server Issues / Can't access SOTT

Laura said:
I can't access either. Mr. Scott might hopefully sort it out when he's had some sleep.

I reckon we must be ruffling some feathers or rattling some bushes.

Exactly. Hope you will fix it very soon! One day without SOTT is a very hard thing to live. :)
 
Hi,

I cleared my browser data yesterday, and today I noticed that when I go to sott.net, it redirects me to an Asus login page - http://www.sott.net/page/login.html

And when I click on a direct link to a sott article, I get a text on my browser saying:
Access Error: Access Denied

Is the site down for maintenance, or have I been banned in some way? I have never had to log-in before. I don't even have a sott account. My cookie settings are also fine. Any help would be appreciated.

D'Ankhiar, I merged your post with the already existing one. See Mr. Scott's last message from early morning his time:

Thanks for that, Alana. I should have looked some more before writing yet another post on the subject.

Hope it gets fixed soon.
 
The withdrawal symptoms are real! :scared:

Hope SoTT and its readers will get their fix soon.
 
It's possible that the hosts have a DNS server issue. I've seen this before in my line of work.

If you guys know the actual IP address of the site, can you access it by IP address only rather than domain name? This would assist in determining whether its the DNS or something else.

The ASUS login looks like the DNS is pointing to a server's remote management screen (which will be a different IP).

Please come back soon! :(

Trying to browse straight to 162.159.250.111 results in :

So, I don't think it would be as simple as a DNS error. Maybe? But not likely. Maybe some "hyperdimensional hacking" that compromised the physical hardware irreparably? :P

Yep, no SOTT here either. Hope it's back soon, don't want to rely on "other" news sources :pinocchio:.
 
I've been getting the ASUS login page all morning.

when searching for a mirror site i was directed to a cloud stored cashed page from yesterday, but can't even get that one now.

I hope you manage to get it fixed soon, good luck and all the best.

So, the latest news is the RAM is not bad, so that's not it.

Hosting company claims to have removed the KVM add-in board, but they refuse to actually go to http://www.sott.net to see that no, in fact it is still there!

I can't seem to get a straight answer from them as to why this screen is there, if they changed the network/server in some way (they did, on August 12th, when they upgraded their datacenter), and so on...

In short, I think they changed something and broke it, but they won't even acknowledge that all of us are seeing the Asus iKVM login screen.

It's a bit like pulling teeth at this point...
