Topic: Rocky Mountain Weather Network offline...

[saratogaWX]

I've noticed on May 5, 2015, the rockymountainweather.net regional network is offline with issues related to DNS.

Unfortunately, my contact info for Tony Hake (and his registrations for his DNS) are all on DNS that is also offline at this time.

I've left word at his contact phone number, and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

Best regards,
Ken

I've been unable to contact Tony, and the DNS remains down for the RMWN, so I've moved the collector/website to my hosting for the time being.

The new address is http://rockymountainwx.net/

If you are a current RMWN contributor, please change your RMWN-mesomap-config.txt to point to the new regional hub site.
Change

Code: [Select]

// URL to fetch master cached conditions from
  $masterCacheURL = 'http://rockymountainweather.net/RMWN-conditions.txt';
to

Code: [Select]

// URL to fetch master cached conditions from
  $masterCacheURL = 'http://rockymountainwx.net/RMWN-conditions.txt';
and your mesonet map should work properly again.

I'll be assembling a regional site for the new location shortly -- currently only the mesonet map is available at the new hosting.

Best regards,
Ken

Still been unable to contact Tony, and it appears that his hosting business (pcghosting.net) is also offline (server, and DNS).
With pcghosting.net offline, there were multiple weather sites on the Rocky Mountain network that are also offline with the same issue,
so they've been temporarily removed from the RMWN.

The regional site is now completed for the 'new' RMWN at http://rockymountainwx.net/ and hooked into the global network Google map.

I still have to finish up regeneration of the mesonet map into an editable format, then I'll post a revised RMWN mesonet map distribution on the site.

The following sites were removed from the RMWN due to the pcghosting.net issue:

thorntonweather.com
reunionweather.com
hobbyweather.com
westdenverweather.com
sblan.net

Tony is back.. his hosting is back online, and the Rocky Mountain network at http://rockymountainweather.net/ is back too

If you had changed to use the rockymountainwx.net temporary site for conditions, please change RMWN-mesomap-config.txt to
use rockymountainweather.net again.  I have shut off collection of conditions from the temporary site, and the original site is now
in the global network Google map again.

Thanks, and
best regards,
Ken
