Title: 10-5-2013 - Server Maintenance
Post by: Llewellyn on October 05, 2013, 03:41:16 PM
Greeting Fellow Sylvanites.

I am going to take some time today to perform my routine server maintenance.
Additionally, there is a service tech from my ISP coming out today around the same time to try and figure out what is going on with my internet.
Finally, During this downtime I am transferring hosting of SH to a friend's server for the duration of Tropical Storm Karen (or whatever strength it is when it finally makes landfall)

Stay safe, try not to get bored, and I will have everything back up and running as soon as possible.

Thank you for the update Llewellyn!  hopefully between the techs and you the problem is found and solved and that the transfer goes well and the storm doesn't hit you too hard

Got in just fine.  So far if there IS any lag I don't see it outside of normal ping delay for me

Just want to point out the first world save was 2.7 seconds.  A vast improvement from the 5 second saves

Server is not down, there are 3 currently connected.  Longest for 1 hour 30 minutes.

Verify that www.sylvanheart.net resolves to "68.59.98.20".


Start-> Run
Copy/Paste: cmd /k nslookup www.sylvanheart.net

You should see:
Server:  **********
Address:  ***.***.***.***

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    sylvanheart.net
Address:  68.59.98.20
Aliases:  www.sylvanheart.net

If it is NOT 68.59.98.20, your DNS hasn't caught up with the change.  Typing this in manually will work but it will be a temporary fix and you will wonder why it doesn't work when it switches back or my modem restarts, which ever comes first.

Try again, I just allowed a firewall exception for the server binary instead of the port required.  Although I wouldn't suspect that it would fix it, I can't think of anything off hand what it could be.

If you are experiencing issues still, please let me know.
