Chemguide NOT WORKING!

[Serial_Ripper]

Hello everyone! I'm unable to open Chemguide (no data is received from the server) ... am I the only one suffering from this? Does anyone have any idea whether it'll work again or not? I'm taking A2 in Oct/Nov and won't be able to prepare (which I just started doing) without that website, since I've got no teacher.
Do you know any other websites that will help me in the meantime? I'll be pretty grateful for you help.

Hey

I've made a check on the server chemguide is running on and found out that the server has failed due to some equipment failure.
So anyway, the site hosting chemguide has said that all websites should recover fully by Tuesday ( 11th August)

Let's keep our fingers crossed that chemguide will come back online soon cause I too haven't finished my revision ><
Good luck

Cheers,
Rhay

Thank you... I'm more reassured now! I really hope it'll be back by 11th....
Good luck to you too!

You are not the only one getting this error. Site has some problem with its hosting service. I emailed Jim Clark and he says it should work by Tuesday.

Guys, it's already Thursday 13th and chemguide is still not working for me. Checked at http://www.websitenotworking.com/chemguide.co.uk , says the website is still down. Do you have any idea when it'll be back online?

Thanks, this looks great, I'll check it out and use that in the mean time.

Could you please let me have Jim Clark's email address? I would like to contact him, but the website is still down and I can't seem to find it anywhere else.

I can give u but I will suggest u not to ask him again..he is already too much troubled regarding his host website ..Following is his reply he sent me today:

The latest from the hosting company (posted 36 hours ago) is that sites should be up by the end of today (UK time). I wouldn't rely on that, because their last estimate at the beginning of the problem was wildly optimistic - but I shall be disappointed if it isn't up sometime this weekend. If you look at their emergency site at www.pobox.co.uk you will know as much as I do.

I shall actually shift Chemguide to a new host over the next few weeks, but not because of this problem. The host company is ceasing trading at the end of this year - something I regret because I have been with them since the beginnings of Chemguide 15+ years ago without any technical problems whatsoever.

I have never actually moved to a new host before, but from what I have read it is a stressful thing to do. Doing it when you are already totally stressed out is not a good plan! Chemguide and Chemguideforcie run to a total of over 1100 pages with all their associated diagrams, and that would all have to be checked after a move. You also, I think, need the help of your old host to change the internet addresses which point what you type into your browser to the actual computer hosting the site. They are currently run off their feet (their last update was posted at 23.19 on Thursday - and I assume that was at the end of a full day working on it), and making the changes accurately is essential, and if I were them, I simply wouldn't want to be bothered at the moment!

All the best

Thanks a lot! I'll take your advice and avoid bothering him with that again, but thanks for the link - at least I can stay updated on this.

Sorry to bother you again, but I'm afraid I'll need to contact Jim Clark and hope it's okay - POBOX recently updated it's home page, saying that website access had been restored, but I still can't access chemguide. chemguide for CIE is already back online, so I'm hoping nothing went wrong. I tried contacting POBOX, but I still have no response from them. Could you please let me have his email address?

Okay, that's fine! Thanks, you've been really helpful. I'm taking CIE exams, but most of the pages on the chemguide for CIE have links to the actual chemguide website, so it's not that much use on it's own. I'm taking my exams in Mauritius.
