Hi,

the ISP has announced server maintenance for the night from 22nd to 23rd of July. I will disable host that night, and the server will be unreachable until next morning. As far as I can tell, this will affect only the Titan 17 host.

Hello Stefan,

Is this the reason why i can't submit my TRN today? It returns error:

*QUOTE* Hi,

your turn file for turn 28 of game #64, Titan 17 was received and was REJECTED due to major damage.

>> Turn Checker Output

ERROR: The game directory 'game/data' does not exist or does not have read and write permissions.

*END QUOTE*

Thanks!

Probably yes, because I've just received the same answer twice - first when I tried to upload TRN to the site and then when I sent it by mail. Hope it is being fixed now.

Yes. I'll try to fix it later this evening.

Long version: PHost is a 32-bit application, and there is a file attribute that PHost doesn't even care about but makes the 64-bit kernel fail a stat() system call with EOVERFLOW. It worked fine before the change. (This is a VPS so I don't know what changed.)

Turn submission fixed -> please resubmit your turns.

Fixed means: I replaced the 32-bit version with the 64-bit version. Formula-wise, that one should work even better than the previous one, but the 32-bit version somehow was standard for a long time... So, beware of *small* changes.

(Two issues to go.)

[Edit]Solved the other two as well. This means FLAK got a new build number, and we have a shiny new SSL certificate. Weekend, here I come![/Edit]

It’s working again, You are the best, Stefan!!!

Vielen Dank 🙏

This is a testing version.
It may be incomplete, and have more bugs (or features) than the public live version at planetscentral.com.
