Sorry about the carecure site going up and down with strange messages coming through

Wise Young · 07-31-2001, 06:12 PM

In the past few days, the carecure server has been freezing every once in a while. I had to take it off line and run diagnostics on it. In the process, I temporarily reset the privilege file and because this page gets the CareCure Community logo from that server, you may have gotten a strange message asking for a username and passowrd. Please ignore that. The problem should be fixed now. Thanks for your patience. Wise.

I tried several times to get in but thought Code Red got your server....or somethin LOL.

How did your parents give you such an apt name anyway? I always have thought it a poetic name.

Thanks again for your efforts!

Cass, I hope that it was not Code Red. It is, I think, some kind of denial of service (DOS) attack. Anyway, I hope that the problem is now solved. The server has been up now with no glitches for 48 hours. Uh oh... I think that I spoke too soon... the server seems to have stopped responding. Sigh. Will have it fixed soon. Wise.
