cyberlord.de #43

Closed gregmcdougall closed 5 years ago

gregmcdougall commented 5 years ago

After having problems accessing the database online hosted on cyberlord.de it now appears that the site is running from two IP addresses. For me cyberlord.de resolves as follows:

Pinging cyberlord.de [213.120.234.109] with 32 bytes of data:

The script cannot connect to the database.

Altering the script to 185.80.92.171 resolves the issue and EDSM-RSE returns systems again.

Putting both 185.80.92.171 and cyberlord.de into a browser resolve to the same default Apache page.

I informed the owner of the domain to look into this.

We couldn't reproduce the problem. Make sure you reset your DNS cache. In Windows you can do this by running ipconfig /flushdns on a command line.

If the problem persists, please let us know.

It's back as an issue.

Script amended to point to IP address and issue solved.

Cyberlord.de now resolving to cyberlord.de [213.120.234.122] (note this is not the same as the first occurrence).

IP of the server has not changed. What is changing your DNS entries? 185.80.92.171 has been the ip since you reported the issue

gregmcdougall commented 5 years ago

Could be a bad ISP, but I'm with a reputable provider. I'll look into it, and stick with the hardcoded IP for now. I'm not a DNS expert but I'll take a look and see how I get on.

RapidfireCRH commented 5 years ago

Cool, keep us in the loop. If your script suddenly stops running, message me on discord (RapidfireCRH#7694) and ill give you the new ip (if there is one)

gregmcdougall commented 5 years ago

i've put an entry in the hosts file for now. it's pretty obviously a problem with my ISP DNS.

https://dnschecker.org/#A/cyberlord.de pretty much confirms that every public DNS server on the planet is resolving the entry correctly.

You could configure your router or computer to use a free public DNS: https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062
