what is wrong with this site?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : MAME Action Replay : One Thread

Is anyone else not able to log in or view any of the other links on MARP? It always says contact server admin, page not found.

Marp is not the most stable site on the net, you'll notice that "special" screen from time to time, GameBoy and Pat might give and update or two but Zwaxy maybe be the one we have to wait for who's eventually got to fix it.

OK here's what's occured:

4:30 pm eastern Friday - site goes into Internal Server Error mode.

5:15 pm Friday - I immediatly contact Prophet of Retrogames of the problem.

about 6 pm Friday - Prophet comes back and says there's no problem. This was incorrect because I wasn't specific enough. Because he was going out - I tried Opi of Retrogames.

about 8 pm Friday - Get a bounced message - seems it doesn't accept any mail from yahoo.com or something - Contacted Prophet and gave more specific information.

hmmm... about 9am Saturday - Seeing no reply - I went to Atila of Retrogames and see if he couldn't solve it.

11am Saturday - reupload python files from a backup. No go.

7:30pm Saturday - nothing back in my inbox. This is down the lines of "what in the devil can I do?" The waiting game is the only answer I can think of.

I'm going to mention this: if something doesn't happen by my Tuesday afternoon... we may have to call an "evacuation"...

When the site does come back though - What I can tell you, Richy, is that I'm looking forward to seeing your uploads. :)

Hi guys.

I think the site should be working again now. It appears that somebody deleted some of the Python library files from the web servers (not the MARP scripts, but files which are part of Python's standard library).

I've mailed the ztnet administrators telling them about this and put a temporary work-around in place. Please email me if I've missed anything.

Chris.

I don't know if it can help but through the short adress (marp.retrogames.com) it still partially works (but not for the submitting)

Yesterday evening (monday), I started again getting the fatal white screen....
