site down for a while

Post by spacef »

Hi

the spacef site is down due to "malicious code"" according to the host "SItegorund. "

but i will take this opportunity to leave siteground and put spacef-devices on my other server.

It should be 15 days without website but it will come back, no worries. i must wait end of month unfortunately.
see you soon

The site is back, but I will transfer to another host in early november.
So it might be unavailable for a couple of days sometimes in november.

Also, I had to delete a couple of wordpress engine files, that we do not need. But let me know if you get errors or else when accessing your account (it should not be the case because the deleted files are for completely different functionalities that are not used at all on the spacef website).

The site seems unavailable to me. (Not a 404 error, something returned by the server saying "This site is currently unavailable".

ok, i did not know because I have access as usual myself.
The host siteground says there is a kind of virus on the website. So it is probably blocked on an IP basis (ie, my IP is whitelisted somehow as I need to acess the admin) while other people do not have access.
I have another server (name hero host) and will transfer it asap in december. I saidf that before but as I thought all was fine, I was not in a hurry....

the transfer of domain is in progress. It should be complete by the end of the week (domain owner verification etc). Then I will upload the site to the new location which should not take long.

The transfer is complete at last... of course, it happens the day I have a terrible headache so the rest of the process is going to take an extra day. Now I just need to set-up a basic "empty" website, install the domain and SSL certificate, and then upload the backup of the website that I made last week, re-create emails etc.
I will do this later today or tomorrow.

Problem with the main backup..... fortunately I also have backups of various parts of the site (the most important being your user/customer accounts).... I will try uploading the backup to FTP, and if it doesn't work I will have to rebuild a few parts of the site (which would be much better in fact, but would take longer)....
WIll keep you posted. Still a bit sick today so it is on the slow side....

The domain is online but I want to try various backup/restore options that I have and see what is the best option. I may have to repurchase some plugin licenses, and that will have to wait january because that's around 200 euros or more, and I spent this budget on Arturia's Black Friday already (so now I have all their synths and FX :-) )

But I also have full backup of my website, that could bypass licence issues, but that may also include the problem that led to the site being blocked. So it's a decision to make depending on what I can solve or afford (security plugins on wordpress are quite expensive).
So please be patient as I am trying what is the best way before making the site functional again. The site may be there one day, and gone the next day, but it will be back at the end. I am also making a scope synth, which also takes a bit of time.

Thanks toi give me 2 or 3 weeks so I can do this like it should be done :)

Hi all,
Well all seems to work fine after a few days.
The download section can now be accessed by anyone. This mainly allows to get the update-addon for Echo4m. Also devices categorized for "Everyone" are.... for everyone... other devices require the appropriate key. Personnally I'm very happy not to be on siteground anymore, the site is much faster to edit, all is better, even the graphics seem to look better.
Click the info icon for more info about the download.
Have fun !
Mehdi

I also corrected the possibility to order without account which caused the need to manually assign orders/downloads to customers once they create an account.

There is also an experimental form to submit links related to the scope community. You can upload logo, description, and show your nickname (will show "posted by [username]). Must be logged in to see the form. Later, each link poster should be able to edit his posts (not yet configured as it requires to build a special user profile page to show one's posts).
