Harrison]

You had to sign up again? Did you have an old account? If so let me know the username and I can merge the accounts.

Regarding Amibay updates. Server migration is still in progress, so no news yet.

Twas the same Kin Hell Dave. I'm sure I signed up here way back in the very early AmiBay days. I recall you set up a chat room for the staff to use, which went down just about as well as a pork pie at a bar mitzvah.

[Harrison]

Ah, the chat room was attached to the main classicamiga.com site, not the forums, so you had an account registered on there (and should still have).

[Kin Hell]

Got a link Dave? I'm not seeing it.

/....Kin puts specs on.....

[Harrison]

A link to what? The main site http://www.classicamiga.com ? Just try logging in there.

[Kin Hell]

Can't log in with the usual UN & PW. The box popped up when loading your link as well as trying to sign in?

:)Hi,

Nice to see all AmiFriends here....

Life is hard without Amibay, right? :D

But I'm sure it comes back more powerfull than ever

[Amineo]

Hey guys! This makes Amiga forum number 3! :lol: :notworthy:

---------- Post added at 05:38 ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 ----------

So anyways, this is where everyone's hiding, huh. Seems like another nice Amiga related site :)

[Shambles1980]

its only a temp home for me unfortunatly..
im up to my forum limit. 3 forums is more than i can keep up with daily.
i tried to tell my phone to let me know when something needed checking, but it seems to tell me about 2-3 hours after i have already found out my self.

So Sorry for using the forum like a cheap date. but i guess im just a bad guy :(

[protek]

Hello, chums! :)

Had to sign up because I missed you so much. ;)

[Stephen Coates]

Wow, so many new CA members in the space of a day!

[skilgannon]

I think the Amibay upgrade issue was just a clever ploy to get us all over here ;) It worked hehe

[Kin Hell]

^^^^^^

A cunning plan indeed. :lol:

Nice to see you some more rkauer. Hope you're still bashing thos infernal Atari's when you can. :thumbs:

@ Harrison

Yeah, Java is enabled, but it appears ChrisUnion has the same issue. :huh2:

[Tiago]

Hi,
welcome to everyone !!

[Phantom]

Well. It seems that AmiBay is back online again. Just use http://www.amibay.com/index.php and not just http://www.amibay.com

[protek]

Good to hear the regular hangout is up and running again. :) Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind popping in here every now and then.

[Kin Hell]

Well. It seems that AmiBay is back online again. Just use http://www.amibay.com/index.php and not just http://www.amibay.com

Both are ok now. ;)

[Harrison]

It wasn't a bug, but just the redirect page needed removing. As I'm currently on limited connection until broadband gets connected at my new house , hopefully Thursday,I couldn't remove it myself, so had to wait for Andy (the other Amibay dev) to do it.

Amibay is however now fully back up and running on a brand new server. We will also be finally planning the site migration to vB4 in a few weeks, so Amibay will then work much like this forum.

[Phantom]

Some people still use Amigas with iBrowse. :huh:

[Harrison]

Do you mean compatibility with such old browsers?

There is the fallback mobile/retro version of the site, just like here.

[protek]

Amibay seems to be down again. I'm currently getting this error:

It's working again.

[Harrison]

Sorry guys. Was a typo I made in some site code I was updating.

[Kiro]

Down again ? I got a Internal Server Error 500.
