Sorry to say again:

My server hosted in the USA is down and CP only gives me a:

"An error has occurred. Contact an administrator. If you are an administrator please contact TCADMIN SUPPORT."

Quote from franky500 :

have not seen any webserver downtime today. one of the routers that connect to the CP server and your 222.103 server was rebooted but it should be back up now.

Let me know

Thanks, Dean!

Server appeared normal and running in CP now, but it still was offline. However a restart in CP finally did the trick.

Hmm... all servers and our website went offline at around 14:15 GMT... now they are back up again...

except for my server on the 222.103 box. This one is offline and CP shows a unknown status...

@TA1LGATER you might consider not using a cheat... that helps connecting to online servers.

However, did anyone notice some glitches yesterday evening? between 9:30 and 10:00 German time (8:30 to 9:00pm in UK) I had great problems connecting to one of our servers and also this forum, LFSW and our team forum were not reachable or very slow.

Sometimes I was able to connect to our server, but lost connection quite soon and I very often got a "connecting to masterserver" that timed out....

Since my team mates and all other racers on our server got disconnected at the same time, I don´t think that there only was a problem with my internet connection. German websites worked very well and fast - only (some) UK based sites and the LFS servers hosted at 500servers seemed to have problems.

Just saw that my server on the 78.129.222.103 box is down...

Quote from tbofram :

Is anyone still having issues wig the uk hosted servers?????

No issues with UK servers here - having 3 IPs..

Just saw, that my USA hosted server is down too... CP shows unknown status...

Well... Airio support is here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=52368

You have to know, that Franky500 only hosts the files EQWorry gives him and he is not responsible if Airio works or not. We are running 10 Servers now on 4 different IPs and Airio works fine here.

EQWorry and Franky500 are different persons and they are not working for the same company at all...

So sorry to say, but I believe there might be a mistake in your Airio setup.

I would suggest to backup you Airio configuration via FTP and then ask Franky500 to reinstall Airio to default values. Then you only have to edit the Airio.con1.txt file to enter your IP, port and admin pass. Then Airio should work.

Then you can start uploading your old config files one by one to revert your original setup and stats and ban files.

Strange thing....

The Airio updater tells me that version 2.5.1 is available now and I hit "install now" first try I got an error, 2nd try worked.

But if I type !ver Airio still tells me that it is 2.5.0...

Also the CP is very laggy today and my server on the 3rd UK box went offline several times today...

Just for the record:

all our 8 servers and Airio are listed as "unknown" in CP.

Also I am not able to download any Airo config file to change any settings. "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."... (I don´t trust the CP´s Editor yet - so I prefer downloading, editing and uploading)

Well...

Can´t access any Server via the CP... neither my netKar server nor our Redline servers.

Even raising a support ticket is not possible...

What about the new Airio 1.51 version? It´s still not available at our CP... Would be nice to be able to install it.

Also my netKar Server seems not to start up. - It´s not listed in the server list although the CP shows it as running. - Support ticked risen yesterday - but not answered yet...

Hi Crady,

If you have not already can you open a support ticket so i can investigate, The 208 box should be working fine now...

Well... I can´t because I have no admin rights for that CP... Sema is not available atm to raise a ticket... that´s why I posted here.

Hmm... the servers on the 208 box seem still to have problems... all appeard as running in CP but one was offline, I wasn´t able to connect to an other one... So I just restarted all 4 servers.

Now I can join 3 of them and one seems to be OK in CP but it is offline...

That´s what I call a fast service... thanks

Edit:

Hmm... seems something went wrong... most of our servers are offline and cannot be restarted...

Our Airio has an unknown status and it is not possible to start the service...

Also we are waiting for the new Airio version to be available in Game Updates urgently...

Well I decided not to post here, because as I recognized that some servers and websites were down, I already saw enough posts about that issue here.

And - as usual - things got sorted as soon as possible.

Best wishes for your father and you from our whole team!

Next time I suggest to sort out your more important private things first that heading to the first computer you can get a hand on to sort out your business things...

3) If point 2 would be accepted, it would be cool to have an option to get real S0 licence. Unlimited demo usage, without time restriction, for something like 3 pounds. Many people would be willing to give this much. And many admins would be willing to organize demo series with S0 licences to the winners, simply because they're cheap. (Because how many demo competitions a year you can run if promising S2 licence to the winner?)

Great point! But S0 should be for free! Only thing Demo racers have to do is to drive good lap times in that testing period and there should be a maximum of allowed bans.

So Demo racers (hopefully) will become good and fair drivers.

Also unused demo accounts should be deleted after a period of not being online. So Victor can tidy up his database.

Quote from EQ Worry :

I believe Dave is correct. To get the LFSEI, at least download of personal records and personal online stats from LFSW is required. But these requests are accompanied by other, such as LFSW hotlaps, and AIRW records plus hotlaps. This in fact makes 5 requests:

10.07.30 12:39:15 #1 C01P00 åir - Requiring LFSW OS data...
10.07.30 12:39:15 #1 C01P00 åir - Requiring AIRW VB data...
10.07.30 12:39:15 #1 C01P00 åir - Requiring AIRW VL data...
10.07.30 12:39:15 #1 C01P00 åir - Requiring LFSW HL data...
10.07.30 12:39:15 #1 C01P00 åir - Requiring LFSW PB data...

If just one unpaid LFSW key is used, then getting all the data will take almost 30 seconds, and even (much) more if there are other requests already queued!

There are two solutions to speed up requests. One is to use paid service. Put some money on your LFS account and specify in Airio CFG file that the service is paid for. My estimate is that on RR the monthly cost will be between 0.5 and 1 pound. I did a test, and month paid requests cost 3.5 pounds on AA demo servers, but they are rather a busy lot.

The other solution applicable for FULL and PROS versions is using multiple LFSW keys, which you may get e.g. from your teammates. Note that each much generate only one key and that key must not be used anywhere else, or requests may fail. (From this perspective generating multiple keys under one account is the worst you can do.) If you can use e.g. 5 additional keys, then all the requests will be done in 5 seconds, which is rather reasonable time. (With paid service the time is usually under 1 second.)

Hmm... I am using a paid key since we started with Airio and it is not used in any other insim. Also my account still is balanced with around 15 GBP... So, that´s not the problem I guess..

I also set IdentPay=true...

Is it possible to mix paid and unpaid keys in PROS?

It really is strange: Let´s say we are having 15 guests on the server. If I type !ex I only get a few listed with a LFSE index...

Perhaps there is a problem at 500Servers - as you know Dean set up all servers from scratch again... perhaps there is a port closed that is used for a decent communication...

Does anybody else have problems receiving the LFSE index values for some players?

Our server normally is locked to an at least 100 LFSE index to be able to drive the XRG on demo. However there are some players that are not able to drive the XRG because Airio fails receiving their LFSE index...

Ok, I changed the way of storing the stats files to TAB separated some days ago. So Airio would use the last known LFSE index...

But if there is a new player or a player that last time visited us some weeks ago, he won´t be able to drive the XRG in that case.

Hmm... I have strange problems with LFSEI...

Very experienced guests are reported with 0 experience and are spectated for insufficient experience

Sometimes in the middle of a qualy lap...

Is that the same problem with SQLite too?

I have just downloaded it twice:

1.) On my Computer at work with Panda Security - most current version
2.) At home with AntiVir pro (most current update)

There is NO virus in this file.

Perhaps there really is a problem with capitalized characters... As you remember I had problems with the track rotation to BL1R (changed to BL1 instead) - when using bl1r it worked as suggested...
