The new server is a Virtual Private Server with limited resources. Please report any odd behaviour here. Current status:

ps2dev.org : not working
forums.ps2dev.org : working
svn.ps2dev.org : working
wiki.ps2dev.org : working (hosted on external box)
subversion : should be working.

Once again, if you see anything unusual let me know.

Thanks,
David.

Ok, I fixed the web site http://svn.ps2dev.org and hopefully got svnserve running. Can someone please test? I'm unable to use the svn protocol here.

Thanks,
David.

Looks like we're in for a bumpy ride with this VPS environment. Server went down due to insufficient resources being assigned. Resources have been bumped up and we're up and running again.

I'm also living the linux repository nightmare. If anyone can provide a good link which describes yum versus rpm and which repositories to use to ensure different rpm do not conflict that would help too.

Subversion seems to be working fine now.

Yum's just a frontend for rpms to make it easier to update. It keeps track of dependencies for each rpm, making it harder to break some things. I've no idea if you need to use it from the beginning or not, in case it doesn't track manually installed rpms. There are GUIs for yum to make it easier to use. I use a Debian-based system, though, so that's about the limit of what I know of it.

For repositories, you can probably use YDL/Fedora/RPM Fusion, and their communities will probably have links to other approved third-party repositories.

I also confirm that SVN access does work now, as used by my setup.sh scripts for uLaunchELF etc.

But the normal HTTP server is still down causing other forms of access of the same scripts to fail, as in the following example:

Subversion commits work, but give a warning:

Oobles · Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 8:44 am Post subject:

I've removed the post-commit mailing on all the repositories.

Still working on getting the main site up and running. There's a bug in my old code and I don't have that exact version any more so I'm having to update the code which is taking longer than I'd like. I'll have it back by the end of the weekend hopefully.

David.

End of the weekend has come and gone for this side of the world. I made progress and should have the site back in the next 24 hours.

David.

And it's back! Let me know if you see any problems.

I discovered that the web site code was in the middle of a change to make it all based around CSS. It looks like I didn't make it very far, however, there might be some problems due to the fact I didn't do much testing to get it online.

All services (subversion, web site, forums) should be working now. If you find anything that isn't it.. let me know.

Did I say let me know if you find any problems enough? :)

And he is gone again, problem with your dns domain www.pspdev.org no A record found
and several dns error see below

Mismatched NS records WARNING: One or more of your nameservers did not return any of your NS records.
Error DNS servers responded ERROR: One or more of your nameservers did not respond:
The ones that did not responded are:

Missing nameservers reported by your nameservers You should already know that your NS records at your nameservers are missing, so here it is again:

ns.ps2dev.org.
ns0.xname.org.
ns1.xname.org.

Oobles · Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 4:15 pm Post subject:

I tried http://www.ps2dev.org and it works here.

www.ps2dev.org is a CNAME record that points to ps2dev.org

It looks like you're still resolving the old IP address or your DNS server is still resolving the old delegation details. The server is at:

203.17.237.154

The old IP address is 203.34.166.157.

I checked with my name register and delegation is also correct:

Name Server 1ns.livemedia.com.au
Name Server 2ns0.xname.org
Name Server 3ns1.xname.org
Name Server 4ns2.xname.org

Regards,
David.

The name servers aren't returning the same data, only ns2.xname.org is working right now:

Oobles · Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 10:24 pm Post subject:

Looks like the name server had stopped. Thanks for the pointer to dnssy.com it has helped identify a few problems with DNS config too. I'll attempt to get that sync'd up over the next few days.

No problem anymore . Well done guy's

jimparis · Joined: 10 Jun 2005 Posts: 1179 Location: Boston

Almost perfect: although I notice that the whois record for pspdev.org still references ns.ps2dev.org which has a wrong glue record, 203.34.166.157.
Thanks Oobles!

Posting to some threads (probably ones that people are monitoring) gives an error in emailer.php, mentioning DEBUG something or other. I unfortunately didn't catch the full error.

Ps3Rips · Joined: 02 May 2007 Posts: 30

Each time I post I'm getting

General Error

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 234
File : emailer.php

then i page back and try again and I get the error about not posting twice in quick succession so the first post which gives me the debug error seems to go through.

As recently as yesterday another user of my Cygwin setups complained that it was impossible to fully update the libs needed for uLaunchELF from this site.

The part that failed was the one that downloads libcdvd, which is not part of the SVN repository, forcing us to download it not by the usual svn commands but by a wget command like this one:

It looks like every download link on ps2dev.org is giving a "File missing on server" message, in red, when trying to download them. I tested a few random files under each PS2/PSP/PS3 category. Hope this helps, :D.

dns problem again
look at :http://www.intodns.com/pspdev.org

Is anyone working on restoring the toplevel ps2dev.org site and the many downloads it used to contain in its subdirectories ?

Here I am thinking primarily of "http://ps2dev.org/ps2/Projects/Libraries/" which contained many libraries never adopted into the main SVN site, and therefore ONLY available through http: downloads here.

The main reason I'm so interested in someone fixing this is because the source setup script for uLE requires one of those libs, and constant failure of such source updates over the last months is what brought this problem to my attention. But as I inspected these web pages closer I soon noted that ALL download attempts using any of the download links there led to the same complaint about missing files on the server. So this is not even isolated to the PS2 sections.

In any case, in order to keep uLE source releases alive despite this change we now have no choice but to incorporate the libcdvd v1.15 library into the source package of uLE itself, since it is no longer available for download here a ps2dev.org.

For the libs available through SVN we will continue to refer to the ps2dev.org repository in our source setup script, as that will hopefully continue to function as it does right now. (Though that too has been very 'shaky' over the last couple of months.)

Best regards: dlanor

I tried to upload a file the other day, it didn't work. There's definitely something wrong.

There's a recent mirror that has everything at: http://psp.jim.sh/svn/

It's not up-to-date with the latest revision, but almost all of the ports and extra libraries should be fine since most of those haven't seen an update in years.

Plus, misfire has an up-to-date Mercurial mirror of ps2sdk at: http://bitbucket.org/misfire/ps2sdk

For the non-SVN files hosted on the main site, the error is probably caused by file permissions on the server. At least, I hope that's what the problem is.

I feel the same way about potential loss, so I also keep a relatively up-to-date copy of svn contents. I also back up the contents of these forums every so often.

I think its pretty obvious that I haven't had enough time to manage the server the last few months. It seems that the virtual environment the site is currently running on is not suitable to run the web server and svnserve. I have the old server still in a rack. However, I haven't had time to reconfigure it. The plan was to install vmware esxi and setup a few machines. I'm open to suggestions to keep the site up and running and would be willing to point it to another environment if someone else was interested in taking the reins. If anyone is willing, please let me know.

Also, I've fixed the configuration of the main site. Files download correctly now. Although the last test file put up will continue to fail.

David.
