[App_rpt-users] Registration server down?

Wed Dec 4 18:16:05 UTC 2013

Guys,

I don't think anything is broken with the registration server(s)--I just
checked the logs at my repeater site and everything seems fine.

You must have a *stable* Internet connection to maintain registration.  
And, realistically, in my experience, a static IP address will improve
your results significantly.

Once your system has registered, you can perform a test from the command 
prompt of your ACID server to get the latest node list. That command is:

wget   -O - http://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl

If this command fails with a 500 error (or 403 error), you're not
registered properly. This could mean that your IP address has changed
since your last registration.

I hope this helps-
