Hmph, if should have done a complete wget -m of the site before. But now it's possibly too late. :-(

I managed to get a copy online on .

I was reaching out by telephone to Volker Bandke today, to ask for permission but could not reach him (answering machine). I assume he's okay with me preserving the knowlede and content he created.

The content has been altered slightly to remove or update defunct links, and remove any reference to dynamic content, like generated from scripts in /cgi-bin. Also, I removed content appearing personal, like photos from actual people. But I'm not yet finished.

I'm also considering to get rid of Hercules Source Code Snapshots from 2006 and early 2007, since I guess these are no longer relevant. These alone account for 676 MiB.

If anyone is opposed to this, please drop me a private mail.

If there’s more than one domain/website on that server, accessing by IP address won’t work unless that happens to be the default site on that server.

Easily achievable: Use a local entry in the hosts file.

Since the DNS zone is down I can’t find any server addresses at the moment - I’m sure someone knows, though.

Yap, that's the main problem. And we don't know if the server's still configured.

DNS error NAME_NOT_RESOLVED. ?Having the domain name registration renewed is not necessarily the same as having the DNS zone hosted somewhere - sometimes those services are bundled together, other times separately with different providers. ?Using WHOIS to look up , its authoritative name servers are pointed at CNS1 through CNS3.ALFAHOSTING.INFO. ?If you use nslookup to query those servers, you get a response of REFUSED. ?If you (or at least I) use my DNS servers (which forward to Cloudflare’s DNS) I just get SERVFAIL.

I have renewed the domain for two years.

Thanks a lot! Now, it's still unclear what happened to the webserver and it's content. Now, I guess, we'll have to be patient. Hopefully it will work again. And this time, I'll do a backup. :-)

If anyone is interested, I have a snapshot of the website from 2017
including the cdrom ISO. Let me know if anyone needs anything from it.

Hello!
Oh dear. I tried going to that page again, and Chrome complained that
the site did not have a DNS location.

Patrik,

I seem to recall that you have to wait for the dns information to filter
through from the "owner" nameserver to your ISP's nameserver.

If you perform a "whois" search for www.bsp-gmbh.com, using a number of different
"whois" servers, you will see different ip addresses and nameservers for
the bsp-gmbh.com domain.

At the moment, for example,

www.whois.com shows:-
Name Server: NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM
Name Server: NS2.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM

Whereas whois.domaintools.com shows:-
Name Server: CNS1.ALFAHOSTING.INFO
Name Server: CNS2.ALFAHOSTING.INFO
Name Server: CNS3.ALFAHOSTING.INFO

Joe,

Thanks for that reminder ... I seemed to recall that happening with some other sites, but it's been a while.

Also, a big "Thank you" for renewing that site's domain registration, etc.? :D

All the best,

Only if the IP has changed and slave DNS serves have the old entry in their caches/databases. Nslookup the IP and trace route the path and see how far you come. :-) DNS caches should be fine after a couple of hours.?

So then, forgive me if this is obvious, I could take a fully generated and configured MVS system, shut it down – tar up the MVS directory like I do for a backup – move that tar file to a Pi – extract the tar file – and then boot using Hercules on the pi, and it would work the same (not discussing speed)?

If SO, that’s cool.

Thanks,

?

It should work to just to migrate the MVS DASD files from one system to another.? Just make sure the HERCULES config on the Pi maps DASD devices the same way as your host (windows or linux).? By maps, I mean the device number or type match.? Example on PC, device 0148 is a 3350 drive.? If on the Pi, device 0148 is a 3350, it should be ok.? I was planning to compare my DASD config on my PC to the DASD config on the Pi.

When I started on the Pi, I just used 3 sudo commands to download Hercules, x3270 and TK4-. Then I started MVS.? Total time was about 15 minutes.? Being a Linux rookie, It takes me longer to do stuff.
