What happened to HZ Confectioner website?

[Yildar]

As a biped who does a little cooking now and then, I find the http://hzconfectioner.org.uk/ website invaluable. However, for the last week or two every time I've tried to go there I get a "connection attempt failed" message. I thought at first it was just a temporary glitch and I'd wait a few days - but now I'm wondering if it isn't a permanent thing...

Anyone know what happened to the website? There was a ton of useful info there - would hate to see it lost to the community!

I got the same. Looks like the server is down. (maybe, I'm not sure) I also got this info,

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible."

Maybe someone that knows better can tell whats going on.

Yeah, the site is technically still working, its a connection to the SQL server that is failing. I found an old email where I corresponded to the owner previously. I'll send "Bobda" an email and let her know.

sorry folks, hadnt checked the site or forum in a while!

I will get my IT guy to look at the site - I know we changed webhosts a little while back, it's probably related

When I get some spare time, I'll be back in game, I still have an active sub!

[Arietna]

It's all sorted. When the site host moved, no one told me about updating the connection string!

[Dacurly]

Yes it is back online now, thanks Arietna

[Tzael]

Great, thank you Arietna - your site has always been useful, glad it's back

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I was feeling lost, it's a lot easier to look up recipes and quests and such on the website! Much appreciated
