CG updating not working

[[geoduck]]

For my strip at least, both the auto- and manual-update systems aren't working. Any other ghost-town survivors having this problem?

[Xwhy]

(x, why?) hasn’t updated either. There was no auto update overnight Friday, and the manual didn’t work either.

It's happened to my webcomic Carnivores as well, and i think it's affected 1 other comic as well, cuz the queue was at 4 before i pushed the manual update button. I think CG_Cecilia crashed before it got its job done or something. @StrRedWolf can you confirm?

StrRedWolf has said, on Twitter, that his CG password no longer works. So don't expect any quick resolution.

I think Kisai disabled php to resolve a security issue, and the updater broke as an unintended consequence. I've tweeted her about it and am awaiting a response.

For the time being, you can put your pages up by editing the index.html file in the /public_html/ folder directly. Just upload your pages to the images folder and embed them from there.

I gave Cope's work-around a try, and while I can post a new strip, The System no longer recognizes the various "***" codes on that page. So anyone else doing it, you might want to test it all with a disposable page before committing your official index page.

Yeah, you'll want to download the index.html file directly from the public_html folder and edit that before re-uploading it (while possibly saving a backup somewhere in case you make a mistake). Comic Genesis tags like ***comic_name*** simply won't function without the updater. Sorry, it's all a bit convoluted. The system was never meant to work like this.

Anyway, I'm manually creating my html files for the daily archive and uploading them directly to the /d/ folder, and that's been working for now.

I appreciate the info, but for a daily strip like mine it's just not worth the hassle, and I have instead set up a re-direct prompt to my backup site over on Comic Fury. Which I created because I expected this day to come eventually.

[Cope]

Yeah, we probably should be taking this as a sign to finally jump ship. I'm just being stubborn because I'm right near the end of my storyline.

Throwing this out there for anyone who's interested: Smackjeeves lets you do bulk uploads now. Just go to "Manage Webcomic" click "Add a Comic Page" and then go to "[BETA] -> Try the New Uploader >>". Then just remember to select the "all at once" option from the drop-down menu and be on your way.

Hi. Well, if I need to migrate my comic to another site, so be it, but is the false alert from Norton problem ever going to be fixed? I don't like the idea of my old archive remaining up but being permanently tainted with this ridiculous thing.

Sorry, that's looking less and less likely. If it's any consolation, Norton/Symantec only accounts for about 5% of the AV market.

Before you leave, you may want go into your public_html folder and edit the "index.html" file in order to leave your readers a link to your new home.

[Bobadventures]

I intend to. As I said, I've got a three day weekend coming up, so that will be the best time to set up a new home on SmackJeeves and then post a big friendly link to it on ComicGenesis.

Do you suppose contacting Norton would help?

Thank you, Cope. This is all just so sad. And sudden, if not unexpected.

[Cope]

Do you suppose contacting Norton would help?

You can try, but I doubt it. It seems we'd need to prove that we own Comic Genesis just to request a review.

[Bobadventures]

Oy.

[Packrat]

dang.

rumb;les back when chara started to leak.

This is what I've been doing. I only update weekly so it's not that bad, AND the comic's got so much web authority I don't really want to lose it so here's hoping the hosting doesn't get shut down.

[STrRedWolf]

Hey folks. I've been... away.

I've gone in, updated a few items, and fixed the issues. It should be running now.

[[geoduck]]

The updating system has locked up again.

ditto; stalking millionaires is still on oct 20th.
hey red, long time no see. good one?

Looks like I missed my window for updating. I stopped uploading in May after 2 or 3 missed updates. I saw that it was working again (those 2 were added), so I uploaded my latest strip and planned to make a day out of the missed strips that I've been posting on my blog. But it didn't update automatically or manually the day after.

Sigh.
