Amnot Borg Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 ...and another one down. ...another one bites the dust. our luck with this game is terrible and it's not the playing, it's the being able to play. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amnot Borg Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 no one mentioned a reset. game is down for maintenance unless Megalith says otherwise... >:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 we are trying to resolve the adodb issue that is causing the game to drop. the database is safe and the game will be unaffected by any testing going on but the odd server error may appear. bear with it tho as if this issue is fixed then it wont be an issue for the future. from researching this it appears that our servers configuration isn't 100% compatible with ADODB but there are fixes suggested in these posts. with any luck this should be fixed tonite ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 game msg system isn't working :( this seems to have gotten worse recently and ive had a few problems with the cronjob. not sure whats causing this but it isn't the software. Is the msg system here working ok? touchwood the adodb issue seems to be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFMF Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Out of interest, has the problem resolved itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 the crons are now working ok (36hrs without any drop) the ingame messages aren't (its intermittant, some go ok some don't the only msg's i've recieved have been 'is this thing ('msg's)working?'), why i asked about msg system here is i mailed nite and haven't had a reply maybe its related. I'd tried nites suggestion but it wouldn't work cuz the php isn't cgi here (its apache 2) The game still hasnt dropped so i think disabling asp support has fixed it, will not hold my breath on it tho as its worked a few weeks an dropped before now.

Megalith Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 DeadZone Academy Due to myself and Reco gaining such an upper hand in this game we have agreed to share our wealth both financially and in terms of our skills to all players wishing to learn how to play DeadZone. Full training will be given in the following areas:- Starting up - how to get a good start in the game (for the absolute beginner) Attack - attacking planets with and without SOFA Defence - Defending planets from Various attacks Hunting - tracking down players Xenobes - Dealing with Xenobes when to attack and when to defend It is hoped existing players and new players who would like to join the game will take this opportunity to become acquainted with the finer points of game play in this game. The best recruits will receive huge financial rewards and the prestige of topping the rankings. Any players wishing to participate Msg me either thru here or even better via yahoo stating DeadZone Training in youre add contact request(chraigs@yahoo.co.uk) The ingame msg system is not working perfectly atm so most chat in the game happens in yahoo. Reco and I hope that the advice given freely and possibly to the detriment of our dominance in future games will benefit all involved in the DeadZone community. Training is for a limited time only and once completed the game will be reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 DeadZone dropped again yesterday and needed the usual replacement via ftp of the backend directory to allow the game to resume. Still have no idea why this happens but i can tell you all it is not a deadzone issue and any programs ran from this host that need adodb as a backend will fail in the same way the list of applications includes but is not limited to the following applications:- CMSMS phpLens BNT Artekopia Netjuke gallery Quantum Star SE Kabal Invasion Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases PHP Lib Login phpGACL Enterprise Network Monitoring SLOP (Server Logging Operations Platform) PostNuke DBForm Portunity Dark Portal Wild Web EasyPublish CMS INDEXU Core Publish Button MyPHPblog openPHPNuke Moodle Moregroupware PHlexDB Vortex Portal cattaDoc BugPort BugIn NOLA Weather Plotter This list is not fully complete I plan to investigate some of these applications forums to see if the same issue has occurred elsewhere and was fixed. The fix i have to use although simple does require both my access to the server via ftp and access to a copy of the adodb files which means i need to be at home really which can mean upto 15 hours of downtime which is not good for my application or for this servers reputation.

Megalith Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 DeadZone game reset.
