Author Topic: Sorry for the CathInfo outage (Read 1601 times)

My webhost had DNS issues today. It took over 1 hour on chat with tech support before someone figured out and fixed the problem.

He said that CathInfo should be completely up within an hour -- it might be completely fixed now. I don't know exactly what the DNS issues were.

I accidentally read that as "outrage". I was thinking: so, what's different about that? :scared2:

I got a email today that the SSPX website was hacked and would be back up tomorrow. I hope it was totally unrelated!

Huh, that's why I couldn't get there tonight.

That would have been the work of the Resistance "Electronic Army" I presume.

Who would hack it, since they've removed pretty much anything that might be remotely offensive to anyone from that site?

Thank you for your efforts, Matthew.

It's a bit sad to see that you have to waste your valuable
time with such mundane tech stuff when you have far more
important things to do with your family, and with the
Church -- not excluding reading these voluminous threads
the content of which varies in great degree.

I can just imagine the conversation, them going, "Problem,
what problem? - We don't see any problem." And you going,
"Yes, we do have a problem: we have no website." And
they say, "Oh, well, let's see what's going on here...," and
then you wait for 30 seconds before they realize that you're
right, and there is a problem. And they go, "How about now,
is it better now?" And you go, "No, we still have no website."
And then after another minute they say, "There. Did that fix
it yet?" And you go, "Not yet - still no website." And so on.

But if you hadn't taken that time when you did, who knows
how long the forum would have been down? So I'd like you
to know: I appreciate your efforts.

There seems to still be an intermittent issue, so I don't know if you know. I keep getting error messages that things have timed out when I try to post to a thread.

Yes, it's still intermittent.

It's not just this site of mine either -- my other sites are equally affected. Not exactly good for one's livelihood, for those working in web development. A couple clients of mine are experiencing outages, too, since they're hosted by me.

Anyhow, I'm going to stay on this like white on rice.

They're flattering themselves too much in that screenshot.

I keep getting a 'timeout' message when I post. Anyone else?

Cathinfo is working fine for me. I haven't noticed any problems.
