Geo it is the game

3rd Cross-galaxy Transwarp access Hub

player number 1

and it is on automatic turns..

Yuri... I suggest you place the game on no auto until resolved.

Another suggestion is to email your turn to some one and your login and password to pbw ( set up a temp one )

And see if they can upload it with no problems

I will do that if you like seiv at symaptico dot ca.

I see geo already suggested that... So it must be a good suggestion... email either of us or both of us

I was able to log in as Juri and upload a turn, so there is no problem with the server. Of course the problem could have been server related and be rebooting it today might have fixed it. I suppose if Juri is able to upload ok now then that's what it was.

It's possible it's someting to do with the specific .plr file you are trying to upload, but I think that is unlikely. PBW doesn't do anysort of file verification, other then to make sure it has the right name. You could upload an empty file and PBW would take it if it had the right name. I can't imagine why that would cause 500 error.

In case it hasn't been said lately, thank you Geoschmo for all the work you do with PBW.

It is perhaps the most appreciated SEIV related thing any one can do, and you do it very well.

I also tried to upload "a" turn from another game that I renamed "transwarp_0001.plr"; and it worked. I guess the .plr file must be currupt in some way. I�ll redo my turn and try and upload it again.

thanks for the help.

Ok, I did my turn again and the new .plr file generated uploads withouth any difficulty. That means that the PBW server is in some way sensitive to "corrupt" files...maybe it does some other checkig besides the name of the file..

anyways thanks for the help again. cya

Well, it might be that. But did you actually try uploading your original .plr file again after the server got rebooted? If not then we can't say definitevly what the problem was. It may have been a server problem like you suspected, but only limited to your game or something. Either way though, I guess the important thing is it's working now.

And thanks, Geo. Are auto-turns back on?

Not yet. I'll do that later this evening. I want to make sure everybody is caught up.

I think PBW is down at the moment (11AM, EST, Sunday May 2nd). At least I can't get to it, maybe it's just me.

thanks,
