Hi, Earlier today I could not get here. Was the board down? Checked it at one of those sites where you can see whether you are not the only one; I wasn't the only one. Happy to see it is back now! I think that I will add the IP adress again to my HOSTS file, in case it is/was a DNS issue. Thanks!
Down for me as well. Message pertained to DNS not resolving. I checked downforeveryone.com and they said it was just me, yet I could not get here. I performed a simple ipconfig /flushdns and then the site was accessible.
It was shown as down here also :- http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ It's a useful site ( I hadn't heard of downforeveryone.com before ).
Yes, Digital Ocean's DNS servers were having issues earlier, and it may be continuing. Best bet is to add our domain name (wilderssecurity.com) and IP address (104.236.97.180) to your hosts file.
If you're still using Ubuntu, just do: Code: sudo nano /etc/hosts Then add: 104.236.97.180 wilderssecurity.com 104.236.97.180 www.wilderssecurity.com My file looks like this: Code: # # /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names # #<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname> 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost # End of file 104.236.97.180 wilderssecurity.com 104.236.97.180 www.wilderssecurity.com
Thanks friends! I had just also posted the lines for the HOSTS file in : https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/new-server-and-new-certificate-installed.384598/ reply # 18
