    It's been going to some sort of server error for days - anybody know if it will be back? It's a great resource.

    Wish i knew who looks after this site I have used it for ages I tried using a cached page and it eventually gave the same error . If anyone knows who runs the site please try and get in touch with them ,

    I believe the site belongs to one of the guild leaders of Middle Earth on Skyfire. It was never updated for Chaos Descending, however, he is still logging into EQ2. I sent him in-game mail a few months ago asking for a CD update, but received no reply.

    eq2 wire forums said it got hacked back in 2017. Thats from a web search. I don't have an account there.

    It was fine a few months ago I used it as my go to place for harvesting guide and class optimization for me lower level characters . Hopefully someone can get it sorted out again evenif it is not up todate for CoD it is still a very handy place .
    Yes that is the correct site Geroblue :)

    Yes - https://web.archive.org/web/20181231025214/http://eq2library.com/about/
    I have (in Fox): "Fatal error: Arrays are not allowed in class constants in /home1/vedran/public_html/eq2library.com/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/vendor/automattic/jetpack-sync/src/Modules.php on line 31"
    But:
    Down For Everyone Or Just Me
    Eq2library.com Status
    Is eq2library.com down right now?
    It's just you. eq2library.com is up :confused:
    https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/eq2library.com
    Last shots:
    https://web.archive.org/web/20190523035724/http://eq2library.com/
    https://web.archive.org/web/20181001080324/http://eq2library.com/contact/

    After sending request, page address is changed and only (at me - _web.archive.org/web/20181001080324/_eq2library.com/contact/#wpcf7-f317-p318-o1). It doesn't seem like form has been submitted. And I don’t understand why site owner didn’t write his email for communication (and why users didn’t ask him to tell them his mail on page, to communicate with him). Judging by fact that website is available for service "downforeveryoneoneorjustme", assumptions about blocking by providers :confused: ?

    Thanks for your detective work, Ra'Gruzgob!

    When I click the link in the "just for you" page I get the same error.

    I can get to it from the web archive link, though. I also don't care if it's updated or not, there are very handy things there for reference.

    There is nothing wrong with the site (the webserver) as far as if it's up. It's the software he's using. He probably doesn't check it anymore. There is an error in his Wordpress add-on (jetpack) which is used for stopping spammers and whatnot.

    The domain is there, but until that php error is corrected it isn't going to work.

    I'll use web archive.

    I mentioned to the site manager yesterday that the site was not working .He said he has not kept it updated since he has no time to do so.
    I asked if there was some way we he could fix the error we get when trying to bring the pages up as there is still a lot of helpful material that is useful. He did say that if he could find the time perhaps he will have a look at it and see what can be done .
    No promises folks since we all can understand that getting on with your commitments outside the game take precedent always but lets hope it might get sorted out eventually . Meantime the Wayback machine helps a bit .

    Thanks, Faeonara! It's true that Real Life can sure take a bite out of things.
  15. Geroblue Well-Known Member

    Its possible the php files just need to be reuploaded. That has fixed some of mine. Other sites of mine required more work.

    I'm just tickled I stopped doing html by hand. I think a site I had back in the 1990s, of 5,000 html pages, kind of cured me of that.

    I can read it easily now. Since he is having problems finding a good CMS, I suggest Textpattern. I use it for about 16 sites.
