Maybe fixed, more investigation needed
Apr 20th, 2024 at 1:08am
Print Post  

The primary issue was one of the security modules was set to block proxy access, and apparently decided everyone was on a proxy. Simply disabling that was an adventure of its own, since this account is not a full admin account and the proxy block was preventing me from switching to an actual admin account. Had to dig through the raw files, find where the setting was stored, and disable the associated variable. While on my phone, on a flight, using plane wifi. Yeesh.

It appears that we are back online, though I don't have time to do any testing and won't be able to do much more for a few more days - still out of town. So, I don't know what else is broken - please report anything broken to me in this thread or in a PM. Amusing how the Vault always has problems like this when I am traveling.

I shit you not, this week I had a conversation with Linus Torvalds and spent several hours drinking beers with Bob C Martin. I guess the next step would be to ask them for help Grin

Steelstar can't even form a coherent thought.

If a fan site is a place for community and discussion, DDO Vault is certainly a fan site.

So what caused the vault to break anyway?  Someone had to change a file or delete something, right?  Its a computer, so if it was running correctly one day, it should just keep on trucking, right?

Or the inputs changed.

The anti-spam software presumably uses some flag, or config file, or something that determines which addresses are proxies and which are not. There's not a lot of information about the operation of the code in the admin center. Basically just a few checkboxes.

Nerd.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?
PM Epoch For Details. Or, in case you don't already know, OnePercenter controls the Exploits Board. Lastly, if you're truly desperate, Vendui Tells Everyone

Both the game and the official forums have been offline for far longer periods of time in the past than the vault was.

Eat a dick Steelstar.

Well, that blows my nerd-cred out of the water.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

You'd think so.

Don't stress bud, he's just angling for compo...

Something good like, three free Spammers corner posts, or a one on one with with Nomnom. Something to really make the downtime worthwhile.....

The Vault was broken for a couple of days. No one could login.

Hey now, sometimes a man's got an itch that can only be scratched by starting another family.

Hey Strake, while you're fixing things, the vault hasn't been rendering properly on Chrome for like 3 months now.
