Had to ban IPs

Apparently our problem was due to numerous attempts to access the website via ip address (not url) causing the server to crash -- talking millions of access attempts every few seconds. Basically, an attack on our ip (that we just got!)

Now, while we're optimistic, we aren't going to say "all's working" since we have bad luck with that phrase. So we'll say, it may or may not be working, but odds are in favor if it working.

Unless something major happens, we'll consider it closed for now.

Apparently the problem's due to a ghost.

Once again (seconds after posting the "everything's fine), the website has decided not to work again. Files that are on the server aren't available to the website, then the site goes down. Few hours later it's up again, and the cycle repeats (all without any intervention by anyone). So hopefully it should be back up sometime within 24 hours -- that's the time it'll take for a support personnel to find the problem when the problem's happening, since when it's working, they can't find anything.

Everything back to normal, SSL is available!

Everything's back to normal now. http://everywhereslocal.com AND https://everywhereslocal.com works.

While both SSL and normal is available, we're planning on the SSL to be used for any personal information (registration & payments). After all, all other information provided is posted on the website itself!

SSL added to the site.... problems should leave

We added a SSL certificate to the site! And all should be well.... but alas, it caused minor problems (https didn't exist). Then the web service was restarted so it'd all work. Mysteriously, some pages "disappeared" (web server didn't see them, but they're there). Now, the entire site says "bad_httpd_conf" as an error....

Supposedly, this will disappear in a few hours as it refreshes everything -- like it's done in the past. But it should be up again soon we'd hope.

Possible Problems

The network that hosts our server is experiencing problems that may or may not affect our website, database and e-mail. Existing data is still there, it just may be inaccessible.

There is no known reason for this at this time, nor is there any problem with the site at this time -- however as the problem is diagnosed, our services may become unavailable as things are updated, replaced and restarted.
