Goodbye Deep Thought, hello HAL 9001

As our present IndiServer (aka Deep Thought) has complained several times that there are too many of you, and that he rarely gets a moment's rest after IndiTalk arrived, we've decided that he needs to retire and go fishing.

So over the next two days, you may find that IndiBlogger is intermittently inaccessible while we pack our bags and move over to a younger, stronger and less temperamental server (aka HAL 9001).

See you all on the other side everyone, and wish you all a very happy new year! Smile

Just found a browser in which Indi opens - OPERA 4.4 customized for Vodafone. And now in other Opera Browsers it is showing Error 403: Access denied/forbidden.

To put it in layman's terms, we shifter servers, which means that our IP address has also changed. When your browser makes a request for IndiBlogger.in, the DNS tells the browser which IP address is matched to that domain. DNS servers take some time to update, which is normally 48 hours. During these 48 hours, some ISPs will still point you to the old IP address.

After some research, I found that Opera Mini has it's own DNS cache, which is why some of you may be looking at the old IP, even now. As of now, there's no way to refresh that cache manually, as far as I can see. Frown Will try and sort this out quickly!

Interesting to find out that Opera Mini has its own DNS records cache

Am listening... but it doesn't make any sense, especially now that the DNS servers have had time to propogate! Frown This could be ISP specific, as it's fine on any mobile device I've checked.... Folks who are still seeing Deep Thought, could you tell me what ISP you're using? And are you on GPRS, 3G or Wifi?

DS

its vodafone gprs... Sony Ericsson C 510... Browser Opera Mini 4, Opera 6.5...

Only opens in opera mini 3 on which it is almost impossible to use it...

Vodafone, opera mini 4, GPRS, sony erricson elm.

Sounds exciting. Never really explored Inditalk as yet. Hope it will be compatible with iOS, Android, and Windows mobile platforms...

This change is for good, but with what I am seeing, mobile users have issues with this. It normally does not have to do anything with the server movement but I am not sure @DS, @LEO, @Antara. Congrats to IndiTeam on pulling this mamoth task. Migration is a pain always, and these are some of the side effects. So chill, and wait for the IndiTeam to resolve this at the earlist.

I am unable to access Indiblogger from my mobile phone. Opera Mini 5 and Opera 6.5 browser. Writing this from opera 3 browser, the formatting is awry... Inditalk too is inaccessible. It still shows the fishing message in the other two browsers. Please rectify ASAP.
