CC Chat Won't work!

What the devil is going on? I don't know if anybody else has had this problem but when I try to go on to CC Chat I keep getting the error message "Closing Link: [109.169.29.95] (CGI:IRC -- No access)". I have tried to get on to chat about a gazillion times and I just want to go on chat!

Viva las Vegas - or not, it's up to you.

Laura already mentioned this problem a while ago. ;)

This problem is caused by some script bug in Mibbit. This isn't a problem with your own connection and you won't get problems with a real client like mIRC, Pidgin or Trillian. :)

Unfortunately, I have a other problem with IRC. I can't seem to connect with IRC on every client without using a detour (e.g. Mibbit).

Thanks, I remember Laura mentioning it but I know to reload and try again or just try again after it cuts you off and I've tried about one quadrillion times.

This happens me quite a lot times. I thought it's the problem in my location (Bosnia and Herzegovina), but it isn't.

I'm a hardcore christian first, and a creature breeder second.

I don't know what's wrong with the Mibbit applet right now, it won't connect me no matter what I try. I've googled the error, and apparently other people on the web are having trouble with Mibbit today.

Just do what I do and download a free IRC client, like mIRC = problem solved, panic over. :)

You can find chat by joining #Creatures on the WyldRyde server. WyldRyde.org have instructions on how to connect via mIRC here:

The full web client of Mibbit works for me, instead of using the embed applet. :)

When I try that it still comes up with the same error message.

Awww... That's bad. :-(

The developers say that they are tweaking Mibbit, so maybe there is some link between this problem and their maintenance.

I was wondering if the code generated for the room had changed at all, i.e. probably the first part of the mibbit url.

You could be onto something there Don, I just read this in the Mibbit Blog:

* We now have failover/loadbalancing for both the widget (http://widget.mibbit.com) and the main client (http://chat.mibbit.com). Please make sure you are using these exact URLs in your bookmarks and widget code.

Maybe some tweaking is all that's needed?

When you log in to mibbit and it generates the chat code, if you send me the latest version of that then I'll take a look and see if it changed :)

It looks like the frame url works fine with irc.wyldryde.org but not with irc.mibbit.net (i.e. where our channels are).

Just testing why now..

Update: I've tried going to http://02.chat.mibbit.com directly setting the server to WyldRyde and trying to connect but the same error occurs.

I'll contact them now..

I've found it still happens via 02.chat.mibbit.com too - it works for me after a couple of tries, but yeah, it shouldn't happen. :\

Hi there,
It's possible that wyldryde have a server that isn't aware of one or 2 of the IP addresses we use. Thanks for letting us know about the issue, I'll see what I can do and get back to you. Hopefully it will not be too hard to get fixed.

Hopefully they will have the problem sorted soon :)

Hi there,
I've reconfigured our config with wyldryde so you should not get this error. Please do let me know if it happens again.

Kind regards,
