Our site is down!!~

[Rockdiamond]

HI Ps Buddies!
Unfortunately, we're having issues with our site- and it's down right now.
We built it in 2007...it's an antique.
I'm working on getting it back up...
Any PS members that are internet savvy.......please don't be shy to reach out.
We're fully open and doing business......

Too tired do any more poking tonight, but I pinged your website through PowerShell and it's up and running.

Inspecting the page, I'm getting this error message through the Google Chrome browser:


I'm seeing this upon inspection of the source:



And this error message through the Microsoft Edge browser:



I'm on the cybersecurity side, not development, but have your IT team check your proxy server and firewall settings. If that isn't it, reach out to whoever hosts your website and send them the above images, that should get them in the right direction.

It looks like you're still down...hoping you find the issue/fix soon!

Hi All,
To say I'm heartbroken is an understatement.
It seems harder and harder to restore the site as it was.
Of course, I'm not giving up- we have the data- and somehow we will find a way to rebuild.
It's a test of character...I have to somehow put aside the debilitating sadness over our work vanishing, and move ahead. 20/20 hindsight.... how could I not have foreseen the potential for this?
We've pretty much got every available item up on eBay and the search function will work for specific items. The categories are not nearly as efficient as our site, but you can search fairly effectively by category.
I've changed my signature to link to the eBay store for now.

Oh man, what a bummer! Sorry to hear this. Maybe it’s the push you need to upgrade to newer technology? I know it’s hard to hear that when it means more work for you no matter what. Hoping you’ll be back online with your own site soon.

Part of the issue is how much of a total pain in the A$$ I am when it comes to the way the site looks and feels.
It took many months to design the website many knew and loved. I insisted on a lot of things
No one had color selection in the WXYZ range. Does any other site have it now?
The design….size of the pictures.
But we need to move on. I need to. I will. Do it again

 

[Rockdiamond]

It’s back!!!
Not fixed entirely but back!!!!

 

[Rockdiamond]

Now it's 100% up and running!!
The issue had to do with our servers- which weren't being managed properly. We got a new company to clean them up and bingo!! We're baaaaaaaaaack!!!

Fantastic, @Rockdiamond! So glad you’re back online with the original site! I missed looking at the sparklies, there.

ETA: Will you change your signature line back to your website URL?
