As many people have noticed, the majority of the hosting services are back and working again. There are a few things that are still not working, one of which is CGI access. We have disabled CGI scripts while we investigate some associated issues with running them. Apologies for any inconvenience (but you should be using PHP anyway! :)

kickin rad, you guy's rawk

I don't seem to be able to log into qmailadmin. Is everyone experiencing this?

I never was able to log in to qmailadmin...
hmm i see you guys updated the forum software as well...well done guys!

I tried to log in again and saw that it uses cgi-bin, so that splains it all.

Erm..say, Trog..any word on when cgi will be back up?Or if at all?

Just wondering, is all... I -know- weshould all be using creamy php goodness, but I got addicted to coranto awhile back, and I'm jonesing pretty bad for it right now..

Were any of the applications lost? Just making sure i dont have to re-apply.

Regards,

mantis.

Ahrg....

Guys Seriously when is this going to be fixed ? Our Forums are in .CGI

Ya it's old and we should be leet .php users but I really couldn't be bothered updating and moving users etc.

PLEASE FIX ASAP !

I really don't like looking at our forums in this content

Download PHPBB and then get the 'ikonBoard 2.1.x converter'.

You will find phpBB is a better forum.

To login to qualmail leave postmaster use the full hostname e.g yourname.ausgamers.com and the pass they gave you unless you changed it.

simple it works just not atm.

when will the other sites be back up? because auseq is not working at all

Come on guys. You didn't exactly give us warning that you were going to disable .CGI scripting.

I wouldn't be angry if we had had some notice, but regardless of our choices of .PHP and .CGI you should inform hosted sites that you are going to be taking them out of action.

Our webpage has all but grinded to a halt as a result of actions and I would like some answers please. I mean both our News posting abilities and our forums are both MIA due to your changes.

When do we expect this issue to be resolved ?

I don't want to have to do it, but if you force me too, I will move hosting until this is resolved.

Arhg....

ausgamers is free hosting.. is it not?

So don't complain, a lot of us are in the same boat.

any news on ausdod.com?

I don't want to have to do it, but if you force me too, I will move hosting until this is resolved.

In the future threats like this are pointless because Ausgamers dont benefit from hosting your site. It's a free service they offer to the community.

Allow me to introduce to you fellow webmasters, InVision Power Board. http://invisionboard.com/ It is better than phpBB by far and the only defect is that it's poll editing is poor and that the MOD community isn't quite big enough yet as it is fairly new.

I have used both Invision Power Board and phpBB and I would say that if your just a regular member viewing forums that Invision Power Board is a heap better, but if your the admin of that board it is not so much fun at all.

I guess it is all up to personal preference though as I guess the default phpBB is not so great but the way you can manipulate the boards to the way you want is perfect for anyone who has a rough idea on what they want for their page and how to do it. I have never seen another board have so much control of the way it looks and works.

Just my 2 cents.

muga feel free to look at my boards at http://silentsky.ausgamers.com/forum i have customized it to a bitchness

Yep my phpBB is working fine no idea why but it is.

The email on the other hand is stuffed hope it works soon.

Can annyone edit or access their mail accounts?

http://qmailadmin.ausgamers.com/cgi-bin/qmailadmin

draconicguild.com works through it but there are a few missing things.

Actually I agree with you Stenz, we should've given some notice. We'll get things fixed up and then make some proper announcements with what we're going to do (if we decide anything we've previously offered as a service will no longer be offered).

My hosted site is is php, i believe it far exceeds the limitations of cgi! cgi for me was a rather annoying way of making a forum. I honestly have no idea how you people can use it, and more to the point when it breaks(quite often) to get annoyed at the people hosting your FREE site because of the instabilitys in the tech!!

And why must people ask the same question 1000's of times when its been stated that it will be fixed "WHEN IT IS".

So dont blame Ausgamers for problems with software when you are basically at fault for running it when you have full php usage avaliable to you.

can you recommend a news script to replace coranto?

About to try this one.. hmm...

When do you plan to offer applications again? Also is it possible to host a domain name? Thanks
