Stop screaming DDOS attack everytime something doesn't work. It's rarely the issue.
Not really screaming, just mentioned it once and apparently it is the issue.
I've witnessed several DDOS attacks and on other servers and they were easily able to track the person.
Anyways, if you were there you would agree with me that it was probably the cause.
that is a DOS attack we have protection against that
DOS does not equal DDOS
DDOS are many ips upwards of thousands to tens of thousands depending on the program
and no it is impossible to track the person when they are doing a DDOS because their ip is not being used itself and it never virtually goes anywhere near the target so unless the person says they did it it is just not possible at all
A DOS however just check logs.txt and it is right there
