DS2 is completely down

[Max][mu$]

I have put in a support ticket and am awaiting the response, but DS2 for now is completely down which affects all game servers that are being hosted on that machine.

We had some good intentions behind why the box ended up going down and that was to get a separate IP range to handle the constant DDoS attacks. If we can get that worked out correctly, there will still be DDoS attacks, but instead of the attacks affecting more than one game server, UGCC, or B3 hosted services, it will only affect one specific server in which I am not going to name in public for obvious reasons.

I know its the weekend and it sucks to see game servers down like CoD4 HC TDM and CoD5 HC CTF, but know that I am completely aware of the problem and actions have been taken to get things back up and working. I just hope that our server company doesn't decide to charge us up the u know what to hook up a KVM or w/e needs to be setup.

In the end it isn't our fault for why the server box is down. In the end its due to a chain of events from some ******* who continuously likes to DDoS attack us because he doesn't like our rules on one specific server and B3 for that matter.

Sorry guys, I had a very busy weekend. DS2 is back up and running, but not back to its normal state yet. Right now CoD4 HC TDM/CTF/GG server is back up and running as well as the CoD5 HC CTF server. However, B3 for all of our game servers is not working at all since I need Bojangles to fix the problem with the database. For w/e reason it can't connect to it or there is an error with MySQL. Either way only he can fix the problem unfortunately...

Once @Bojangles gets the database errors fixed, I will launch some more servers and try to get things back up to normal again.

I work with MySQL a couple dozen times a year. I can't guarantee I'd be able to fix it, but I'd be willing to lend a hand if necessary.

I wish you could, but only @Bojangles has access.

I say no. Don't want anymore wipes. *cough* Thunderbolt *cough* LOL

So this isn't a SQL issue, it is a B3 issue. The B3 databases that are stored are all accessible via the web (Echelon). Also, I am able to telnet to the MySQL port from an outside source, so everything is good there.

B3 is basically hosed. I have to re-install and re-configure it from scratch. This will take.. many hours.

With that being said, I am not sure if that will even fix it. B3 just isn't responding anytime it is launched, even though it states there are no issues during the launch process.

The good thing is that our configs are all saved. The bad thing is that I can't guarantee every plugin that was active will work with a new install. We'll see.

I don't have the time to do this today, but I might be able to hammer it out Saturday morning. Wish I had more time to dedicate to this, but I just don't have it. Sorry.

Also, anyone with server box access can get to MySQL, if they know what they are doing. Access to it isn't restricted at all. Would prefer someone who knew what they were doing with databases to even try "helping" out though .

Thanks for working on this Bo. I know you are busy so np. If you have some time on Saturday, great, but if not its all good. Just whenever you get some time.

On a side note, B3 is up and working on CoD4 HC TDM, CoD4 S&D, CoD4 Zombies, CoD5 HC CTF, both Insurgency servers, and Black Ops server.

I have not been able to check it on MW2 Repz yet because I don't have that installed at the moment. If @killerhrtz could check that out, that would be great.

[Bojangles]

Well if you see that it is working, then there isn't anything else for me to do. It might have fixed itself after running for a bit!
