2016-12-30: Can't log in to KGS

Post by Fedya »

Anybody else having problems logging in? Every time I try, I almost immediately get the error message

Error "Connection reset" while communicating with server. You must log in again.


I pinged goserver.gokgs.com and didn't seem to have any problems.

I confirm.
Connection lost during the game several minutes ago.

If I try to log in, the message is "Le serveur "goserver.gokgs.com" refuse les connexions. Il est probablement hors-service. Réessayez plus tard."
Which means "The server goserver.gokgs.com refuses connections. It is probably offline. Try again later".

Seems like it is still down. I thought there may be something on SL about it, but there is nothing.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

There is something: http://senseis.xmp.net/?KGSServerStatus

The page also turns up when you search SL for “kgs” ;-)


It’s up again, BTW.

There wasn't anything on that page since October when I checked yesterday afternoon. ;)

I did not look at the page directly. I just looked at recent changes and nothing showed up there about it

Well, yes, sometimes it probably takes hours until the first person who knows about this page writes their “cannot connect” entry.

Sry, didn't mean to be cheeky.
Well, dang, I actually did :roll: but your replies taught me better ;-) maybe in 2017 I will FINALLY grow up :lol: I’m not holding my breath, though.
