    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.

    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.

    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? It's been down for the past 3 days or so... Could anybody else confirm that please? I hope they have not closed it...

    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.

    Hello Ludens and others,

    Could you give me details of the proxy? I can't access the thread linked above either What's going on... I have had no problems since I started using that site in 2004

    Hello as a refugee I managed to fool the system and cross the borther via Finland VPN connection

    see the link below...

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...=263273&page=2

    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

    Does anyone know if this could be down to TWC rather than ISP blocking contents?

    Cheers

    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

    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!)

    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....

GED has said our host filed a complaint with Level 3 about it yesterday afternoon, so hopefully it will be resolved at some point soon, but we can't control when.
    earlier Simetrical asked
    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.
    and suggested details for doing that:
    Quote Originally Posted by Simetrical

    When reporting problems, please include all of the following info if possible (especially points 1–3, but the more the better):

    1. The exact text of any error messages you got (translated to English if they aren't English to begin with), or the exact symptoms of the problem if you don't get an error message. Bad: "TWC isn't working, I'm getting timeout errors". Good: "My browser is giving me the error " 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. The exact time and date that the problem occurred, if possible, with time zone. Bad: "I've been having problems over the past few days." Good: "I first tried accessing the site at 9:22 AM Berlin time, and got error messages until 10:15 AM, when I gave up. It worked again at about 3:30 PM."
    3. Your ISP, and location. (I could probably figure this out myself, but it's easier if you tell me.)
    4. Does http://axint.net/ work when TWC seems to be down?
    5. Go to Start → Run → cmd.exe and type "tracert twcenter.net", then paste the output here. You may want to erase the first couple of IP addresses in the trace, since they could be used to pin down your exact area, but that's probably overly paranoid.

    If you can't provide all of this info (e.g., you didn't write it down), then that's okay, but it will make it much harder for me to figure out what's causing the error. So please, make sure you write down all the details I've asked for the next time the problem happens. Otherwise I'm going to have a lot of trouble doing anything, since I can't reproduce the issue myself.


    Some people have posted info that seems to have helped them track possible source of problem down - but they're obviously limited to those that have another connection that works - if you're still having problems later (and it doesn't seem to be same for everyone), post details here and I or someone else with accounts on both sites will transfer info to them, or make sure they've viewed it here..

    Ok then, I'll be glad to have some means of communication to the center, however.

    1.
    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."
    Exactly that. White screen, it loads and loads and then gives me a timeout.

    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.

    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.
