I'm making a Linux C/C++ -based bot. I've found your site most useful in the past. Just wondering when you'll get your server issues fixed, or maybe if you could change the host to your site. Thanks Arta.

Yes, i was wondering the same, maybe you could create a html backup for when shit happens to it, since it seemingly happens alot.

Well, I think he wants the system managed with users so that an unknown person can't abuse the service. Or maybe it's so we can do posts. A regular html site WOULD be nice though. ;D

Want one? Write one.

!~!HaZaRD!~!

why don't you just copy and past the stuff in there as txt files for future reference instead of relying on other people and their services... and then bitching about how you can't get anything free anymore for the time being.

Don't be relyant on computers THEY ARE EVIL!!

I really don't mind having it managed with users, but when you are trying to provide a service to the public, and you have a server which can't seem to handle what he would like to do, then what you like to do differs from what you SHOULD do.

You should publish it, with Arta's permission of course. :)

The Valhalla server only has a PHP front-end to bnetdocs. All the data is still retrieved from Arta's computer on an as-needed basis. So when he goes offline, so does bnetdocs.

Distributed computing? Yes, its the dumbest thing since multiprocessing.

Indeed, when everyone knows that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, why add links to chains?

Perhaps making sure the chain has no weak links before you add to it, (get a better system :-\)

My server has not been down at all. BnetDocs broke when the subdomain bnetdocs.valhallalegends.com was added. I don't know why, and perhaps it's just a coincidence, but there were no code changes - to my knowledge, the subdomain was the only thing that's changed. I don't really understand why. I've asked someone to look into it but no one seems to have as yet. I've reviewed the code thoroughly, and it's functioning perfectly on my test server, so it's either a server bug or misconfiguration. I'm not really sure what more I can do.

This is how I see it. *Arta* offers his time and resources to produce a "library" of sorts for programming and development. If people don't like how its run they can do it themselves.

!~!HaZaRD!~!

Arta, why not just host bnetdocs yourself?

[edit] BTW, you might try checking the PHP error logs/turning error reporting on; in my experience with php, a totally blank page usually means error reporting is off and something went wrong.
http://www.php.net/error-reporting

Yes, I'm aware. Errors are intentionally turned off as a security measure. I don't want to host it myself, partially because I don't have much upstream, and partially because I don't feel like telling every tom dick and harry my IP address :)

Perhaps you can have mirrors on different servers, in case one goes down?
[edit] If it would help, I'd mirror it.. my upstream is decent :)


There should be a seperate forum for people complaining about how Arta isn't helping them good enough :)

I also emailed arta offering him a backup host, and i haven't been contacted yet, so my guess is he isn't open to backups :-\

Have you tried removing that subdomain? (since it seems to be the cause of the problem)

perhaps you can send me these?

Yes, I believe thats what he meant.

it isn't that we have problems with how it's run, it's the fact that more often then not, it doesn't run.

Until that last post, every post on this page was edited. Makes me wonder how much sleep you guys get.

Wheeee, I get free credits :P

Anyway, if there's a problem with bnetdocs still, due to some misconfiguration, maybe Arta could tell me some time that would be good for him and we could look into it?

Is it just totally gone now?

Yes I do I apologize for the error on my part.

Flash it's gone till Arta fixes his Misconfiguration Bug/Error he got :\

If Arta is agreeable i will post it up as a same php based site to access the information. ;)

But if not then i will just enojy it to myself :D

I appreciate the offers of mirrors and backup hosts but I can't accept them at present. Because so much of the information on BnetDocs is private I can't risk letting it into the hands of a third party. Thanks for the offers though! As I said, I do appreciate it.

Adron: I should be around tonight and tomorrow, and the day after, and uhm.. most of the time, really :) I'll poke ou on MSN at some point.

I've looked for you at various times last weekend and this week actually. I had an unrelated question. But ok, poke me when you want help. I'll possibly be gr gaming if you get no response.

Two solutions come to mind:
1) Make a copy with only the public info.
2) Use lycos -- I believe they are supporting PHP now.

Indeed, that seems like the best idea, that or make the private info public :)

Isn't there some rule against advertising here? :-P

I was wondering the same thing

Why was what deleted?

The link to their bnet docs ripoff within this thread.

wiki.ik0ns.com :)

Yep they didn't delete the other post...And even if they did..I bookmarked it. ;D

We encourge people to contribute information/sample code to it :)

I will later. Right now I'm busy ripping my hair out over a coding block I've had since last night. >:(

I think we can safely say bnetdocs is gone for good.

We won't miss it :)

I'm still trying to get it fixed. I'm also lazy, though. Should be back some time this week.
