ESET Security Forum is not accessible

When I visit the ESET Security Forum (https://forum.eset.com) there comes an error message "forum.eset.com Driver Error" with the error "There appears to be an error with the database.".

So it seems that there is currently an error with the ESET Security Forum.

Sometimes also this error message was displayed:

 

Hello rugk

I have Not seen the service unavailable message.

Ony the below message for the past 3-4 hours.

 

Oh, hello SweX

yeah the database-error-message is most often displayed.
But maybe the forum is overloaded because of this: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/thre...eset-nod32-antivirus-8-beta-available.366841/

 

Could be, but I feel it should be able to handle the traffic anyway.

I'm sure Marcos has the answer but he is not online at the moment

 

Of course Marcos is not online (yet)... 5am...
But I hope that there is someone at the ESET support center online (maybe an emercency service) that can detect this problem, because I also reported this to (US) costumer care...

And I also think that it's not overloaded, because if then - I think - the complete server would be down, but it seems that only the database is affected.

 

But... oh I forgot his name... I think there was also a Slovakian moderator. I remember that we wanted to send him a pizza, because he was also online at the weekends
Was it Marcos? Or not?

I think he could be online right now. Is he also in wilderssecurity?

 

Right, they are probably already working on the problem since a few hours back.

Haha yeah that was for him, and yes he have an account here plus a few other ESET moderators (the old ESET forum was hosted by Wilders) but no the clock is not 5am in Bratislava
(I know you mean on the other side of the pond )

 

You can always check

The problem is with all forums hosted by IPS. We have informed them about the problem and waiting for a response. We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

Yeah I meant the other side of the pond and I already saw that Marcos is also registered here, but I wasn't sure whether he is Slovakian. I thought he was US-American and that's the reason why I said 5 o'clock.
In reality now it's 1pm in Bratislava (ESETs headquarter) and 4am in ESETs North Americans office. So I was also quite wrong with 5am, because ESET North America is on the east cost of the US.

BTW: Your guess about Arakasi's mistake was right.

 

In fact, ESET's headquarter is located in Bratislava

 

@zapjb Jeah I also know this site, but you can't check subdomains there. It always will check eset.com, but we want to check forum.eset.com!
And of course we can also just open the site...

 

@Marcos Glad to see you!
Yeah you're right! It's from ESET North America!
(see this: http://www.eset.com/int/about/contact/)

I corrected this.

 

@Marcos And are you able to say something about this issue?

Edit: Oh, sorry I don't say your post before...

 

Good to know about the subdomains thanks.

 

Site is online again!
