[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path.

Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected

to the server on which the file resides.

Hint: The cause of this error is usually either (1) You have used an

incorrect data source name, or (2) You have changed the location of your

data source either by moving it or renaming one of its parent directories.

After moving a data source make sure you update its attributes using the

Cold Fusion Administrator.



The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of

thats what I'm getting, I also get simular errors when trying to access other things on the PXO site.
Whats going on? are they dead or something?
Can I still play FS2 online?

GRASS!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't PXO having a *lot* of problems these days?

[kasperl]

It being down might count as a lot of problems.

Do a search on PXO down or something. AFAIK, the server got damaged while moving, and no-one wants to pay to replace it.

[Taristin]

When's Inq gonna' set up the FSOpen PXO replacement?

[Grass69er]

damn, i really wanted to play FS2 online, playing against the comp is fine, but I wanna play against real ppl.

GRASS!

Not sure, ASAP, IIRC.

How did you hear about that - and how recently?

[kasperl]

Something on a Descent board, I think through a link on the SCP forum.
A week ago, 2 tops. It might've been sooner, but my feeling for time is wrecked.

[WildWolf]

PXO is down for good. I wouldn't really expect it to be back.

You guys should really get together with the guys at descentbb.net to work on getting the PXO source released.

What I want to do is get the original PXO server source cleaned up and ported to run with mysql on linux. It's not a lot of work, but I was hoping to find someone to help out with it. No offers so far though.

I happened to try to play on PXO server. The flight exactly took 00:00 minutes.

Would this allow retail FS2 players to play as well?

If it does, it might be worth it. For the SCP we have a working alternative ready to go up, only waiting for a server.

I thought Grass 69r  and other people trying to find an FS2 game on line, might like to contact us at www.darkwing-squad.com on our forum, as we are playing Freespace 2 on ip since pxo disappeared down a black hole.....

Cya in space.......DW-Suzanna

I could help this guy out. Where do i help?

No. The game would have to be patched. There's some code in FS2 that points to the PXO server - if the server changes, that code is moot.

Would it be possible to redirect that output in some way. Like by editing the host file for instance?

[kasperl]

Is there any way at all to give people who currently install FS2, and run Mplayer, a link or ticket to the new server/this community?

I'm sure there is. Volition could set something up so when somebody tries to register a PXO account, a message informs them of a new, 3rd party server.
