What´s happening with www.atarimusic.net?

I was just wondering what´s happening with www.atarimusic.net, is this website still maintained?

I am asking since none of the downloads I recently tried still works. Apparently, all software downloads seem to be gone.

Months ago I sent a PM to one of its (former?) contributors to make him aware, but never got any reply.

Anyone here who can comment or knows more?

Thanks.

I was also wondering about this. Hopefully this thread catches the right person's attention.

The man you need is Mal:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1862

Try pinging him a pm on here. Hope he's ok.

Yes, that´s the contact I tried back in July, offering the C-Lab X-alyzer software for AMN, but I never heard back.

Looking into the profile above, the last visit here was on Dec. 4.

Hi, sorry for the absence and lack of communication. Regarding the downloads, the host Sudan update earlier in the year which broke pretty much everything and I've been in an argument with them about who's responsibility it is since I was aware of the downloads breaking. As its a joomla error they say it's up to me to fix but as I can't find anything wrong and it started after they broke the SQL links, I say it's up to them.

Upshot is it may well need rebuilding from scratch...

As for my absence, health issues, family, retraining for s new career and lots of other things have got in the way. Upshot is I'm going to have more time, but little energy to devote to things outside family and work. However I will be doing something with the site over Christmas to try and fix the downloads once and for all

That's a real mix of good and bad news Mal but I appreciate the update & wish you the best of luck with life and atarimusic.net.
:cheers:

Good to know that the download issues are known to the makers of AMN.

I am hoping these issues can sorted sooner or later. AMN is an important source for everything MIDI and music production on the Atari.

This site http://www.ataricq.org/ experienced similar problems after the ISP moved everything to a new server with a newer version of php. He was forced to update joomla to a more recent version to cure it. It's an idea, if one is not using the latest joomla.

Mal7921 · Postby **Mal7921** » Sun Dec 28, 2014 7:14 pm

Yeah but it'll be to joomla 3.3 which needs a new player which requires buying a complete new version. Would not be so bad but downgrading php made no difference so the database may well be screwed as everything else works

Right, found the issue... But not what's causing it though I have got the Cubase page working again under downloads...

Now I have the workaround, I'll get the rest of the downloads up and running over the weekend.

Update:

Atarimusic.net is offline. I was made aware of an issue, went to the site and found it online and working. Logged on to reply to a thread, everything normal until I hit submit, then the site vanished.

Unable to get into support section so suspect it's a server issue at the site hosts data centre.

Hope to be back up and running soon

That's bad news

Good luck getting some answers.

I hope you'll manage to get it back online!

Mal7921 · Postby **Mal7921** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:41 am

Well it turned out to be a dispute over the domain name. Provided all the information they needed (Several times with my host also stuck in the middle of it all), finally got it all back online yesterday and...

It's gone again today.

Here I go again...

May just register a new domain as the site is moving hosts anyhow

Mal7921 · Postby **Mal7921** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 10:53 am

Grrr...

Registrar unsuspended the domain (Yay!), then suspended it again because the details had changed (The details they were requiring me to supply in the first place!).

Details sent (Again!), so hopefully this will fix it all once and for all

Fingers crossed - was worried it was lost forever.

Mal7921 · Postby **Mal7921** » Fri May 01, 2015 11:15 am

And up again...

This time it should stay...

farvardin · Postby **farvardin** » Fri May 01, 2015 8:10 pm

great news!

I am so glad that atarimusic.net is back again.

Great work!

Mal7921 · Postby **Mal7921** » Thu May 07, 2015 8:03 am

Have to say it was getting annoying, sending the same information time and time again, even my host was getting frustrated with the registrar (We had a little 'off the support page' conversation about it).

Still, should all be there for the foreseeable future now. Thank you for the support

All I need now is time and some space in the new house to set something up again...

How big is www.atarimusic.net site ? I can host a mirror for now if it helps ?

"This domain name expired on Jul 2 2015" :cry:
