Chat Problem

[Mac (imported)]

Received this message when trying to enter chat with flash client.

[07:08:35] Running lightIRC 1.3.1 Build 121. Project home: www.lightirc.com (http://www.lightirc.com)

[07:08:55] Flash policy problem. If you are the server owner, please read http://redmine.lightirc.com/projects/li ... structions. You need to install a flash policy daemon at darkstar1.tzo.com (port 843).

[07:09:40] Disconnected from server.

Yep, that's the error I got.

Looks like a new upgrade flash needs to be installed and I am sure our head of the chat room is working on this problem.

Welcome to "it never *@#%ing rains, but it pours."

It looks like at some point overnight, around 3am PDT, the main chat server bit the big one. I'm working on trying to figure out what happened to the box, and how to fix it. For right now, however, it will be down. That means the flash chat software will also be down. The backup server is up and running right now, just use the old Java chat. To make things worse, at the moment EunuKen is packing for a move, and will be taking the backup server offline at some point in the next 24 hours. So, worst case scenario, we may be without a chat room for a couple days.

As soon as I know more about what's happened and why, and get an ETA on bringing it back up, I'll let you know.

Rupert was innocent, I can say that with full knowledge that he was in Wisconsin not Canada. dontchuknow

Good luck getting the Chat back up.

Are you really sure? Wisconsin is just 300 or so km from Canada, as the crow flies. I can totally envision the scene of Rupert first leaving his lookalike at home, then hitchhiking to the border, covertly crossing the border on a sabotage mission and returning home, all in one day. . (I wanted to add a story of posing as felis silvestris (european wildcat) to cross the border, but then realised, that it does not live in America).

To be on-topic, good luck with the server, let it be something simple, like overheating.

I see Rupert took a flight to Canada, pulled the plug and then flew back to Wisconsin before River missed him

At the very least, I think the PSU is fried. There's no power getting to anything. I may be able to replace it though (mATX box, not sure if it's a custom PSU or not.) If I cannot replace the PSU, that means new case. And if it's not the PSU, then...

For now though, I've managed to cobble something together that will hopefully hold out until I can find a way to fix the main chat server.
