TWC is down. Does anyone know why?
One hour after you posted I could see the site.
Just visited - it's ok.
Downtime seems to occur every few weeks, not much, probably just maintainence.
Downtime on TWC is caused by process lockup due to kernel incompatibility. This needs to be fixed in the near future. It's throwing up 500 errors. I tried to reset the server but then it just hit a database error and went back to throwing 500 errors. Going to have to wait for Sim or GED since I don't have shell access or the requisite process killing instructions.
It appears to be down again, is it only me?
It's down.
Crap. I hate it when my favorite site goes down.
@Augustus: Do you have Astaroth's e-mail? I need to get my TWCU classwork to him ASAP. Thanks.
I have his email, but I'll have to ask him if it's okay to disclose his email to you first. But I imagine TWC will be back on soon enough, so it's okay.
Okay, thanks. Tell me your username on TWC and I'll rep you when the site goes back up.:2thumbsup:
TWC is Stupid! Its forever going down. You don't get that with the org!
They're both good sites. Find something productive to say.:whip:

Down again?
We used to get our database down... it is not happening anymore, thanks to Tosa I'd say.
Hello,
does anybody know if TWC is ever coming back up again? :beam: It's been down for the past 3 days or so... Could anybody else confirm that please? I hope they have not closed it...
I've had no problems getting in the past three days.
Neither have I, but there is a thread in the Questions & Suggestions forum from people with the same problem. Some have been able to log in again using a proxy, although others do use proxies and are still unable to log in. Simetrical has asked for a detailed error report so he can figure out what is going on.

I can't also open twc's site. Heh. WHO'S THE REFUGEE NOW!? :whip: Now gimme all your money!
Ive had no problems in the past few days.
Hello as a refugee I managed to fool the system and cross the borther via Finland VPN connection :oops:
see the link below...

Thanks Ludens for logging it with the guys in TWC... My O2 home ISP is somehow blocking the site access... only VPN'ing it via Finland I'm able to use my ISP... need to whip some as***s :whip:
Does anyone know if this could be down to TWC rather than ISP blocking contents?
Cheers
Contacting the TWC Admins should do teh trick.
Yes we did so and they seem to be on the case... apparently they are having troubles with their host and level3 network unaccessible... just waiting and see :inquisitive:Quote:

Hi folks, I have the same problem like some others. I can't access twcenter, timeout, he says. Goes like this for more than a week. Tried three browsers & ipod.
What is going on there? Any solution in sight?
Btw, twcenter is only one of the two boards I follow on a regular basis. (Org! Org!) :juggle2:
The current problem at TWC seems to be only affecting some people - they're trying to fix it with some stuff I don't understand at all....

Everyone, please provide the exact error messages you get. Just saying "it doesn't work" is basically useless for debugging. What exactly happens when you try to use the site? Does a blank page show up? Does the little icon that shows it's loading just spin forever and nothing happens? Does an error message pop up? The text of any error messages is absolutely essential here, if there is one.

Ok then, I'll be glad to have some means of communication to the center, however.
1.Exactly that. White screen, it loads and loads and then gives me a timeout.Quote:
Good: "Whenever I try to go to any TWC page, I get a white screen and it just says 'Waiting for twcenter.net' in the lower left corner, and the page never loads, but I never get an error message either."
2. I'm sitting in Germany, timezone should be GMT+1 (summertime, so +2, i guess). Have the same issue since maybe one week. Roundabout.
3. ISP is Deutsche Telekom, and the location is Germany, like stated above.
4. axint.net does work, but it takes quite long to load.
5. Did what you wrote, and the result looks like this:

I honestly hope this helps. Miss me twcenter. :help:
Ok thanks, have pasted that into the connection problems thread there and suggested they come here to talk to you if they need other info. :thumbsup:
I have been on the phone with both Axis and with Level 3, and it seems there might be a border gateway issue on the Level 3 network.
I have a request from Axis (our host) for failed tracerts that INCLUDE the originating IP address. Most of you are removing the first 2 hops or so from your home network. I understand if you dont want to post them publicly for whatever reason but you can definitely feel free to PM them to me. Sim and I have your IP addresses anyways, but we need every hop to make sure nothing on your network got blacklisted because someone set up a spam mailer or some other kind of crap and then got canned by Level 3.
I dont usually check my .Org PMs that often but I will be for the next few days.
Thanks a lot, Makanyane. It seems like the problem has been solved; at least I can access the site now. Hope it lasts. :2thumbsup:
So ur on the couch makin out wit ur huny and the phone rigns. You pik it up and a man sez "wut r u duin wit my daughter?". You put the pone down and tell ur huny and she sez "My dad dyed 8 years ago"Quote:

Roflmao,
trying to understand your post was quite a challenge. I'm afraid I failed.
Damn, again? I suppose ill download a MTW mod to keep my mind off it.
Just me or is it downa againa nd just after i stop the CTDing on my sub-mod
it's random things like these that make me LOVE technology!!!
I honestly think if we didn't have the internet, everyone would be happy, and not complaining about technical difficulties, such as the ones I am experiencing with twcenter.net
OMG, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE, SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!!
It's back :D

What I find most amusing by far is my reply to ROFLMAO. It is truly epic.Quote:

You have a point there, but please, do use punctuation :wink:. It took me almost a minute to decipher your post. If not for your location, I would have though you were a foreign speaker, like me :grin: But yeah, this is serious business. I hope TWC has better protection. And why are those blokes consistently targeting us? Oh, and once again, Firefox triumphs! Or anything but IE, as it is the IE users that caught the infection.Quote:

Don\'t know. Someone who got banned from twc and org is trying to pay back?Quote:

According to EuropaBarbarorum.com yesterday.

More forum woes as the TWCenter suffers from lack of capcity to handle an increased number of visitors to their forums. (Quite possibly to do with the fact that the Guild suffers from downtime.) Currently trouble with their database will prevent you from visiting either of our forums.
Doubt it has anything to do with server load.
TWC has had more people on their servers for example when the .org was down last time and the servers held up just fine then.
There is a TWC Refugees social group here
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/group...#gmessage14444
Heh.. There is a Org Tavern in twc for Org refugees and now there is a twc refugees social group in here! It's like war have gone over those to sites!
When I try to enter at TWC it shows a page stating that it has a Database Error
"Database error
The database has encountered a problem. "
I ve tried Firefox and it shows the same error.
Posting from Mexico or central time of Us and Canada.
Anyone knows the reason for this?
Any news on why TWC is down, and when it will possibly be back online?
And is the org still having problems? Seems it has a very generic skin for me, even without any avatars, smilys and such.
cheers
i'll copy-paste TosaInu's post he made in Watchtower. This might explain why Org looks like that.

Aye, thats what I get too. I suppose no one knows what that means
I have exactly the same problem. For three days:
Database Error Database error
The database has encountered a problem.
Yes, we all get that message.
I'm starting to get the funny feeling that someone doesn't like us.
Argh.. No TWC, the apocalipse is coming!! :D
Back up and running people.
The database got corrupted at some point, so Sim restored from the most recent backup, meaning some 6 hours of activity were lost. Backups have now been set to run every 6 hours rather than every 24, so as to further minimise data loss.
The length of downtime was due to its timing, as Sim is away for the Sabbath, sunset Friday EST to sunset Saturday. Let's hope there aren't any downtimes coinciding with Passover.
Little comfort to me, as I got my two rep points and 20 posts lost. Now I have just 22 posts and no rep. And those posts were mostly quite long and informative, with screenshots as well. Another words, heck of a lot of time wasted.Quote:

Lol. I find my answer amusing. And uttering Jesus in vain in Portugal is as common as elsewhere. Thinking it would be something shocking and irreverent here is odd, though.Quote:

Its really happening a lot these days?
Once again it has been struck down why'll i was reading and working on mods at least i got the abttle of pelanor to keep me occupoied for 4 mins
In case anyone was wondering, Simetrical was adding a binary logger, thus taking down the site for a few minutes. AFAIK, this would work as a kind of interim backup, meaning far less data would be lost in event of another data-corrupting crash (which aren't that frequent anyway, this last one being the first to happen since July 2007). In his own words,
I'll set up my machine to pull the binlogs every hour, so in theory even if the data center gets hit by a meteor and the TWC server becomes a puddle of molten metal, we'd still lose at most an hour's data. I'll still only pull the full dump every week.
I'm guessing that contingency plans still have to be made to locate the physical backups outside the blastzone, so that data loss can be minimised in the event of an asteroid strike.
Ehhm TWC is down again for me, it shows an Internal Error in the Server (HTTP 500)
Maybe they are in maintenance?
No worries dude. I guess its only a usual downtime. It was down yestarday too at the same time. Probably will be back on soon.:yes:
